[ha-Safran] Happy Calendars from neighborhood Mortuaries 5774

2013-07-24 Thread ALBA TOSCANO

Hey all. Frying eggs on car hoods yet?

What with High Holidays zooming in on us like a hive of heat-crazed 
honey bees this year,  I am hailing one and all for happy free-bee 
calendars from Mortuaries and local Supermarkets especially the ones 
with a center fold-out of coupons for 12cents off 9-ounce jars of purple 
chrein; everybody around this watering hole gets a kick out of coupons 
because neither the concept of coupons nor the concept of chrein (nor 
the concept of guefilte fisch for that matter), exists. The coupons 
promote endless hours of pointless, albeit amusing discussion on 
cultural differences.


As a warm thank you, as some of you have already found out, I even throw 
in a pair of hand-made mittens made from left over 100% pure wool balls 
of yarn in my yarn bag (pointless in Florida, granted, but they come in 
handy in Maine). No two mittens alike. Mostly fingerless in an attempt 
to finish them before I run out of a particular kind of yarn.


Relish the heat, this too will end, winter is just around the corner
When in Valencia, come on by, the tour is on me

[ha-Safran] Gershom Scholem's Zoharic Lexicon Card Catalogue Online

2013-07-24 Thread Zvi Leshem
Shalom,
The Gershom Scholem Collection of the National Library of Israel proudly 
announces the scanning and uploading of Prof. Gershom Scholem's card catalogue 
of Zoharic Aramaic.
[http://web.nli.org.il/sites/NLI/Hebrew/collections/jewish-collection/scholem/scholem-card-catalog/PublishingImages/Scholem1_200x125.jpg]
The catalogue features over 11,000 images of cards that Scholem wrote 
throughout his lifetime. Each card is an entry explaining one term of Zoharic 
Aramaic. 
[http://dlib.nli.org.il/cardcat/images_Scholem/files/0013/thumbnails/0001.jpg] 
http://dlib.nli.org.il/dtl-cgi/carddisplay_Scholem.pl?drawer=12;card=1;max=774
The cards can be viewed as the original scans or as PDFs by letter that can 
also be downloaded. There are English and Hebrew introductions and 
explanations, including an article by Scholem's student Prof. Yehuda Liebes and 
a guide for deciphering the cards. We invite you to enter the world of the 
cards yourself and to spread the word to your readers and colleagues. Of course 
when you are in Israel please come to visit the Scholem Collection at the 
National Library.

As the proud owner of a pair of this wonderful gloves - I can attest to the
fact of a) their warmth and that of the maker :=) and b) that they are
absolutely chic - tres chic! So donate!

(And I could never get gefilte fish eitherit's never done a thing for
me - but I do get the tradition :=)

So in Spain - what are the customary holiday food/s

Cheers,

Nancy

[ha-Safran] Son of Hamas

2013-07-24 Thread Kathe Pinchuck
Esteemed colleagues:

A patron asked if the above title is suitable for her 14-year-old son. 
Obviously there will be violence, but she is more concerned about sex and 
expletives.

Son of Hamas: A Gripping Account of Terror, Betrayal, Political Intrigue, and 
Unthinkable Choices by Mosab Hassan Yousef and Ron Brackin

Thank you for your help,

2013-07-24 Thread Esther Nussbaum
If you or anyone you know are in the NYC area, check out the musical, Soul
Doctor about the life and music of Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach.  it is playing
on Broadway at the Circle in the Square theater.  It is a wonderful story
and a wonderful production.
