[ha-Safran] seeking tiktok tutor

[Sheryl Stahl via Hasafran]

Hi all,

I am venturing into the world of tiktok and booktok. I've produce a few videos 
(do you call them videos? or tiktoks? or toks?) and would love some feedback, 
hints on best practices, and ways to produce them other than Powerpoint  
(unless that's the best way)

check them out here

[ha-Safran] AJL Announces Holiday Highlights Titles for Fall 2022

[AJL PR via Hasafran]

The Association of Jewish Libraries is pleased to announce that nine titles 
have been selected for its seasonal AJL Holiday Highlights list, celebrating 
Shabbat, Rosh Hashanah, Sukkot, and Hanukkah, as well as a story that honors 
the full year of Jewish holidays. In addition, this is the first Holiday 
Highlights list to include a book for young adults. These titles are AJL’s 
picks for the best Jewish holiday children’s and teen books of Fall 2022.

Titles that are selected as Holiday Highlights exemplify the highest standards 
of authentic Jewish representation and holiday spirit in both writing and 
illustration. A committee of expert judges recommends these books for use by 
families, in schools, and in libraries. AJL hopes that the publishing world 
will look to the quality of these examples when creating new children’s books 
about Jewish holidays.

Holiday Highlights titles are named twice a year, for the spring and fall 
publishing seasons. Submissions are being accepted now for the Spring 2023 
list. Please email holidayhighlig...@jewishlibraries.org 
 to send digital review copies or 
to request instructions for sending print review copies.

An annotated list of the Fall 2022 AJL Holiday Highlights can be found HERE 
.

For a celebration of Jewish holidays year round, the committee recognizes 
Apples, Apples, All Year Round: A Celebration of Jewish Holidays by Barbara 
Bietz and June Sobel, illustrated by Ruth Waters, published by Apples & Honey 
Press.

The committee has selected two picture books about Shabbat: A Synagogue Just 
Like Home by Alice Blumenthal McGinty, illustrated by Laurel Molk; and Shoshi’s 
Shabbat by Caryn Yacowitz, illustrated by Kevin Hawkes, both published by 
Candlewick Press. 

Two picture books about Rosh Hashanah were named to the list: Miriam and the 
Sasquatch by Eric A. Kimmel, illustrated by Tamara Anegon, published by Apples 
& Honey Press; and Measuring a Year: A Rosh Hashanah Story by Linda Elovitz 
Marshall, illustrated by Zara González Hoang, published by Abrams Books.

Two picture books celebrating Sukkot were listed as well: The Stars Will Be My 
Nightlight: A Sukkot Story by Jen Halpern, illustrated by Chiara Fedele, 
published by Kar-Ben Publishing; and The Very Best Sukkah: A Story from Uganda 
by Shoshana Nambi, illustrated by Moran Yogev, published by Kalaniot Books.

In celebration of Hanukkah, the committee listed one picture book and one young 
adult novel: Hanukkah in Little Havana by Julie Anna Blank, illustrated by 
Carlos Vélez Aguilera, published by Kar-Ben Publishing; and Eight Nights of 
Flirting by Hannah Reynolds, published by Razorbill.

AJL’s Holiday Highlights judges are experts in their field:

Robbin Friedman is the head of children’s services at the Chappaqua Library in 
Chappaqua, NY. She has served on ALSC’s Newbery committee, written for School 
Library Journal, The Horn Book and Guessing Geisel, and taught Hebrew school 
once upon a time.

Amy Lilien-Harper is the head of the children's library at the Wilton Library 
Association in Wilton, Connecticut.  She has been a professional children's 
librarian since 1995. She has served on the Newbery committee, the Caldecott 
committee and the ALA Notable children’s recordings committees. She reviews 
picture books for School Library Journal, and has served four times on the 
Nutmeg Committee, which chooses books for the Connecticut Children’s choice 
awards. 

Sylvie Shaffer is the PreK-8 librarian at the Capitol Hill Day School in 
Washington, DC and is active in several overlapping kidlit-focused communities 
including ALSC, YALSA, and Capitol Choices. Sylvie served on AJL’s 2019 and 
2020 Sydney Taylor Book Awards as well as on ALSC’s 2018 Geisel Committee.
