[ha-Safran] How to reference a web/online exhibition?

[Juan-Paul Burke via Hasafran]

Dear Safranim

How would you reference a web/online exhibition? And would you agree to
including the Web Editor as one might a Translator?

I'd argue that the web Editor has a significant even critical contribution
to the success of the end product and is akin to a Translator in attempting
to communicate the author's intent via a different media.

Eg:
SCHRIRE, G. 2020. *The letters of Tuvye Kretzmar.* [Web Exhibition]. L.
Young, Web Ed. Kaplan Centre, University of Cape Town.

[ha-Safran] INFO: Conference: SA Jewish Community History Online

[Juan-Paul Burke via Hasafran]

PUBLIC CONFERENCE:
Preserving the footprint of the southern african jewish community online
This free public conference will take place on Zoom over three weekly
sessions on 28 July, 4 August and 11 August from 11am to 12.30pm (SA time).

(See Full Programme here 
) [
https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.sajewishmuseum.co.za/event-1__;!!KGKeukY!jDJwcyNCWnePSAkXE7FZlvweeTMaww8juQEnW09ENyjfebkR2AZdkxN3ttjhyuoKhaM$
 ]

The SA Jewish Museum and the Kaplan Centre for Jewish Studies at UCT invite
you to explore the resources available and consider some of the solutions
in use to recreate South African Jewish communities online. We will
consider websites, social media platforms such as Facebook groups, Zoom
reunions and also virtual cemeteries. We will hear from those in the field,
about their processes and successes and what they feel still needs to be
worked on, so that others may follow in their footsteps. Both for dwindling
and for still vibrant Jewish communities, many enthusiasts and
professionals are endeavouring to celebrate and preserve the Jewish
footprint online. Time is of the essence while sources can tell the stories
firsthand. The recent tragic fire that engulfed UCT’s Jagger Library
underlines the importance of securing heritage resources, both physically
and digitally. So please join us for this first Community History Online
(CHOL) Webinar. Register here
 and
you will be sent the zoom link. (Sessions will be recorded and uploaded on
the CHOL playlist of the South African Jewish Museum.)

Register in advance for this webinar:

[ha-Safran] New Book on early 20th century Lithuanian Jewry

[Juan-Paul Burke]

Sarid, A. 2015. There was once a home...: memories of the Lithuanian shtetls 
published in the Afrikaner Idishe Tsaytung-African Jewish Newspaper, 1952-54. 
Translated by Veronica Belling. Cape Town: Jewish Publications - South Africa, 
Isaac  Jessie Kaplan Centre for Jewish Studies  Research.



*



This collection of stories and anecdotes of life in early 20th century 
Lithuanian shtetls, sourced from the Johannesburg Yiddish newspaper, Afrikaner 
Idishe Tsaytung and brought to light for an English speaking audience, is a 
poignant reminder for today's South African Jewry of their Lithuanian 
ancestors. It is also a monument to the sacred memory of those who perished at 
the claws of the Nazi animal and so is a form of Yizkor Buch.



Most of the articles are authored by Mr. A. Sarid but there are also articles 
by a variety of others. The articles were presented as two series between 1952 
and 1954.



Religious and secular life in the shtetl is revealed and described via articles 
long and short. There are also a number of photographs where many may recognise 
names or even faces of once Lithuanian families that have now become South 
African.



The 25 shtetls discussed include Shidlova, Rakishok, Oran, Poshelat, Ponevezh, 
Kupishok and Birzh, amongst others.



In an article on Shidlova there is a depiction of a wedding that is inspiring 
and heart-warming, what a wonderful experience it must have been! Some 
old-worldly ways seem to have been lost in our modern times yet some things 
remain the same.



Rakishok is given an enchanting description and was reputedly the only 100% 
Chasidic shtetl of the predominantly Mitnagdic Lithuania. This is one for the 
Chabadniks and Rakishokers to enjoy.



A tale I would highlight is the moral of, Mote, the Grobe head, found in the 
entry for the shtetl of Oran.



A particularly exciting find for me was the extraordinary description of an 
individual, Reb Motel Pogrimanskis zl, who was a legend at the Yeshivah I 
attended. A Rabbi  Gaon of whom stories heard in Yeshivah are here 
corroborated besides those that have been passed down from Telz to Cleveland to 
Johannesburg. This is one for the Yeshivaniks and Telzers to enjoy.



This is truly a praiseworthy achievement of Dr Veronica Belling and her 
supporters to have ably brought these articles to light.

Re: [ha-Safran] Tractates of the Talmud

[Juan-Paul Burke]

Dear Fernando Penalosa

I would recommend studying Masechet Brachot or Yoma.

I would also recommend finding a competent teacher/study partner such as a 
Rabbi or advanced Yeshiva Bochur.
I see you from  Rancho Palos Verdes. What about consulting a Rabbi from Yehivas 
Ohev Shalom or Yeshiva Ohr Elchonon Chabad_West Coast Talmudic or Yeshiva 
Gedolah of Los Angeles?

[ha-Safran] New Lithuanian Judaica: The Legacy: Teachings for Life from the Great Lithuanian Rabbis

[Juan-Paul Burke]

[below info from site 
http://www.amazon.com/The-Legacy-Teaching-Lithuanian-Rabbis/dp/1592643620 ]

The Legacy: Teachings for Life from the Great Lithuanian Rabbis Hardcover - 2013

Two Orthodox rabbis, Wein the founder and director of Destiny Foundation, and 
Goldstein the Chief Rabbi of South Africa, joined together to offer nine essays 
about rabbis who lived in Lithuania and taught a people-oriented version of 
Judaism. Rabbi Wein wrote three of the essays and focused on the history of the 
country, the Jews in it, and their problems. He also wrote the appendix 
Historical Context. Rabbi Goldstein's six essays focused on the Lithuanian 
rabbis' worldview and their teachings. Wein sometimes touched upon the 
teachings and Goldstein upon history. Jews arrived in Lithuania in the 
fourteenth century escaping from pogroms in Germany and Central Europe. By the 
nineteenth century, Jews were the largest national minority in this strongly 
Roman Catholic country. By 1920, they had a representative in the Lithuanian 
parliament, but remained a distinct and unassimilated minority, and by 1939, 
they numbered about 300,000. Wein writes that pleasantness is one of the 
central teachings of these rabbis. The key to pleasantness, and hence to 
justice and fairness in life, is judging one's own behavior in the light of how 
it affects others. He points out that the Lithuanian rabbinic leadership was 
almost totally wiped out in the Holocaust. Because of this, those who embodied 
this idea of pleasantness and its value system - and had been in the forefront 
of its dissemination in the wider Jewish world - virtually disappeared from the 
Jewish scene. Goldstein gives details of this teaching. The rabbis taught Jews 
are required to develop this type of behavior the most important Torah 
objective, this behavior comes before Torah, and many of its teachings are in 
the Torah itself. Proper behavior, for example, includes treating all people, 
Jews and non-Jews, properly, in all ways, including financial dealings.

[ha-Safran] New South African Judaica: From the Baltic to the Cape by Ivan Kapelus

[Juan-Paul Burke]

(The following can be found at 
http://www.amazon.com/From-Baltic-Cape-Journey-Families/dp/0620566590 )


From the Baltic to the Cape - The Journey of Three Families
Paperback - June 12, 2013
by Ivan Kapelus (Author)

The journey of the Kapelus, Dorfman and Hotz families is a vehicle for telling 
the story of Lithuanian Jewry. Their history, the history of Lithuania, the 
migration process to South Africa and their acculturation in South Africa as 
well as the economic, political and racial tensions that so influenced their 
lives and the lives of the first South African born members of their families. 
To many descendants of the Russian Jews, as they were called, the story told 
will seem so very familiar.

[ha-Safran] A Poetical note on A Match Made in Heaven

[Juan-Paul Burke]

Reform Judaism bog at http://goo.gl/2Eiqe;

As a Shomer Torah u'mitsvos Jew
A little smile came right on cue
Please excuse my inter-denominational banter
And I'll try avoid being the ranter

Oh Reform bog and goo what a double eiq
for an editor's eye and fellow Jew
Whose seen the light of correct spelling
And Torah Judaism quite compelling

And now a happier topic I shall write
As I so do prefer not to fight

A joyous Tu b'Av to all Beit Yosef
When maidens bedeck in white yet if
The lads neglect to rove
For nought the young sweets strove
Oh boys get your act together
And wine, dine and wed her

Enjoying my first post  considering meeting you in LA
Regards
