[ha-Safran] "Bessie's Pillow," by Linda Silbert

[Arieh Lebowitz]

Greetings:
 
I thought that some "here" might be interested in the book aimed at young 
adults, "Bessie's Pillow," by Linda Bress Silbert.

"Twenty Million Immigrants came to America between 1880 and 1924.
Most would come from Eastern and Southern Europe, others from Asia and Latin 
America.  

They passed their stories of struggle and triumph down to us, their children 
and grandchildren. Bessie Markman, one those immigrants, left Lithuania in 1906 
to get away from persecution against Jewish people by the Russians and to find 
a new life in New York. Writing her story was passed on to her granddaughter 
Linda Silbert."
 
Here’s a website for more information  is http://bessiespillow.com 
And there is a teacher resources page:

[ha-Safran] Elazar cataloging question

[Marga Hirsch]

Folks who use Elazar, where are you putting Ari Shavit's My Promised Land? It 
begins with an account of his great-grandfather's arrival in Palestine in 1897 
and so covers the time from the Zionist Revival to the Creation of the State 
(827), but it continues to the present (828). I'm inclined to go with 828, 
because what motivated him to write is the situation today.

This is not the first time that I've found it challenging that Elazar is so 
particular, that it's difficult to classify general works. Happens all the time 
with kids' books. How do you classify a book that's all about Israel - history 
AND geography AND agriculture AND arts, etc.?

I will be happy to hear what others have decided.

Thanks,

Marga

Re: [ha-Safran] Estee Lauder question

[Barbara Mende]

Her son has been so active in the Jewish world that it's a shame to think she might not have been allowed Israeli citizenship under the law of return.BarbaraFrom: "Johnson, Naomi"  To: Lisa Silverman ; "hasaf...@lists.osu.edu"   Sent: Tuesday, December 10, 2013 1:10 PM Subject: Re: [ha-Safran] Estee Lauder question   

 



The exert below is taken from Wikipeadia. Although Wikipedia is never thought of as a true reference, it does explain both the Catholic and Jewish references you mentioned.


I'd be curious though to see what others write in response to your question, since her mother was a Schotz Rosenthal, had two Jewish husbands and named their daughter Esther. Esty must have had a strong Jewish background in spite of her mother with the
 Catholic moniker. How the mother's family became Catholic would be very interesting.






Lauder was born Josephine Esther Mentzer in Corona,
 Queens in 1908,[Note
 1][2] the
 second child born to Rose Schotz Rosenthal and Max Mentzer.[3][4] Her
 mother was French Catholic on
 her maternal side and Hungarian
 Jewish on her father's side.[5][6][7] Rose
 emigrated from Hungary to the United States in 1898 with her five children to join her then husband, Abraham Rosenthal.[3] But,
 in 1905, she married Max Mentzer,[3] a
 shopkeeper of Hungarian Jewish descent who had also immigrated to the United States in the 1890s.[3] When
 their daughter was born, they wanted to name her Esty, after her mother's favorite Hungarian aunt. Then the time came for the clerk to write out the birth certificate, and her mother chose Esther instead because Esty seemed so unusual that no one would know
 how to spell it. So, Esty became her parents' nickname for her, which sounded like Estée when her father pronounced it in his Hungarian accent.[8] Eventually
 she attended Newtown High School in Elmhurst, New York. But much of her childhood was spent trying to make ends meet. Like most of her eight siblings, she helped out at the family's hardware store, where she got her first taste of business, of entrepreneurship
 and what it takes to be a successful retailer. Her girlhood dream was to become an actress with her “name in lights, flowers and handsome men."[4]

Re: [ha-Safran] Estee Lauder question

[Aileen Grossberg]

This is what Jewish Women in America says" Born to Josephine Esther Mentzer in Queens, New York, to Max and Rose (Schotz Rosenthal) Mentzer, a Hungarian immigrant with a French Catholic mother and Jewish father."  I would interpret that to mean that her maternal grandmother was a French Catholic. Lauder's mother's religious identification. (p.799)


 


Rachel Epstein's biography for youing readers makes no mention of her mother's religious background.

[ha-Safran] Fw: [ha- Safran] Availability of transliterated Siddur

[Rose Myers]

While compiling a Friday night service siddur using Davka,
these websites were suggested or found by me:

this website has Word files for the transliterations and is Free, as a 
WordPress blog, called Free Siddur Project:
http://siddur.arielbenjamin.com/texts


this website
http://oneshul.org/transliterated-kabbalat-shabbat-and-how-to-guide/
with this pdf file
 
http://punktorah.org/oneshul/wp-content/The%20Cantor%E2%80%99s%20Kabbalat%20Shabbat.pdf
is shareware and they'd like a donation.

I used the Davka siddur and made a few changes to fit with our more egalitarian 
versions of some prayers.

Let me know if you want more specifics about formatting.

Re: [ha-Safran] Estee Lauder question

[Johnson, Naomi]

Just saw those typos!  So sorry!!

The exerpt below is taken from Wikipedia. Although Wikipedia is never thought 
of as a true reference, it does explain both the Catholic and Jewish references 
you mentioned.

I'd be curious though to see what others write in response to your question, 
since her mother was a Schotz Rosenthal, had two Jewish husbands and named 
their daughter Esther. Esty must have had a strong Jewish background in spite 
of her mother with the Catholic moniker. How the mother's family became 
Catholic would be very interesting.




Lauder was born Josephine Esther Mentzer in Corona, 
Queens in 1908,[Note 
1][2]
 the second child born to Rose Schotz Rosenthal and Max 
Mentzer.[3][4]
 Her mother was French 
Catholic on her maternal side and 
Hungarian Jewish on her father's 
side.[5][6][7]
 Rose emigrated from Hungary to the United States in 1898 with her five 
children to join her then husband, Abraham 
Rosenthal.[3]
 But, in 1905, she married Max 
Mentzer,[3]
 a shopkeeper of Hungarian Jewish descent who had also immigrated to the United 
States in the 
1890s.[3]
 When their daughter was born, they wanted to name her Esty, after her mother's 
favorite Hungarian aunt. Then the time came for the clerk to write out the 
birth certificate, and her mother chose Esther instead because Esty seemed so 
unusual that no one would know how to spell it. So, Esty became her parents' 
nickname for her, which sounded like Estée when her father pronounced it in his 
Hungarian 
accent.[8]
 Eventually she attended Newtown High School in Elmhurst, New York. But much of 
her childhood was spent trying to make ends meet. Like most of her eight 
siblings, she helped out at the family's hardware store, where she got her 
first taste of business, of entrepreneurship and what it takes to be a 
successful retailer. Her girlhood dream was to become an actress with her “name 
in lights, flowers and handsome 
men."[4]

Subject: [ha-Safran] Estee Lauder question

Students here are researching famous Jews and they have come across two 
versions of Estee Lauder’s birth: One is that she was born to Hungarian Jewish 
immigrants, and the other states that her mother was French Catholic.

Does anyone have a reliable source (we do not own her autobiography) that could 
shed light on the question of who her parents were?

[ha-Safran] Chana Mlotek Shloyshim program available online

[Amanda Seigel]

Dear Safranim,

On Sunday, December 8, there was a Shloyshim program at YIVO for Chana
Mlotek, z"l, who was for decades the music archivist there. Sadly, Chana
passed away in November at the age of 91. The program was a beautiful
tribute to her life and work in the research and dissemination of Yiddish
music.

You can watch the program online at:
http://www.idostream.com/events/12082013-2264/broadcast.php

Sincerely,
Amanda

[ha-Safran] Availability of transliterated Siddur

[ALBA TOSCANO]

Howdy do one and all. As advertised, I am still knitting mittens and 
such for all you lovely people who sent me calendars and stuff, so if 
you haven't gotten yours yet, hang on, with any luck at all they'll get 
there before we all freeze for good. (Sunny Spain, what a joke.)


On to the question:
Howard Rood pres of Or Tikvah (Grayslake, IL) wrote on the USCJ Prez-list:

We still use the Harlow Siddur Sim Shalom and are updating our 
companion guide of transliterations.  Does anyone know where I can get 
access to or purchase the following?
 
1. Electronic file transliterations of Shabbat service prayers for 
the Harlow Siddur Sim Shalom
2. Electronic file version of the Harlow Siddur Sim Shalom in 
Davka so we can combine the Hebrew and English and/or transliterations 
as needed


Any ideas? Here's his email and number.
