[ha-Safran] Bar/Bat Mitzvah teen books

[Lisa Silverman]

Hi Safranim,
The Jewish Journal here in LA puts out a yearly supplement dealing with Bar/Bat 
Mitzvah celebrations and they included my article on five good bar mitzvah 
themed young adult books. Perhaps it is something that could be shared with 
teen coordinators at synagogues so they make sure they have these books in 
their libraries.

[Stahl, Nanette]

Most often the month a book is published in is not given.  You then put the 
year as 2014 or 2015.

Hi Galina,

It is impossible to tell b/c the word תפילה is not a month.  It translates to 
prayer.  And since the Hebrew calendar overlaps the English calendar, without a 
month we cannot tell into which year it falls.

Dear  Colleagues,

Would you suggest how to read designation:   תפילה תשע"ה

I haven’t found any month which corresponds to this, and yes, I looked at the 
Bible Calendar.
I need to know if it clarifies a year - 2015 or 2014.

Thanks in advance!

As a follow-up to Marcie's email reminding everyone to sign for the AJL 2016

Please note that Marty's Place, the kosher restaurant on the campus of the 
College of Charleston, will be closed when we are in town (June 19th-22nd,

If you want a kosher meal for Monday dinner (our free evening - before the 
movie), please let us know.  Thanks a lot!!

Looking forward,
Six short weeks and we shall meet in beautiful Charleston SC

Best regards,

[ha-Safran] Weeding library, and wondering if there's anything you need?

[Ann Abrams]

Dear safranim,

I'm doing a lot of weeding, and will be having a big used book sale in
early June.* When the date is finalized, I'll let you know about it, in
case you'd like to stop by.

The list of what I've weeded is too long to send you, and is constantly
changing.   But, if there are particular areas/authors/titles that you
need/want, and can send me a VERY ORGANIZED list (did I emphasize the
organized part enough?), then I can try to put aside items for your
libraries. For example, if you have a title list, send it alphabetically by
author;   if you have a subject list, be very clear about what you want.

As always, for libraries, schools, teachers, students,  librarians for your
personal use (not for re-sale), and other non-profit institutions I'm happy
to send you these things for no charge, and will ask just for postage
reimbursement.


AJL BOOKSELLERS:   I'm happy to receive your requests, as well, and we can
talk about prices as things come up.

No phone calls, please -- I do best with email.


*Please don't be alarmed by this email!  I am simply fast-tracking the
weeding I should have done every summer for the last 25 + years so that we
can have a leaner and meaner collection; and, so that we can have more
space for more library visitors to read and learn.

Todah!

Ann
