Re: [ha-Safran] Book about Judaism in Arabic

2012-02-21 Thread Jonathan Fishburn
I have seen an Arabic translation of A Cohen's  - Everymans Talmud - I don't 
know who published it. I have also seen a translation of Rabbi J H Hertz  - 
Book of Jewish Thoughts I think this was done in Cairo in the 1930s

A friend is looking for a book for one of her Saudi ESL students.  “He would 
like to find a book about Judaism written in Arabic so that he could learn 
about it”.
If anyone has any suggestions I would appreciate hearing from you.
Thanks in advance.

Re: [ha-Safran] Talmud for kids

Dear Rachel

There is actually a cartoon Mishnah - will try to find details. In Hebrew there 
is Daf Yomi (daily page of Talmud) Leyaladim published by Yediot Achronot (they 
have done about 6 
vols) talk
 Also Joseph Halpern (from London) wrote a history of the Jews in Rabbinic

Subject: [ha-Safran] Talmud for kids
 
Dear Hasafranim,
 
We had Maggie Anton as a speaker here a few months ago and as part of the 
event, I had students 4th grade and up read Rashi's Daughter, Secret Scholar. 
That piqued the interest of a very precocious, highly intelligent 10 year old 
girl who wondered if there were any introductory books on talmud and mishnah 
for her age or above. Of course we have introductions, but they're all for 
adults. For kids, I have books on midrash and biographies on the sages, but 
that's not what she's looking for. 
 
I've searched the web and I can't quite decide what would work. (For instance, 
there's Grishaver's You Be the Judge and Feinstein's Jewish Law Review, but I 
wonder if they are too specific.) Any suggestions?

I need your help in looking for a book which may not exist.

A friend has a great deal of expertise on China and a solid knowledge of 
Judaism. This person apparently does not know about the intersect between these 
two.

The book for which I am looking would have a title along the lines of THE JEWS 
OF CHINA.

Can you recommend such a book?

months ago when I cleaned up my office and I had a draft email ready to go with 
the following points (see below); Arthur Kiron had similar thoughts. It will be 
nice to have a few articles on Jewish bookstores in Judaica Librarianship (one 
essay will be published in JL 19), but a digital archive that all of us can 
contribute to will make a beautiful collaborative project that may also evolve 
into a grant proposal on behalf of AJL to include Jewish publishing houses.

We have a small archive of booksellers' correspondence from the 30s-50s 
(https://clio.columbia.edu/catalog/10723259 - it was literally processed this 
spring, so I have an inventory list), and it's something I'm very interested in

months ago when I cleaned up my office and I had a draft email ready to go with 
the following points (see below); Arthur Kiron had similar thoughts. It will be 
nice to have a few articles on Jewish bookstores in Judaica Librarianship (one 
essay will be published in JL 19), but a digital archive that all of us can 
contribute to will make a beautiful collaborative project that may also evolve 
into a grant proposal on behalf of AJL to include Jewish publishing houses.

[ha-Safran] Ilana Tahan - BDE

2024-07-10 Thread Jonathan Fishburn via Hasafran
Hi 
I just wanted to let people on Hasafran know if they haven't already heard that 
sadly  Ilana Tahan has passed away. She did attend and present at, at least one 
AJL conference and must have been known to many members of the AJL
This is from the British Library

I’m writing to pass on some very sad news about our lead curator for Hebrew and 
Christian Orient collections, Ilana Tahan, who passed away peacefully last 
Saturday.

 

Ilana Tahan joined the British Library as the Curator of Hebrew Collections in 
1989. She soon began to collaborate with colleagues across the UK on organizing 
and systematizing Hebrew librarianship and curation. In 2004, the British 
Library published her book Memorial volumes to Jewish communities destroyed in 
the Holocaust : a bibliography of British Library holdings. Ilana was part of 
the curatorial team behind the Library's flagship exhibition Sacred in 2007. In 
2008, she published her guide to the British Library's Hebrew collection, 
Hebrew Manuscripts: The Power of Word and Image. In 2009, she was awarded the 
Order of the British Empire for her scholarship and work in making the 
collection more accessible. 

 

Ilana became the Lead Curator for Hebrew and Christian Orient Collections in 
2012, overseeing the Library's holdings of Armenian, Coptic, Ethiopian, Hebrew, 
Jewish language, and Syriac manuscripts and printed books. In this role, she 
was exceptionally active in reaching out to communities and scholars. She 
published many articles and chapters on the Hebrew collections and undertook 
dozens of public workshops and presentations to bring the manuscripts closer to 
audiences. Her work on the Samaritan manuscripts in particular prompted the 
Samaritan Community to award her the Samaritan Medal in 2020. 

 

Funded by the Polonsky Foundation and many others (including Rothschild 
Foundation Hanadiv Europe), Ilana led the Catalogue of Hebrew manuscripts 
digitisation project between 2013 and 2016, with a second phase, in partnership 
with the National Library of Israel following on, resulting in the entirety of 
the BL’s Hebrew manuscripts collection being made freely available online to 
all, with a curated site further opening up the collection for non-specialists. 
More recently, Ilana curated the very successful exhibition Hebrew Manuscripts 
– Journey of the Written Word. She worked tirelessly on this project, 
collaborating with several colleagues at the Library and keeping a close 
dialogue with academics and key religious figures in the Jewish community. Due 
to the pandemic, the exhibition was open in St Pancras only for a very short 
period of time, but Ilana was able to find alternative ways to promote the 
items in the exhibition. She contributed to the development of a virtual tour 
of the display, which now stands out as a wonderful legacy of her work on the 
project, and promoted the exhibition online through high profile events, public 
lectures and private views.  

 

Throughout her career Ilana was fully committed to her work at the Library and 
passionate about promoting the Hebrew collections to specialists and the wider 
audience through social media channels. She regularly posted blogs on the Asian 
and African Studies blog, and offered an engaging series of threads on the AAS 
and Hebrew Manuscripts Twitter/X accounts. 

 

Ilana leaves behind her husband, son, daughter, and two grandchildren.

Best regards
Jonathan

[ha-Safran] Under My Hat

2019-12-04 Thread Jonathan Fishburn via Hasafran
New Book – Under My Hat by Sally Berkovic chronicles the challenges of raising 
daughters while straddling the tensions between an Orthodox religious life and 
the competing forces of secularism. First published in 1997, Under My Hat 
presciently raised issues that have since dominated the Orthodox world. This 
new edition is augmented by an extensive introduction delving into the impact 
of more than 20 years of evolutionary change. Sally  insights and analysis 
demonstrate how women's scholarship and mastery of Talmudic texts, the 
burgeoning movement of Orthodox women clergy, enhanced ritual participation, 
women's political and communal leadership and the pushback against the 'modesty 
wars' are shaping an Orthodox community that is struggling to be 'fit for 
purpose' in contemporary society.  From Aviva Zornberg review  - “The acute, 
concerned and unconventional voice of a social anthropologist who writes from 
the inside. “ Tamar Ross says  “An updated chapter introducing this 
republication of Berkovic's original work offers a well-informed and optimistic 
prognosis to those seeking a realistic alternative to the bitter rancor that 
often accompanies discussion the of women's status in traditional Judaism.”  
Available fromAmazon or from Fishburn Books in the UK [and yes, she’s my wife].

Re: [ha-Safran] Yizkor book question

Hi Sally

Have you tried the New York Public Library they have digitized their collection 
and it can be accessed on line. I don't know if they have that one but they 
have about 1000.

best regards

Jonathan

Dear Safranim,
Hope you are all well. I have a question about finding digitized online 
translations of a Yizkor book, Lipkan fun amol (Lipcan of Old)
I've only seen two or three chapters of the book in English online. 

My grandfather was born Lipkan, Bessarabia. If there are any other Lipkaners 
out there, hey landsmen! 

Thanks for suggestions,  
Sally
