[ha-Safran] Fwd: Seeking titles of Controversial Books on Arab-Israeli Conflict

[Clare Kinberg via Hasafran]

Dear Marjorie Gann,

I appreciate your close look at books for young readers about Israel and
the Palestinian people, and your invitation to comment.

In my work as librarian at Temple Beth Emeth in Ann Arbor, I have curated a
collection of books for young Jewish people that includes diverse
Palestinian points of view and I am pleased that our library offers diverse
points of view from Jewish, Israeli, and Palestinian writers that help our
young people become critical thinkers. My library includes, several books
on your list:

The Cat at the Wall (2014)

Naomi Shihab Nye:  Habibi (1997)

Golbarg Bashi: P Is for Palestine: A Palestine Alphabet Book (2018)

Leanne Lieberman, The Book of Trees (2010)

Pamela L. Laskin, Ronit & Jamil (2017)

I was surprised that you called several titles "distortions of history or
complicit in stereotyping or demonizing," specifically Tasting the Sky
(which is on my to order list), Habibi, and Ronit and Jamil. I would
appreciate seeing a list of titles from a Palestinian point of view that
you would recommend.

I'll never forget a lecture I attended by Marc Tessler, author of the
massive *A History of the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict*, when he told the
story of a several year convening of Jewish and Palestinian historians in
which the participants never came to agreement on the facts.

Last year I taught our high schoolers a class on looking at points of view
in Jewish and Palestinian children's books on Israel/Palestine. The class
was wiser than me at the time. They pointed out that readers should not
expect books to be "fair" and "balanced," particularly when involving
difficult issues. Rather, readers should expect and be aware of bias.

I hope you understand that I am not saying the Jewish narrative we are
familiar with is false, but it leaves out the Palestinian experience. A
book including a Palestinian child whose only experience of Jews is as
fully armed soldiers may be a true reflection of a Palestinian child's
experience. It's our crucial (and even sacred) responsibility as educators
to fill out the picture, but suppressing pieces of it that are truthful
within their own sphere doesn't help children who need to deal with a
complex world when they grow up.

I also have had the experience of being asked by a public school teacher
who had assigned A LITTLE PIECE OF GROUND, to teach a class on the book.
That was a very challenging experience, as I was tempted to try to give a
lecture on the whole Israeli/Palestinian conflict.

I am very interested in hearing from others about experiences applying the
values of critical reading of these books in the public school setting.

L'shalom,

Clare Kinberg, Temple Beth Emeth Library, Ann Arbor, Michigan

[ha-Safran] Jewish children's books on democracy and voting

[Clare Kinberg via Hasafran]

Hi Jewish librarians,

I just received a query that I'm hoping you can help me with. I am putting
together a list of books based on this query from a patron:
"I'm reaching out to see if you have any suggestions about books or other
media about Jewish people and voting - why we vote, history of Jews engaged
in voting advocacy, whatever else."

Thank you,

Re: [ha-Safran] question about popular adult book _A Woman is No Man_ (prompted by middle grade book postings)

[Clare Kinberg via Hasafran]

Jonina, et all,
I haven't read Etaf Rum's book, but your query raises a similar response
from me as the question regarding middle school books on Israel/Palestine,
which is that the subjective experience of Jews and Palestinians in the
region over the  past 100 years has been so different as to be nearly
incomprehensible and unbearable to the other. I hope you will change your
mind and finish reading Etaf Rum's book.
I couldn't have understood, nor born, the sentence that stopped you cold
"Israel's invasion of Palestine" without having read two things that I hope
others among us will read. One is
My Happiness Bears No Relation to Happiness: A Poet's Life in the
Palestinian Century by Adina Hoffman, a biography of the poet Taha Muhammad
Ali who was 16 and living in Saffuriya a village in the Nazareth area in
1948. One thread of the book is Hoffman's investigation of Taha's claim
that the IDF dropped bombs hear his village in July 1948, resulting in the
villagers fleeing. Taha claimed to have seen the planes dropping the bombs.
This account of planes dropping bombs in the area was widely spoken and
believed by Palestinians, but in no accounts of the war, and vociferously
denied by all Israelis, even soldiers who were there. However, Hoffman went
into the archives of recently (recent to 2009) declassified IDF documents
that detail the 91 bombing sorties of 3 crop-dusters in early July,
military descriptions of exactly what Palestinians had recorded in oral
histories.

The second piece I think is indispensable reading to a Jewish understanding
of Etaf Rum's statement is something I only recently found in our Temple
library in the book Great Jewish Speeches. It is the March 1946 address by
Martin Buber and Judah Magnes arguing for a binational state. After reading
this speech several times, my perspective changed, though it was well-known
that if Palestine was divided and if the Jews declared a state there would
be war, some of our best minds and spiritual leaders were desperately
advocating for something else. This is well known. But what I felt changed
for me, was that I could see how, from a Palestinian perspective, the
declaration of the State of Israel was the initiation of the war, rather
than the invasion by the Arab states.

I look forward to reading Rum's book, and hearing other Jewish opinions of
it.

[ha-Safran] Picture books to help parents talk about anti-Semitism with their children

[Clare Kinberg via Hasafran]

Hi everyone,
Thank you for the suggestions that came in.
Based on the "Jewish Values Finder," Amazon search, my own brainstorming,
and combing through our library holdings, I came up with the following 15
books to offer to our rabbi to think about for his presentation to parents.
He specifically wanted included books not directly about anti-Semitism, but
which could lead to the discussion with children. I'll let you know the
feedback I get. All of the books below are in our Temple library.

[ha-Safran] minutes from meetings of the Cleveland Jewish Orphan Asylum, early 20th cnetury

[Clare Kinberg via Hasafran]

Hi all,
When I was in school (Wayne State U) for my MLIS  (2008-2011), I came
across a resource that had the minutes from the Cleveland Jewish Orphan
Asylum. I found a note in the minutes that referred to my great aunt, Mary
Kinberg. She was born in 1897, her mother died in childbirth and she was
placed in the Cleveland Jewish Orphan Asylum and was released from the home
when she was about 10 to her father who had remarried (according to the
note I found in the minutes of a meeting). I cannot seem to find this
resource anymore. By this resource, I mean the transcription of the minutes
of the meetings of the Cleveland Jewish Orphan Asylum. Perhaps they were in
something I only had access to while I was in school. Any ideas?

[ha-Safran] New haggadah for families with young kids

[Clare Kinberg via Hasafran]

Hi all,

I'm writing to recommend a new book by an author local to me in Ann Arbor.
I think it is beautiful and quite well done.
In *Haggadah Regatta*, two kids and a crew of shoes sail the Haggadah
Regatta under a Matzah Ball Moon. Everyone on the little matzah raft gets
into the act in this playful Passover Haggadah. The seder will engage even
the youngest members of the tribe. There are goat tracks to follow and wine
drops to plink. The read-aloud gathers steam as the crew asks
again-and-again, “Who is?” Readers take turns, telling “how” and “why”. A
Phonetics User Guide helps say the words in Hebrew.

rabbi. He is using the Israel-Palestine for Critical Thinkers video series.
http://www.forcriticalthinkers.com/the-videos. I had sat in on their first
two sessions, so I knew that many of the students were knowledgeable, and
had been actively learning and asking questions for the last month. I had
experienced their questions as coming from a fair amount of holely
knowledge, which is why the rabbi wanted to teach this class. In our neck
of the woods here in Michigan, all of our students go to school with
Palestinians and other Muslims and Christians from the Middle East. They
are well aware of differing perspectives on the conflict.
For my session with them I divided the class of 6 students into 3 pairs.
Each pair read one of the articles I mentioned, including yours, and
reported to the whole group what they got out of it. We had a discussion
about balance and fairness. I then gave each pair 3 or 4 books, they each
looked at them by themselves, trading back and forth with their pair
partner, then had a brief discussion with their partner to see if they came
up with the same or different observations.  They then reported to the
whole group, but just on two titles. it was definitely not a thorough
examination, but they each came up with interesting observations about each
book. Mainly they got the message that they can critically look at books
for perspective, balance, fairness, etc, and that point of view when
writing about the Israeli Palestinian conflict is very important to
recognize.

Re: [ha-Safran] Books on the Israel-Palestinian conflict

"Balanced" books may be hard to find, but books from different perspectives
that invite discussion are available. Here's a beginning list:

[ha-Safran] Entire library of Jewish children's books in very good condition

[Clare Kinberg via Hasafran]

Hi Hasafran,

Recently a Reform congregation closed and donated to my library at Temple
Beth Emeth in Ann Arbor over 200 Jewish children's books. I've been going
through them and it is an excellent, up to date collection. My library is
also excellent and up to date. I could keep these books, but most of them
would be 2nd or 3rd copies for us. Is there anyone out there that needs an
instant Jewish children's library?
Write me offlist at ckinb...@gmail.com.

[ha-Safran] Nathan Zach's poem which begins “Everyone lives in a world they create”

[Clare Kinberg]

Friends,

I have a patron who would like a copy of the Nathan Zach poem which begins
“Everyone lives in a world they create”.

It is in : Nathan Zach,  The Complete Poems, Hakibbutz Hameuchad, 2008 (Kol
Ha-Shirim Ve-Shirim Hadashim).

I cannot locate a copy of this book. I also wonder if the poem could be in
another of his poetry collections.

I would be so  grateful if any who has Nathan Zach in their collections
could check, and possibly scan the poem.

Thank you,

Re: [ha-Safran] Hanukkah books for young children

[Clare Kinberg]

My favorite is Pini the Pitcher [image: Inline image 1]

There is also the Ziz and the Hanukkah Miracle. A bit long for 2 year

Also Hanukkah Cat by Chaya Burstein...also long, but tells the story in a

Re: [ha-Safran] question- thanks-Agnon story

[Clare Kinberg]

I was building my graphic novel section last year and came across a new
collection of Agnon stories that had been turned into graphic stories. I
like the book a lot:
>From Foe to Friends & Other Stories: A Graphic Novel by Shay Charka ,by
S.Y. Agnon (Author)

It has the goat story you are looking for.

 Hello Friends,



 I have been asked to assist a teacher of multicultural literacy at a local
 college by reading to her students two versions of the same children’s
 story, one Jewish and one something else.  I have been looking through my
 sources, but am having trouble finding something, so I am turning to you.
 Does anyone have any suggestions?  Any help will be greatly appreciated.



 Thank you,

Re: [ha-Safran] FW: ALA resolution boycotting companies working with IDF

[Clare Kinberg]

I should make clear I think AJL should oppose the boycott resolution, just
not on the grounds that it denies Israel's right to exist. Personally, I
oppose this resolution because this kind of thing makes us Jews circle the
wagons, which in turn prolongs the untenable situation. Israel should NOT
be singled out for crimes committed by so many other much more brutal
regimes. The resolution can be opposed on those grounds. But we Jews need
to become much more resolute to end the occupation.

 Elliot   Shoshana, and any other AJL member who has a voice in ALA  – is
 it too late to submit an AJL sponsored statement to ALA’s Council? How does
 one do it? I can write a short one but I need to know which ALA body has
 the authority to publish it.

 This is not new(s) and I suggest we highlight the hypocrisy of signaling
 out of Israel as opposed to countries and terrorist organizations who
 commit genocide  war crimes (Nigeria, Hamas, Sudan, etc.), and using
 anti-Zionism and anti-Semitism to politicize a professional organization.
 We should also mention that scheduling such meetings on the Sabbath is
 offensive to Jewish members of ALA and is a de-facto act of censorship.

 AJL membership is a rainbow of political convictions vis-à-vis Israel
 (Thank God!), but I am sure we can all agree that Israel’s right to exist
 is not debatable, and that the work of our colleagues in Israel promotes
 coexistence and peace and shouldn’t be reviled and railroaded by ALA.

 Dear Yaffa,



 I have received you mail from Elhanan Adler, who proposed that you might
 assist.



 It was brought to our attention that in the coming ALA (winter) the
 attached resolution would be adopted by ALA council.



 1.   Are you aware of this initiative? I found no mentioning of such
 resolution, and I don't know if this is a real thing or not.



 2.   Does ALA take such resolution and if so in what forum?



 3.   If so, how can we help prevent such resolution? Who can help?
 What is required?



 4.Can AJL assist in such effort?





 Thank you in advance,

Re: [ha-Safran] biography of Holocaust survivor appropriate for 11th grader

[Clare Kinberg]

 I Remember Nothing More: The Warsaw Children's Hospital and the Jewish
Resistance
by
Adina Blady Szwajger (Author)

YA-- For 40 years, Szwajger was haunted by her experiences as a young
pediatrician and a courier for the Jewish Fighting Organization (ZOB)
during the German occupation of Poland. This fragmented account of that
time is wrenched from the memory of a remarkable woman who is at last
compelled to tell her story. In the children's hospital, the author's
duties were to care for dying children who had no food, no medicine, and no
future. Later, as a member of ZOB, she risked her life traveling back and
forth from the ghetto to the Aryan side to secure papers and money to
allow other Jews to escape through the sewers of Warsaw. Szwajger's
tortured recollections are filled with the ironic horror that her very
training as a doctor and compassion as a human being resulted in the most
painful deed of all: mercy killing. I Remember is a unique contribution to
Holocaust literature and an important primary source for students.

 The named in brackets is part of the way the Bechdel test is written and
 I'm fine with the women being unnamed, since many Jewish stories have
 nameless characters anyways.

 I've run Google searches, looked at a Chassidic story website (probably
 not the best place to look), and looked through stories in 6 anthologies I

 I've had no luck so far.

 Can anyone on the list point me in the right direction /or suggest a

[ha-Safran] LibraryThing for Synagogue/School libraries

[Clare Kinberg]

I'm investigating using LibraryThing for our ~2000 book synagogue library.
I would appreciate hearing offlist from anyone using LibraryThing for this
kind of library.

Thank you.

[ha-Safran] SCC use of blogs

[Clare Kinberg]

HI all,

I'm wondering if any Jewish school, congregation or community center
libraries use blogs. Any successes or failures to report? If you do, can
you send me links so I can see how you use the blog?

Thanks,

 I found two lists in the bibliography bank from 2006, but I was wondering
 if anyone had any suggestions for books that came out in the last 5 years.
  The books will be for a shul (not the one I work at) that is Conservative
 with a very Jewishly committed and learned membership.

 Thank you for your help.
