[ha-Safran] Educational and Fun Resources for Tu B'Shvat

[Jacob Richman via Hasafran]

Hi Everyone!

Tu B'Shvat, the New Year for Trees, falls on the 15th of the
Hebrew month of Shvat, January 25 this year - 5784/ 2024.
This Jewish mini-holiday is of major importance to our
appreciation of nature and our relationship to it.
It is customary to plant trees and partake of the fruits of
the land of Israel to mark the occasion. 
Many people in Israel and all over the world will participate in 
eating fruits at a Tu B'shvat Seder.

The Jewish Trivia Quiz: Tu B'Shvat
jewish-trivia.com

Which fruit is used to make wine ?
When did Kabbalists originate the Tu B'shvat Seder ?
How many glasses of wine are drunk at the Tu B'Shvat seder ?
What branch of a tree did the dove bring back after the flood ?
How many days does the Hebrew month of Shvat have ?
What is associated with both Chanukah and Tu B'Shvat ?
In Israel, what happens to trees starting on the 15th of Shvat ?
Since 1901, how many trees has the Jewish National Fund
planted in Israel ?
According to the Torah, which fruits did the spies bring to the
children of Israel in the wilderness ?

The above questions are examples from the multiple choice
quiz. There are two levels of questions, two timer settings.
Both kids and adults will find it enjoyable.

Re: [ha-Safran] Nazi looted books survey

[Mizrachi, Diane via Hasafran]

Dear Colleagues,

This is a reminder to please complete this survey of any projects regarding 
Nazi-looted or related books at your institution if you have not done so 
already.

https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://tinyurl.com/nazilootedbooks__;!!KGKeukY!x1UHUdKoXc0PV9O1mlVjWDAwFUsSpGNMcir2t5D11qefcWWjj8U0bEO6GXNQ-t9PtFnDb1mvbJAIXxNQVIDLbLpPua7e$
 

For background information about this survey:

It has become apparent that librarians at several academic and institutional 
libraries, and some working with private collections, are simultaneously 
working on projects to identify in their collections and curate books looted by 
Nazis or otherwise stolen from Jews and Jewish organizations during the Nazi 
period. Some were purchased in good faith from books sellers after World War II 
and may need to be repatriated; others were acquired from the Jewish Cultural 
Reconstruction program (JCR), or as part of cultural exchange programs with the 
Nazi regime in the 1930s. AJL has created a task force to pool our experiences 
and create useful sources with regard to these efforts.

If you or your institution have had any experience with Nazi era looted books 
whether programmatically or randomly, please help us by completing this short 
survey. The results will be included in an internal report to AJL.

Thank you and may we all hear good news soon.

Best regards,
Diane
