[ha-Safran] Writer seeking information about the arrival of Jews from Brazil to New Amsterdam in 1654

2014-10-07 Thread Judy Weidman
One of our patrons is researching this history, for material for a children's 
nonfiction book. If any suggestions for materials (I have given her Jewish 
Pirates of the Caribbean) or if you know of any children's books on the topic, 
I'd appreciate any input. She'd like any background on early Caribbean Jews 
(Jamaica, Curacao, Cuba) as well. Judy Weidman

Jaqueline Dembar Greene wrote a wonderful pair of fictional stories about this 
period for young readers:
Out of Many Waters and One Foot Ashore.

[ha-Safran] help with a project

2014-10-07 Thread Rose Shoshanah Seidman
Dear safranim:

Do you like to cook?  Do you entertain and are you known as a great hostess?  
If you do, I and AJL need your help and your skills.

I am looking for someone to help me communicate with the caterer for our next 
conference(s) especially the 2016 conference on whose planning we are working 
very hard.

It's a fun and creative project - an important part of a great conference as we 
all know.

Thank you in advance for stepping forward.

Wishing you a pleasant Succot,

Best,
Shoshanah
