Re: [ha-Safran] Fwd: LJ Day of Dialog Is Tomorrow!

[Roberta Gerson via Hasafran]

Emily,

According to the email you sent us, it says: "All sessions will be
available for viewing on-demand within +\- an hour of their initial
broadcast, and will be available for three months thereafter." So, for
those of us who couldn't make it, I assume we can view them at a later time.

Thanks for letting us know nonetheless. I look forward to viewing the
sessions.

[ha-Safran] JTS Library Awarded "Recordings at Risk" Grant

[Naomi Steinberger via Hasafran]

JTS Library Awarded “Recordings at Risk” Grant from the Council on Library and 
Information Resources

The Library of The Jewish Theological Seminary (JTS) has been selected to 
receive a Recordings at Risk grant from the Council on Library and Information 
Resources (CLIR). This project is made possible by funding from The Andrew W. 
Mellon Foundation. This generous grant will support “Disappearing Jewish 
Cultures and Traditions of the Non-Western World: Digitizing Film Footage and 
Audio Recordings from the Johanna L. Spector Papers and Audio-Visual Materials 
– Phase II.”

This unique collection documents the nearly extinct musical and communal 
traditions of several non-Western Jewish cultures in India, Yemen, Azerbaijan, 
Egypt, Armenia, and elsewhere in the Middle East. Recorded between 1960 and 
1989 during the making of Spector’s ethnographic documentaries, the materials 
are an unused treasure trove that sheds light on the religious ceremonies and 
traditions of people before dispersal from their native lands, such as the 
Cochin Jews of India, Yemenite Jews, and the nearly extinct Samaritans of 
Israel.

JTS was one of 17 institutions to receive this award. The grant provides 
funding to digitize this special collection using state-of-the-art technologies 
at The MediaPreserve, a trusted organization that provides audiovisual 
preservation. The JTS Library previously received a grant in 2018 from CLIR for 
Phase I of digitization of the Spector film archival collection, which involved 
digitizing filmed dailies, workprints, and recorded audio content. The public 
can watch the films and listen to recordings from the collection 
online.

Naomi Steinberger, JTS project director, says “We’re so grateful for this 
generous award from CLIR. We know that the footage will help build 
understanding of worldwide Jewish traditions and cultures and has already 
contributed to new scholarship in ethnography, ethnomusicology, history, and 
anthropology.”

The JTS Library houses the greatest collection of Judaica outside Israel, 
including nearly 11,000 Hebrew manuscripts; 43,000 fragments from the Cairo 
Genizah; 30,000 rare books, including the world’s largest collection of Hebrew 
incunabula; and more than 400 archival collections comprising 8,000 linear 
feet. Its vast collections are broadly viewed via expanding digital portals, 
revolving on-site exhibitions and rare-book presentations, and through loan 
programs to outstanding museums around the world.

[ha-Safran] Classification question

[Maxine Wolfson via Hasafran]

Does anyone have the following book in their library, and how do you assign
it?  I'm using Elezar, and am not sure if it belongs in history, biography,
or somewhere else:

Stephen S. Wise
Servant of the People
Selected Letters
Ed. Carl. H. Voss

Thank you for any help you can provide.

Roberta,

I think if you sign up, you can watch all of the sessions for the 3
months.  I had meetings, so I wasn't able to see all the ones I wanted to
watch.

[ha-Safran] May 13 roundtable: "Digitization basics for small synagogue and community archives"

[Amalia S. Levi via Hasafran]

Please join us on *Thursday, May 13, 2021, 12:30 pm EST/5:30 pm London/7:30
pm Israel*, for the roundtable:

*Digitization basics for small synagogue and community archives*
Moderator:* Amalia S. Levi, RAS Division President*

Would you like to digitize your collections to provide online access, use
them for engaging the public, or as a preservation means to avoid ‘tear and
wear’ of the originals? Are you a small organization and would like to
learn a bit more about funding, equipment, staffing and standards? This
roundtable is meant as a ‘light’ introduction to many aspects of
digitization that might seem daunting, and will allow plenty of time for
discussion.

This members-only event is presented by the RAS and SSCPL Divisions. Please
find information on how to register in your emails.

Sincerely,
Amalia S. Levi

Film Event: The Last Cyclist

The Last 
Cyclist is a scathing satire, originally written in Terezín, in which bicycle riders 
are blamed for all of society’s ills and systematically hunted down and 
murdered. The play was banned because the Jewish Council of Elders feared that 
the allegorical sendup of the Nazis was too dangerous. Nearly lost to time, The 
Last Cyclist was painstakingly reconstructed, first as a play and more recently 
as a film, earning several awards at 2020 festivals. Conference attendees will 
receive a link and promo code to stream the film from home in advance of the

Does anyone have information or a write up on how to create a Jewish
