Can someone help us out here?  This came to me from a lovely patron:

It's pretty sad to become frazzled over a book title but I've become obsessed 
with locating it.  A while back I read
a book about a young girl in Europe who gets a job working in a wealthy house 
hold and eventually works her
way up to working for the owner in an art gallery. She eventually owns the 
gallery during the war and meets
Hitler and then has to work with him to exist. It was a great book and I cannot 
remember the title or author.
Does anyone remember?

[ha-Safran] PPROGRAM ON THE 500TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE JEWISH GHETTO OF VENICE

[Shirazi, Gail]

LIBRARY OF CONGRESS PROGRAM-FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC
Law Library Program to Mark 500th Anniversary of the Jewish Ghetto of Venice
The Law Library of Congress, in collaboration with the Embassy of Italy and the 
Joseph and Rebecca Meyerhoff Center for Jewish Studies at the University of 
Maryland, will mark the 500th anniversary of the establishment of the Jewish 
Ghetto of Venice in 1516 with a program titled "La Città degli Ebrei/The City 
of the Jews: Segregated Space and the Admission of Strangers in the Jewish 
Ghetto of Venice."
The event will take place from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Tuesday, May 24 in Room 
LJ-119, located on the first floor of the Thomas Jefferson Building, 10 First 
St. S.E., Washington, D.C. The event is free and open to the public, but 
seating is limited. Tickets are not required.
The program will feature University of Maryland history professors Bernard 
Cooperman and Stefano Villani, whose presentations are titled "The Ghetto of 
Venice: Real-World Problems under Segregation," and "To Be a Foreigner in Early 
Modern Italy: Were There Ghettos for Non-Catholic Christians?"
Attendees may also view a display of rare books and documents related to the 
Jewish Ghetto of Venice, drawn from the Law Library, the Library of Congress 
Geography and Maps Division, its Rare Book and Special Collections Division, 
its European Division and the Hebraic Section of its African and Middle Eastern 
Division.
On March 29, 1516, the Venetian Republic required Jews in Venice to reside 
within a walled area within the city, separate from the surrounding Catholic 
population. The site chosen for this segregated area came to be known as the 
"Ghetto"- the first such walled enclosure in European history to be described 
by that word. The walled district was mostly inhabited by Jews who had once 
lived freely in Venice and Jews who had been expelled from Spain or had fled 
religious persecution in Portugal. The Jewish population of Venice was required 
to live within this walled district until the 18th century. Today, the Jewish 
Ghetto of Venice is remembered as an important Italian center of Jewish life 
and the site where many early Hebrew books were first printed, including the 
Hebrew Bible and the Babylonian Talmud.
Bernard Cooperman is the Louis L. Kaplan Professor of Jewish History at the 
University of Maryland, where he focuses on the development of communal 
institutions and political thought among Jews in early modern Italy. Cooperman 
co-authored the book "The Venetian Ghetto" (Rizzoli, 1990) and his recent 
publications include "Political Discourse in a Kabbalistic Register: Isaac De 
Lattes' Plea for Stronger Communal Government," published in "Be'erot Yitzhak, 
Isadore Twersky Memorial Volume" (Harvard University Press, 2004) and 
"Theorizing Jewish Self-Government in Early Modern Italy" in "Una Manna Buona 
per Mantova, Man Tov le-Man Tovah. Studi in onore di Vittore Colorni per il suo 
92° compleanno"(Florence: Olschki, 2004). Cooperman was a fellow of the 
Institute for Advanced Studies at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem and also 
served as director of the Meyerhoff Center for Jewish Studies at the University 
of Maryland from 1991 to 1997. He received his Ph.D. from Harvard University.
Stefano Villani is associate professor in Early Modern History at the 
University of Maryland with historical expertise in the cultural and religious 
English history of the 17th century and the Quaker missions in the 
Mediterranean. Villani has also authored many books, including "A True Account 
of the Great Tryals and Cruel Sufferings Undergone by Those Two Faithful 
Servants of God, Katherine Evans and Sarah Cheevers. La vicenda di due 
quacchere prigioniere dell'inquisizione di Malta" (2003) and "George Frederick 
Nott (1768 - 1841). Un ecclesiastico anglicano tra teologia, letteratura, arte, 
archeologia, bibliofilia e collezionismo" (2012). Villani completed a Ph.D. in 
History at the Scuola Normale Superiore of Pisa in 1999, with a thesis on the 
history of the relations between Britain and Italy during the Interregnum. He 
is now working on a research project about 17th-century English translations of 
Italian books.

[ha-Safran] Jerusalem Books Newsleter Yom ha-Atsma'ut 2016

[Jerusalem Books]

 

Dear Friends,

 

Let us begin with a brief summary of new and significant Hebrew Literature -
Israeli Literature. Eyal Meged has written 'Oshralia,'   published by Yediot
Hemed, 978-965-545-721-6  Cat. 87438 $25.00

A Woman Alone,' 'Isha le-vada,' by Ilana Hammerman has also been published
by Yediot - Ahuzat Bayit Sefarim, 978-965-556-045-9, Cat. 87434  $ 28.00 

 

Dalia Knohl Cohen, authored, 'Ma'avar Mandelbaum,' (Mandelbaum Gate), a
famous passage in Jerusalem between formerly divided East and West
Jerusalem. The book is a novel in a Jerusalem setting, late 1950's and
relations between Jackline and Gad who embody the struggles and fusion of
east and west,. The writer is a playright. Published by the respected
Carmel,  Cat 87243  $  33.00  

  

Tami Arad has written, 'Al Hut ha-Se'ara, 'Hanging By a Thread,' published
by Keter 978-965-07-2498-6, Cat.   $29.00 

 

Keter has published a work by Dror Burstein, entitled,'Tit,' Mud.' It is set
in modern Jerusalem and includes prophetic characters who predict
destruction. 978-965-07-2479-5, recommended for those interested in,
searching for, studying or collecting modern Hebrew Literature or Israeli
Belle Lettres. Cat.  87397  $ 

Before going on to the really important works of modern Jewish Philosophy,
classical Jewish Thought, I will mention a title which is poetry art and
photography. Not shying away from controversy we would like to note a book
of Hebrew Poetry and Photography: ' At Lo Noladet Isha,' You Weren't Born a
Woman,'  by Riki Cohen, Ed., Which includes art related to gender and
sexuality.   Cat 87193  $39.00

  


Dr. Ariel Picard has written another significant work of research, entitled,
Lirot et ha-kolot, Seeing the Voices, tradition, creativity and the freedom
of interpretation in Judaism. The work deals important issues and questions
such as the need and conflict associated with change in interpretation and
understanding of the Bible and Jewish Texts, (including Mishna, Talmud and
Midrash), over the generations and ages. 

 

The evolution of interpretation and Jewish Philosophy is examined through
among many, R'Yehuda Halevi, Ramban, Rambam through Hassidut, and the
encounter with modernity, Reform and secular society. The author manages to
take the reader through complex issues and conflicts over many periods
including the Crusades and with a Jewish Philosophical journey that extends
from the aforementioned to R' Yosef Dov Soloveichic, and  R' Kook. 

I was fascinated by the efforts and writings of Jewish Scholars like Naftali
Herz (Weisel) Wessely who simultaneously differentiated between the Torah of
Man, science and knowledge and civil conduct and the Torah of God which are
the laws and rituals which are divinely and prophetically inspired,
immutable and beyond the change of secular laws and states.

 

The dialog between the Text, the scholar/interpreter and the reader is a
central theme of the book and Jewish Study over time.  The book is published
by Miskal - Yediot Aharonot along with the Hartman Institute, isbn
978-965-545-904-3. Highly recommended.  Cat 87199  $28.00 

 

In the area of Jewish Thought and Philosophy we have previously mentioned: 

87046 Halamish Le-ma'ayano mayim, the Flint Into a Fountain of Waters,
Studies in Kabbala, Jewish Law, Custom and Philosophy submitted to Prof.
Moshe Hallamish, ed by Elqayam and Haviva Pedaya, published by Carmel,
978-965-540-567-5.  The editor is head of Jewish thought at Bar Ilan
University. Haviva Pedaya is a distinguished author and Professor at Ben
Gurion U.  Rational vs. Mystical Jewish Philosophy,  Scholarly, Must Have,,,
Cat 87046   $54.00 

In contrast or in emphasis, we should mention the new book by Haviva
Pedaya,'Kabala u Psykhoanalyza,Kabbalah and Psychoanalysis : An inner
journey following the Jewish Mysticism,  pub. Yediot Hemed, 965-482-509-2,
Cat.   86358  $34.00 

Happy Yom ha-Atsma'ut to everyone.

 

 

Wishing you a pleasant and productive Springtime from all of us at Jerusalem
Books Ltd

Sincerely,

Jeff Spitzer

Jerusalem Books Ltd
