Re: [ha-Safran] Career changes in Pandemic times....
We, at the East Coast, have just turned on our computers to read Lisa’s email. I am sure that the leadership of the Sperber Jewish Community Library had a hard time making this decision. I had the good fortune and honor if working with Lisa when she was SSC president and I was her VP. I can write a whole Megilah of praise, but I will leave it for an article in the NEWS. The success of the last conference is, mostly, thanks to her hard work. (For example she brought us SOCIO), but her contribution to AJL and to the profession surpass many of the other dedicated AJL leaders. Thank you Lisa, for enriching my life ?

So the news is that I have been laid off from my position of library director of the Sperber Jewish Community Library and the position has been eliminated. The operation of the library and the new digital platform called California Jewish Library Consortium will be absorbed into the university's academic library. HOWEVERI am looking forward to beginning my new Library Consulting business! I am going to create a website where I will be posting classes, reviews, and Zoom book clubs and offering various services to synagogue libraries, JCC’s and other small libraries around the country, including guidance on how to move their collections to a digital platform. This is a perfect time for smaller libraries to begin to consider this type of move. My old email address is no longer active, so please change my contact info to this new email: lisa.silverman2...@outlook.com. I am still planning to be very involved on the AJL Council and will inform you when I have my website up and going. In the meantime, feel free to contact me with any ideas or suggestions.

Re: [ha-Safran] question on Universal Jewish Encyclopedia
Hi Ethan, I have a copy of the UJE and mine is complete. I'll email you the missing pages today. All the best,Haim Olney, Maryland.

Volume 9 includes a lengthy entry on "Soldier, Jew As" beginning on page 594. Unfortunately, the version I have includes a misprint, and is MISSING pages 633-634 of volume 9, which includes the very end of the entry for Soldiers, and presumably has a bibliography for the entry. Does anyone have a Volume 9 of the UJE that includes pages 633-634? Or did every edition include the same misprint? If anyone actually has those pages in their volume 9, I would love to get a copy.

[ha-Safran] translations
Hi friends, One of my daughters is a certified translator (English-Spanish Spanish-English) and a very good one! With all the pandemia and economic crisis, she's looking to expand her clientele, so if you know of someone needing translations, please spread the word! It would be a win-win situation as, because of the exchange rate, her fees will be considerably lower in USD than what you would normally pay in US :) Contact details: Melina Saccal, Registry 4891email melsaccal@hotmail.commobile +54 11 6905-5500 Many thanks!
