[ha-Safran] new book in English on antisemitism in Turkey
Dear librarians, Dear friends, Please note that in the following weeks my new book will be published: *Antisemitism and Conspiracy Theories in Turkey, *Libra Kitap, İstanbul, 2013,* *418 p., 978-605-4326-73-0 $ 50.00 + postage Back cover text and table of contents are listed below. Payment is by credit card. Postage everywhere outside of Turkey is $ 10.00 Please let me know if you would like to order. Best regards, ** * * *Back Cover* The official line that successive Turkish regimes have frequently repeated and which has firmly established itself in both Turkish and foreign public opinion is that the Republic of Turkey is one of those rare countries in which antisemitism has never taken root, and in which Jews have thus lived for centuries within a tolerant atmosphere of peace and tranquility, but it simply isn’t true. Along with antisemitism are the conspiracy theories in which the “Jew” or the “Zionist” feature as the main actors that are widely seen throughout Turkish society. In fact, this state of affairs is not only pervasive but has even become “normal” to the point of banality, so much so that it tends to draw no reaction from either the country’s intellectuals or politicians. This book contains a collection of author’s published articles on the subject—a subject that has received no serious treatment in Turkey, and as such attempts to fill the gaping hole in our knowledge of this widespread yet rarely discussed phenomenon and, as such, stands as an indispensible source for those interested in Turkey and antisemitism. *TABLE OF CONTENTS* *ABBREVIATIONS* *INTRODUCTION* *Chapter 1 - ANTISEMITISM IN TURKEY* 1.

[ha-Safran] Library Assistant in Hebrew
Dear Safranim, Any suggestions for a way to say in Hebrew, Library Assistants? Our student teachers are called Madrichim, and I'd like to have a Hebrew name for the high school students who help me in the library on Sunday mornings. It doesn't have to literally mean library assistants, but should convey that they'll be working in the library, working with media and tech equipment, too, etc. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated - thanks!

[ha-Safran] On the Threshold of the Promised Land (Magnes press)
Hello We would like to introduce a new book published by Magnes press: On the Threshold of the Promised Land The account of the preparations for entering Canaan and the formation of the Pentateuch By Itamar Kislev http://www.magnes-press.com/Authors/Itamar+Kislev.aspx?name=Itamar+Kislev This study examines the Pentateuchal account of Israel’s preparations for entering Canaan, appearing within the concluding section of the Book of Numbers. Literary-critical analysis reveals that each of the passages that comprise this account is the product of several stages of composition, with each literary stratum reflecting the ideological tendencies of the authors responsible for its creation. It emerges that ideological disputes that raged in Judea of the Persian period, when these texts were composed, manifested themselves in historiographical accounts describing a much earlier time – that just prior to the entry into Canaan. The wilderness period, seen as decisive for Israel’s past, and the notion of the Mosaic… read more http://www.magnes-press.com/Book/On+the+Threshold+of+the+Promised+Land.aspx?name=On+the+Threshold+of+the+Promised+Landcode=45-101127docNo=1qid=3 .

[ha-Safran] our Louis Jacobs Digital Exhibition now live!
Dear Safranim, you are invited to explore our new digital exhibition http://www.ochjs.ac.uk/mullerlibrary/digital_library/Louis-Jacobs/index.html The Leopold Muller Memorial Library has launched a digital version of the exhibition We Have Reason to Inquire: The Life and Works of Rabbi Dr Louis Jacobs. The exhibition illustrates Rabbi Dr Jacobs’ life and thought by means of documents, letters, newspaper clippings, manuscripts, typescripts and photos. It contains everything displayed in, and also supplements, the physical exhibition at the Leopold Muller Memorial Library which is open for viewing until October 2013, Mon.-Fri., 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. In a 2005 Jewish Chronicle poll, Rabbi Dr Louis Jacobs was voted the ‘Greatest British Jew’. He was undoubtedly the outstanding twentieth-century Anglo-Jewish scholar and rabbi, combining an active rabbinical career with tireless activity as a scholar in Jewish Studies, publishing widely on topics such as Jewish thought and mysticism, Jewish liturgy, Hasidism, rabbinics and history. He was especially fruitful in the area of Jewish philosophy, specifically in the field of Jewish theology, and it is on Rabbi Jacobs as a Jewish theologian that this exhibition concentrates. At the same time it also covers his continuous activity as a community rabbi, concerned with practical issues facing his congregation, and always intent on communicating to the ‘Jew in the pew’ – his words – the ongoing conversation with Jewish tradition that was his intellectual life. Rabbi Dr Jacobs was in communication with some of the greatest scholars of his time. Throughout his working life he published numerous books on Jewish Studies, including some on areas that had traditionally received less attention from scholars, such as Hasidism and mysticism. In this eclectic choice of fields, as well as in his wide range of knowledge, he was comparable to scholars such as Gershom Scholem. It was the ‘Jacobs affair’ that brought him to the attention of the general public, and its reverberations kept him firmly in the public eye. The Masorti movement, which he did not instigate but which he supported after its birth, changed the tenor of Anglo-Jewish life in ways which would not have been possible had he restricted himself to a purely scholarly career. Rabbi Dr Jacobs donated his Library to the Leopold Muller Memorial Library thanks to the good offices of the former Fellow Librarian, Dr Piet van Boxel. The Exhibition has benefited from the help of the Friends of Louis Jacobs, particularly Rabbi Jacobs’ son, Mr Ivor Jacobs, as well as the rest of the family. The main source has been the family archive, part of which has been lent to the Library, and which the Library has started to digitize. The Exhibition Team is extremely grateful to all who contributed to our project in terms of adding archival material, offering advice, or helping and supporting us throughout the process. The Exhibition was curated by Dr César Merchán-Hamann, with co-curators Milena Zeidler (in charge of the digital exhibition, among other things), Jane Barlow and Dr Zsófia Buda. --- Milena Zeidler Deputy Director Leopold Muller Memorial Library Oxford Centre for Hebrew and Jewish Studies Office phone: +44(0)1865-377946 ext. 133 Web: www.ochjs.ac.uk/mullerlibrary Email: milena.zeid...@ochjs.ac.uk __ Messages and opinions expressed on Hasafran are those of the individual author and are not necessarily endorsed by the Association of Jewish Libraries (AJL) == Submissions for Ha-Safran, send to: Hasafran@lists.service.ohio-state.edu To join Ha-Safran, update or change your subscription, etc. - click here: https://lists.service.ohio-state.edu/mailman/listinfo/hasafran Questions, problems, complaints, compliments send to: galro...@osu.edu Ha-Safran Archives: Current: http://www.mail-archive.com/hasafran%40lists.service.ohio-state.edu/maillist.html Earlier Listserver: http://www.mail-archive.com/hasafran%40lists.acs.ohio-state.edu/maillist.html AJL HomePage http://www.JewishLibraries.org -- Hasafran mailing list Hasafran@lists.service.ohio-state.edu https://lists.service.ohio-state.edu/mailman/listinfo/hasafran
