[ha-Safran] High schools in Israel
Hello I am seeking the wisdom of my fellow librarians and educators regarding boarding high school education in Israel for Americans I.e. English speaking. One that came up is the Eastern Mediterranean International School (EMIS). If you have any intelligence or personal experience with this school, can you contact me off list? Or if you have any other suggestions for boarding high schools at a reasonably high level I would be interested. Thanks very much!

[ha-Safran] Holocaust material
I was asked by our Hebrew High School Director for books for his group leader to read that would present an overview of the concentration camps and a general history of the Holocaust. She has some knowledge but since she will be leading a group of students in Europe, she wanted to be more prepared to answer questions. I have a fairly large collection of books for youth and adults on the Holocaust but I thought that I would consult our group as well.

[ha-Safran] Children book loans
Hi I manage two synagogue libraries and our policy has always been to encourage book borrowing for all ages be it the children themselves or the parents. It has been our experience that the vast majority of books come back. My priority has always been the more they borrow the better. We want to foster knowledge of Judaism and Israel and build Jewish identity and this is not a simple thing. We do not have any adult permission policy. We try and make it easy to borrow books even though a librarian is not always there. The borrower signs their name on a card and leaves the card on the desk. The library is open when the librarian is there and when meetings are held in the library as well as Shabbat.

[ha-Safran] Book program idea
Hello I would like to know if any of you have heard of or used the book and puppet package entitled "The Gelt Giving Golem" for your libraries or schools? Have you invited the author to your school or synagogue? It utilizes the character of the golem from Prague to reward good deeds during Hanukkah. I would appreciate any and all feedback.

[ha-Safran] Library program
Hello I sent a notice about an upcoming library program in Queens. I am a member if Hasafran (Arlene Ratzabi ) but the reply said from a non-member. I am using my cell phone so my personal email pops up. My work email is librar...@wjcenter.org. Can you please make sure my data is updated and the email put on the listserv? I am the librarian of two synagogues and that may be the reason for the confusion.

[ha-Safran] Library Program Announcement
The Long Island Chapter of AJL is pleased to announce an upcoming program on Thursday evening, December 11. AJL Member, Karen Ulric, was part of a very interesting session on Digital Citizenship at the recent AJL Convention in Las Vegas and the Long Island Chapter felt it would be worthwhile to have this program for those who were unable to attend the convention. The program will expand on what Karen presented at the AJL Convention. Please see the attached flyer for details.

[ha-Safran] Women of the Wall article posted
Hello: I think citing an article that clearly is highly political in nature on the library listserv is inappropriate. I read the article by Jungreiss and as a congregant of a synagogue in Queens, NY, led by a female rabbi who was detained by the police at the wall as she tried to pray recently, I think the article simply reflects one woman’s viewpoint (a very medieval one) and is not of value to librarians. How we practice our faith is a personal decision. I think articles like these need to be screened more carefully before they are put on the listserv. I was personally very offended. I expect more from the listserv than to relay politically motivated articles.
