[ha-Safran] FW: AJS session seeking participants: research by and for synagogue congregations

2013-04-30 Thread Rachel Leket-Mor
Shalom all,

This note landed on my virtual desk through the Jewish Studies Network 
(H-Judaic). It seems pertinent to SSC members who may want to present at the 
2013 annual conference of AJS (please note: "The panel ideally may also include 
non-academic stakeholders in this field..."). Go for it! 

Best wishes,

Subject: AJS session seeking participants: research by and for synagogue 
congregations

I would like to organize a session for AJS in Boston next December that will 
address recent trends in Jewish congregational research.  The panel will 
include current thinking and work on how data collection has been used to serve 
congregational process and goals. The focus is on applied research by, for, and 
about Jewish congregations; depending on the papers offered, it could take a 
more theoretical direction.  The panel would benefit from including everything 
from "big data" to small-scale approaches and projects. 
Papers will also likely frame any applied work within larger issues that face 
congregations now.  Larger issues relate, for example, to collaboration among 
congregations towards effective and affordable programming (that is my topic), 
helping congregations become more internally vibrant, or other issues of 
congregational change and viability.  The panel ideally may also include 
non-academic stakeholders in this field, such as those who fund synagogue 
innovation and vitality projects.  If you would like to present on a panel with 
this topic or have related suggestions, please contact me at she...@gratz.edu.

You can also make a display the "Best books you're not reading" to highlight 
some forgotten books. If you  use bookcovers (sadly, we toss ours) you can 
recover them with a shiny new jacket to make them look newer.

I am near the end of recataloging our adult fiction. I have found several books 
from authors such as Martha Wolfenstein, Jacob Lazarre, Rufus Learsi, and 
Samuel Gordon, all of which were published between 1900 and 1925. The books are

[ha-Safran] Columbia CNMTL to Collaborate with Jewish Higher Ed Institutions on E-Learning

2013-04-30 Thread Michelle Chesner
CCNMTL To Collaborate With Jewish Higher Ed Institutions On ELearning
Faculty 
Fellowship
 NEW YORK, April 24, 2013 – The Columbia Center for New Media Teaching and
Learning(CCNMTL)
is partnering with the Jewish
Theological Seminary’s Davidson Graduate School of Jewish
Education,
Hebrew Union College - Jewish Institute of
Religion,
and Yeshiva 
Universityto
offer an inter-institutional eLearning Faculty Fellowship to support
the
design and implementation of educational technology projects in the three
partner institutions.

The fellowship program will be offered over two years and will target
faculty of the schools of education and related disciplines at each
institution. Approximately 20 faculty from the three institutions will be
selected through an application process to comprise a cohort of fellows.The
first fellowship will begin in April of this year.

Each cohort will attend five in-person and five online workshops to learn
strategies, tools, and approaches for using educational technologies to
improve student engagement and learning. CCNMTL staff will facilitate the
in-person workshops, which will be based on seminars on teaching with
technology the Center currently offers to Columbia faculty.

Each fellow will design and implement an educational technology project in
his/her own teaching with the support of the home institution. Fellows will
receive individual assistance with projects through weekly virtual office
hours with CCNMTL staff. The fellowship will culminate in two showcase
events at which fellows will demonstrate the projects they have developed.

A final component of the partnership is a monthly round-table gathering of
the leadership of the three institutions with CCNMTL directors to discuss
strategic and tactical directions around educational technologies.

The fellowship is sponsored by the Jim Joseph
Foundation,
a philanthropic organization dedicated to supporting the education of
Jewish youth and young adults in the United States.

The fellowship builds on an existing CCNMTL partnership with
JTSlaunched
in 2011 to promote the the use of technology and new media in
teaching and learning at JTS.

[ha-Safran] Breaking News About The Book, "The Shtetl Of Musnik"

2013-04-30 Thread Chaim Mazo
After the book "The Shtetl of Musnik" was published in English, the 
Musnik community came together to publish this harrowing story of their 
past into the Lithuanian language.


"On Wednesday August 27, 1941, the police and Lithuanian partisans 
evicted all the Jews of Musnik from their homes and on September 5, 
1941, the partisans and police took all the Jews of Musnik (Musninkai) 
together with the Jews of Sirvintos and Gelvonai and the surrounding 
farms - men, women, and children - and shot them in the ditches of 
Pivonia near Vilkomir. This was the tragic end of the Jewish community 
of Musnik and of the Jewish communities of the Vilkomir Region of 
Lithuania."


In addition to the Lithuanian edition, the Musnik community has created 
a dramatic video of their city today and its Jewish history, which it 
went public with this week.
