Hi everyone!

 

I hope all is well.

 

Does anyone know where to begin looking for family believed to be in
Argentina? We have some basic information - is there a community anyone
knows of for this, can we send the information out through this list in case
anyone may know something?

 

Thank you,

Re: [ha-Safran] Looking for books for HS students- both literary and kosher

I subscribe to some emails from Torah.org and just received one that has
this in one of them was this message,

 

This is a plug for the fantasy novel my son published a year ago, The Ring
of Fate. It is an exciting, can't put down read, and has received very
positive feedback since its publication. It is also completely kosher in
both subject matter and language. It is available as both paperback and
ebook. It is sold by Booklocker.com (http://booklocker.com/books/6519.html),
as well as by Amazon
(http://www.amazon.com/The-Ring-Fate-Zvi-Rosenfeld/dp/1621418561/) and all
the major on-line sellers. 

Thank you in advance!

I'm trying to put together a list of books appropriate for high school
students that are both literary (meaning suitable for a book discussion
group) and kosher enough for yeshiva students. The Jewish novels I am
familiar with are not very literary and the secular YA literature is rarely
kosher enough. Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks,

[ha-Safran] Genocide, Holocaust, and WWII

2013-10-18 Thread Becky Schastey
Hi everyone,

 

This came out about 2-3 days ago and is already building some nice momentum.
Pennsylvania is going to vote on Monday whether to include the Holocaust in
school curriculum. In the meanwhile, 94 Maidens author, Rhonda Fink-Whitman
put together this video in which she interviews PA public school graduates
at different colleges to see what they know about genocide, the Holocaust,
and WWII in general. It's pretty powerful so we thought it would pass it
along.
