[ha-Safran] Free online book: Sermons The Year 'Round by Rabbi Bernard L. Berzon

Sermons The Year 'Round
by Rabbi Bernard L. Berzon
http://www.jr.co.il/books/rberzon/index.html

I grew up in Brooklyn, New York. 
During my high school years and college years, 1972-1980,
I lived at home and attended the shul Ahavath Israel, 
on East 29 and Avenue K in Brooklyn. Rabbi Bernard L. Berzon 
was the rabbi of the shul for 43 years.

The sermons that Rabbi Berzon z"l gave where very good. 
He would talk to you as opposed to above you. His love for Israel 
and the Jewish people was very evident in the words he spoke. 
Over 37 years ago Rabbi Berzon gave my father z"l a copy of 
his book. Even though times have changed, since the book was 
published 38 years ago, the messages, anecdotes, and stories 
are still very enjoyable. I felt that many people that otherwise 
would not have access to this book may benefit by having access 
to it on the Internet. I contacted Jonathan David Publishers and 
they gave me permission to scan, format and post it on the Internet. 

Enjoy and please share. Thank You!

Have a good day,
Jacob

Hi,  I am a volunteer librarian at our JCC and do not know much about the
Weine Classification system.  I would appreciate it if someone would
explain to me why  it is preferable to the Dewey used by public libraries.
Thank you.

Re: [ha-Safran] library services for religious school

2016-06-29 Thread Andrea Rapp
I have reading incentive programs for grades 1-6.Sefer Safari for grades 1-3, 
which has been in effect here for at least 20 years, (i.e. began before my 
time..)programs for 4, 5, 6-- at least 2 of them borrowed from Rachel Kamin.5th 
graders do Reading Tic Tac Toe (different genres in each square of the tic tac 
toe board. Prizes are coupons to Graeter's Ice Cream); Sydney Taylor Club for 
6th graders (also from Rachel, I think), and my own "Eitz Fun to Read for 
Israel" for 4th grade, whose curriculum is Israel -- books read get leaves on 
class tree (eitz), plus monthly drawing for Target gift card, plus Sisterhood 
gives $5.00 per leaf; students who have leaves on the tree meet w/ me at year 
end and choose a tzedakah case in Israel to send the money.   More info on 
request.

In response to your question about the Weine classification system, visit 
http://nesiya.wikispaces.com/Classification+for+SSC+Libraries on the 
Association of Jewish Libraries website for some detailed information about 
different classification options selected by Judaic libraries.

Another great resource maintained by the Association of Jewish Libraries, 
prepared and managed by professional librarians.  The AJL wiki, Library 
Management Resource Wiki, is full of information about all aspects of operating 
a Jewish library!  http://nesiya.wikispaces.com/

Re: [ha-Safran] library services for religious school

2016-06-29 Thread Toby Harris
I see preschool through 5th grade classes on Sunday mornings in addition to 
monthly preschool storytimes.  I do read stories but also sometimes do more 
specific curriculum enhancing reading and discussions with students. I often 
pull books related to a specific topic they are studying as I have access to 
the curriculum and email scheduled teachers each week. Sometimes we have some 
"show and tell" with historical books, Talmud, a book with great photos, other 
synagogues, etc.   I also do book talking for 4th and 5th graders and try to 
"auction" off books.  I'm trying to encourage students to add their book 
reviews and ratings to the catalog; and a couple of teachers have reserved some 
class time to follow up and do that with students.  Some years, I have tried 
Jewish Book Month read-a-thons or reading "contests" but my limited hours 
prevent me from really promoting and doing a good job on that kind of 
programming.  We occasionally have a book author come and selected classes 
(grades) get to go. We are gearing up for more programming this year but I'm 
not yet sure how I will be able to manage adding that to my plate.  Wish I 
could see 6th and up, but there is no time in their crunched curriculum to add 
library.  I am often asking about the possibility of a book club elective.  
Also, I would love to have an online book discussion with middle schoolers - 
perhaps that is something to try during Jewish Book Month one year.

Yes, storytime and/or book talks accompany all our reading incentive programs.  
With tie-ins to curriculum, our school's "value of the month" or whatever else 
will work.  Without programming, there'd be almost no circulation these 
days.Andrea Rapp
