[ha-Safran] Israeli author/illustrator Miri Leshem-Pelly coming to the US in November

[Lisa Silverman via Hasafran]

Hi all,
My friend Miri Leshem-Pelly, a well-known children's author and illustrator 
from Israel is coming on book tour in November and she still has some open 
dates, so I wanted to make sure schools and synagogues and public libraries 
knew of the opportunity to invite her.

She will  be touring with her new book A FEATHER, A PEBBLE, A SHELL (Published 
by Kar-Ben and selected for PJ Library), a story about a girl’s hikes through 
diverse, beautiful nature sites in Israel. It is perfect time to offer children 
positive views of Israel with no politics involved and for them to meet an 
engaging author from the country.

Tour plans include: California, North Carolina, Maryland, Massachusetts and 
Vermont. Additional nearby states might still be included.

See the pictures below  for information about the programs she offers and about 
this book.
So - if you’d like her to visit your city / school / community - contact her at 
her email m...@mirileshem.com

or through her facebook page: facebook.com/mirileshem

On her last tour to the US, she came to our school and did a wonderful program 
for the kids.

Re: [ha-Safran] Travel suggestions for the San Diego conference?

[Lisa Silverman via Hasafran]

Hi all,
Regarding travel arrangements to Southern California, I wanted to mention that 
if anyone found it easier to fly into Burbank Airport, the Amtrak station is 
within short walking distance, and there are 5 trains daily that go directly to 
San Diego Old Town on the "Pacific Surfliner" which, after transiting from 
Burbank to Los Angeles, eventually hugs the Pacific Ocean from Orange County to 
San Diego and it is a lovely ride on a summer's day—taking approximately 3.5 
hours, for a one way ticket of $37.00.
It could be an option for anyone coming in early Sunday morning. I am planning 
to arrive this way (you need to get a cab or Uber from the San Diego station to 
the hotel, which is 3 miles away) because I live close to Burbank.
The options for train travel from LAX airport are not worth it because first 
you have to get yourself to downtown LA, which could be a pain...

[ha-Safran] Jewish Heritage Trip to Portugal

[Lisa Silverman via Hasafran]

Hello Safranim,

A while back I posted information about a Jewish Heritage tour to Portugal I am 
trying to organize that will take place in September of this year.  I am 
delighted to report that the tour is almost sold out, but there are 4 spots 
left and so I decided to post the information again.  Most of the registrants 
are librarians or spouses and our leader will be Dr. Peter Tarlow, an expert on 
Jewish Portugal.

HEREVILLE: A NEW JEWISH MUSICAL

Based on the acclaimed Hereville graphic novels by Barry Deutsch, this 
family-friendly musical, also a 2023 JewCie Award nominee, centers on Mirka, an 
11-year-old girl in a small Orthodox Jewish town.  Her encounter with a witch 
in the woods sets off a series of events that lead to a deep exploration of her 
mother’s memory, her complex relationship with her stepmother, and the looming 
threat of a meteor that could impact Hereville. The heart of the musical lies 
in the love story between the stepmother and stepchild as they navigate the 
dynamics of their blended family, making it a PG-rated production that deals 
with themes of grief, loss, and challenging situations, appealing to family 
audiences.  Book by Robby Sandler with Jess Kaufman.  November 9, 6:30 pm, ET.  
Free.

Re: [ha-Safran] Sad news

Adaire was a mentor to everyone in AJLSC for so many years. We often would meet 
in her home in the Pico-Robertson area. She taught a number of courses to help 
those of us (like me) who were just starting out in the field. She moved to 
Israel in retirement as she and her family had always wanted to do.  I will 
remember her fondly and donate to AJL in her honor.

research, and providing specialized reference assistance. After two years in 
this position, she worked as a subject librarian for Jewish studies, religious 
studies, philosophy, and medieval and Renaissance studies until 2017 and is 
currently the open stack collections curator. In this role, she provides 
leadership for the selection, management, and disposition of print collections 
and openly accessible resources. She also works with, trains, and guides 
selectors on purchasing materials. She holds two master’s degrees, a Master in 
Information Resources and Library Science from University of Arizona and an MA 
in Translation Studies from Tel Aviv University.



Rachel’s involvement with the AJL began when she joined the Association in 2003 
as a new Judaica librarian. Her professional involvement in the Association 
began in 2007, when she co-chaired that year’s annual conference in Scottsdale, 
Arizona, with Haim Gottschalk. The following year, she was elected vice 
president of AJL’s Research, Archives, and Special Collections Division (RAS), 
serving alongside RAS President Jim Rosenbloom (2008–2010). As RAS president 
(2010–2012), she collaborated with Schools, Synagogues, and Centers Division 
President Joyce Levine to conduct a member survey to study trends in Judaica 
libraries and anticipate future developments across the AJL divisions. The 
survey results, including the number of librarians in AJL libraries, their 
educational level, age and years of service, and retirement plans, were used in 
AJL strategic and leadership organizational planning. Rachel served on several 
AJL strategic planning committees, from 2008 to 2010 and from 2013 to 2016, and 
has served on the AJL Council since 2007 and on the Association’s Constitution 
and Bylaws Committee since 2022.



In 2012, Rachel became the editor of Judaica Librarianship, AJL’s peer-reviewed 
journal. A year later, she transferred the print-only publication to electronic 
publishing, set up the electronic platform and a new peer-review process, 
designed a new textual “nusaḥ,” and acquired the Adobe InDesign skills needed 
for the production of scholarly works. She arranged for each issue to become 
open access 12 months after publication and moved the journal to complete open 
access when shifting it to a new electronic platform with the Open Journal 
Systems in early 2020. Opening the journal to all resulted in a significantly 
increased number of readers and better exposure to AJL. For the journal’s 
fortieth anniversary this year, she has led an AJL volunteer team in a project 
to upload the remainder of the journal’s back issues, following prior success 
with making volumes 9–16/17 available online.



Lisa Silverman, award committee chair, commented, “On behalf of the Fanny 
Goldstein Merit Award committee, we are proud to have the opportunity to honor 
Rachel Leket-Mor as this year’s recipient of the Award. Rachel has contributed 
so much to AJL, to the field of Judaica librarianship, and to librarianship as 
a profession overall. Her work on the AJL journal Judaica Librarianship has 
been invaluable to the organization. Rachel personifies the values and legacy 
of the Award’s namesake, Fanny Goldstein, who devoted her 

[ha-Safran] Baron's Social and Religious History of the Jews

[Lisa Silverman via Hasafran]

Does anyone want volumes 1 - 8 plus Volume 10 (for the cost of shipping in a 
post office 2 day box)?  It costs $22.00.

There are no dust jackets, but the volumes are in great condition--NOT 
ex-library. Hardly read at all as far as I can tell!

[ha-Safran] I asked the new AI Chatbot what a Judaic Librarian is! Five seconds later...

[Lisa Silverman via Hasafran]

what is a judaic librarian?

A Judaic librarian is a librarian who specializes in the collection and 
organization of materials related to Judaism and Jewish culture. This may 
include books, manuscripts, artifacts, and other resources related to the 
history, beliefs, and practices of the Jewish faith. Judaic librarians often 
work in libraries at synagogues, Jewish community centers, or universities with 
programs focused on Jewish studies. They may also work at museums or archives 
that have collections related to Jewish history and culture.

[ha-Safran] Baruch Dayan Emet: Former AJL President, Barbara Leff

[Lisa Silverman via Hasafran]

Barbara Young Leff, age 89, passed away on Tuesday evening in Los Angeles. She 
was a mentor to so many Los Angeles librarians and students for many years as 
Library Director at Stephen S. Wise Temple, the largest temple in LA. She 
served as AJL President from 1980-1982 and was actively involved in the 
Southern California chapter, AJLSC.

A service will be held this Sunday, March 27 at 2:00 pm at Groman Eden 
Mortuary, 11500 Sepulveda Blvd, Mission Hills, CA and simultaneously on 
Facebook Live at:

If you are inclined to donate in her honor, her family suggests the two places 
that she loved to support: AJL 
(https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://jewishlibraries.org/__;!!KGKeukY!giy6kwuBhGwztdxS3mBWD3-l4rrVqYwb7Tx4KdzXiC8vK1Qz2IACxMf8pg4ytc0QBrKKuH6PYCMvlu4$
 ) or the Friends of the Tarzana Public Library, which she ran for many years 
and was known and loved by the public.

missed. May her memory be a blessing.

Re: [ha-Safran] Association of Jewish Libraries Statement on Ukraine

[Lisa Silverman via Hasafran]

Here are verified sites that would interest this list regarding ways to help 
Ukrainian refugees, Jews and others, from a Los Angeles group called Jews 
United for Democracy:



Many have asked for our suggestions of non-profit organizations aiding 
Ukrainians impacted by Russia's invasion.  While there are many outstanding 
organizations mobilizing to bring humanitarian aid and assistance to those 
wounded, displaced and otherwise impacted by the war, we are listing 
organizations below with whom our leadership team has personal experience.

I.  To aide Ukrainian Jews, many of whom are elderly survivors of the 
holocaust, this 
Fund was established by the Jewish Federation of Los Angeles; 100% of all monies 
collected are being distributed to 4 different Jewish organizations which are 
providing direct assistance to Ukraine's Jewish community. Donations are tax 
deductible.  
https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://jewishla.org/donate/4-ukraine/__;!!KGKeukY!gbyrltxY1KAOQ5lv_iucILPDVHfKoeu6UBuK-_O-2SEtPYRfZdglyZmEygCrMktu5tpC6g07Q2Jhohs$
 


2.  This organization, with whom we have direct contact, and whom our 
leadership team has worked with over the past many years, is headquartered in 
Poland and has created 
 this Ukraine assistance fund 
 which distributes money to 14 grass roots organizations on the ground in 
Ukraine and Poland .  Donations made are not tax deductible in the US.  FYI, 
there are 4.5 zloty to the US dollar; $100 US= 450 zloty.

3.  Direct Relief has established this special Ukraine fund 
 and is working directly with Ukraine’s Ministry of Health and other partners 
in the region to provide requested medical aid, from oxygen concentrators to 
critical care medicines – while preparing to offer longer-term medical aid to 
people displaced or affected by the conflict.  Donations are tax-deductible.

4. HIAS, the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society, is responding with HIAS emergency 
humanitarian 
assistance to those who are displaced.  A HIAS response team is in 
Poland  assisting Ukrainians — Jews and others — as they cross into Poland.  
Donations are tax-deductible.

Colleagues, if you know about *verified* ways to help, please add to this

I'll start with a library/DH initiative to preserve digital archives

 of which a significant percentage on the current list have some Jewish aspect.

Please especially share verified channels you've seen to help the people -

What we know today as “the Jewish bookshelf” was strongly shaped by an enormous 
body of texts written in Judeo-Arabic, approximately between the tenth and 
thirteenth centuries.  Professor Goldstein will introduce the Judeo-Arabic 
language and what was written in it, laying out the massive linguistic, 
literary, and cultural changes that the Jewish communities of the Middle East 
and Mediterranean experienced following the Islamic conquests of the seventh 
century CE and the spread of Arabic throughout the region. Miriam Goldstein’s 
research focuses on medieval Judeo-Arabic literature and interreligious 
relations among Jews, Christians, and Muslims in the medieval Arabic-speaking 
world.  She is the author and editor of numerous books and articles on Arabic 
and Judeo-Arabic literature, and is currently finishing a book devoted to the 
Middle Eastern texts and contexts of the long-lived Jewish parody of the life 
of Jesus, Toledot Yeshu. Dec. 12, 11:00 am, PST. Free.

FAMILY, HISTORY, MEMORY: NOTES ON SOME JEWISH GRAPHIC NOVELS

Why dig into the past—communal, familial—particularly when it is likely to 
yield dark, horrible truths? What’s the connection between visual storytelling, 
especially in the form of comics, and the piecing together of events from long 
ago? In this talk, Tahneer Oksman, Associate Professor of Academic Writing, 
Marymount Manhattan College  will discuss four graphic memoirs (or, in other 
words, non-fiction graphic novels): Rutu Modan’s The Property, Nora Krug’s 
Belonging, Amy Kurzweil’s Flying Couch, and Miriam Katin’s Letting It Go. 
Despite their differing plots and perspectives, these visual works all 
powerfully evoke some of the most important, related questions about the 
Holocaust and other 20th and 21st century atrocities. Ultimately, these texts 
investigate what it means to adequately, and ethically, address the past, 
including untold, and unseen, histories. Dec. 12, 10:00 am, PST. Free.

Re: [ha-Safran] in-person preschool storytime?

[Lisa Silverman via Hasafran]

 Heidi,
Along with Rachel's suggestions, you can also use a large monitor and show the 
book on a screen. I often did that at storytime pre-covid (because it was fun) 
and bought the book on kindle and used the Kindle cloud reader app on the 
computer: read.amazon.com

It is a great way to discuss illustrations particularly because now everyone 
can see them clearly.

Hi Heidi,



I’ve been leading in-person storytime for the 2, 3 and 4-year-old preschool 
classes since last January, plus library visits for the PK-7th grade Religious 
School classes since September. We have a statewide indoor mask mandate in 
Illinois so I’m wearing a mask and all of the children (even the 2-year-olds!) 
and staff are too.  Last year, I only saw 1 preschool class per day.  This 
year, I see two preschool classes per day and up to 4 religious school classes 
on Sunday mornings and 2-3 classes on Tuesday/Wednesday afternoons. I have my 
3rd shot and vaccination rates are high in our community even among the 5-11 
year olds.



Here are my suggestions for you – take any or all of them!

· Put a piece of tape on the floor so that the kids are sitting at 
least 6 feet from you.

· Move storytime out of the library to a larger space in the synagogue 
(like the social hall) so that everyone can spread out more.

· Shorten storytime to 15 minutes.  According to our health department, 
you are only considered a close contact of a positive case if you are within 6 
feet of the person for 15 minutes or longer.

· Only schedule 1 class per day.

· Use a voice amplifier.  I have this one and it works great: 
https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XWV9CCQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8=1__;!!KGKeukY!jzaJ8wREtnxHHiScAYYo11XWEdRlIZqAGlL2-vHf_nqMKiXvwLmwcyT-EEwbzawAKJY$
 


It really saves your voice and makes it easier for everyone to hear you when 
you’re wearing a mask, especially in a big room and/or with a larger group.



Good luck!

Hello, Heidi:



I have a few thoughts... we definitely all have different comfort levels with 
covid. At our preschool, all kids and staff are masked - even if the masks are 
not a perfect fit on younger children. For me, I feel protected with my mask on 
and 3 vaccines and feel i'm taking an informed low risk in terms of exposure 
and low level illness if I do get it - perhaps that's a false sense of security 
but for me, it seems reasonable. But that's once a week, not every day.



I do read stories with my mask on and don't seem to have a problem. I believe 
you should wear a mask in person or at least a shield. I can generally project 
well and be animated pretty well even with the mask on but i'm only doing it 
once a week. I find cloth masks much more comfortable.



When I did storytime on zoom last year, I spotlighted my face but pointed an 
external camera at the book page or used ebooks so that the pictures were nice 
and close. I also only read for 10-15 minutes, shorter periods of time than 
in-person.



 I do not find it as satisfying personally when the camera is not close enough 
to the illustrations and text when I observe other storytimes, which I would 
think could be the same for young children unless you are really super dramatic 
and able to hold the book up to the camera (which i have trouble doing). But 
for some reason, seeing someone reading while sitting in a chair onscreen - i 
do not feel a connection. Not sure if that's a helpful suggestion or not. Maybe 
you can compromise on in-person once a week and zoom the other days.



Good luck and happy chanukah!

Toby

[ha-Safran] New Mexico Trip was so great I'm doing another one!

[Lisa Silverman via Hasafran]

Hi Safranim,

I am pleased to report that the Road Scholar trip I coordinated with a group of 
24 librarians, book group members, and spouses, was fabulous-- and I have 
decided to form another group next fall for all those who had contacted me that 
they would have come, but...Covid.

We just returned, and we all enjoyed the lectures, museums, shops, restaurants 
and beauty of the Santa Fe and Taos area, and the weather was wonderful. There 
were no Covid-related issues and the trip, which was run by Road Scholar was 
very well organized.

The subject of the trip is "Learning About the Crypto-Jews and Conversos of New 
Mexico".  Our lectures were excellent and we learned so much. We even held a 
book group after reading the novel, Gateway to the Moon, by Mary Morris.

If you are interested in coming next year, the dates are OCTOBER  23 - 28, 
2022.  The website for more information is: 
https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.roadscholar.org/find-an-adventure/22854/new-mexico-s-conversos-and-crypto-jews-in-santa-fe__;!!KGKeukY!nPbTsI_NnERxKPqHqNZXNJ3_SkhDjf9pU2NWhY0m-vxJgWE48AqS7SWMfwaFQt88j93lpxlKkDy9EjA$
 

We are accepting 21 people only on this private group and the fee to reserve a 
spot is $100, which is refundable up to a certain date. But once it sells out, 
we will create a waiting list. Please email me if you want to be on my list for 
information, etc, as I create a new group.

Here's a photo of myself and librarian Annette Goldsmith at the museum in Santa 
Fe taken by Annette's husband, Don.

[ha-Safran] Trip to Santa Fe - still open!

[Lisa Silverman via Hasafran]

Hi Safranim,
This is a reminder email that the upcoming Road Scholar trip with a bunch of 
librarians and educators to Santa Fe, New Mexico has 3 spots left and I would 
love to fill them.

As of now, there are 19 very smart and interesting people coming along with me 
for a 6- day trip from October 24 - 29th to learn about "New Mexico's Conversos 
and Crypto Jews of Santa Fe" and also see the sights of Santa Fe and Taos.

This trip is one of the most popular ones offered by Road Scholar and the 
public ones are sold out until next summer or later.  Here are some great 
reasons to go:


  *   New Mexico is the 5th most vaccinated state, and Santa Fe county is one 
of the highest vaccinated in the country
  *   We will be staying in the beautiful Drury Hotel
  *   Our group leader will be Rabbi Jordi Gendra-Molina, originally from 
Spain, along with 4 other speakers and scholars, including Dr. Ron Hart, who 
has written the most interesting book on this topic.
  *   Road Scholar requires all participants and staff to be vaccinated and we 
can choose to have meals outside. Most meals are included in the cost.
  *   The people on this tour have mostly met on Zoom and we are all very 
excited to get away for a while these days! We will have one more virtual 
meet-up before the trip begins.

Please take a look at the website with all the info and please let me know if 
you are interested, or feel free to forward to anyone else:

Re: [ha-Safran] question about kippot

[Lisa Silverman via Hasafran]

Hello Safranim,
I received many replies to my questions about kippot in children's books and I 
had started a document where I was adding everyone's comments, but it got very 
long and I began to realize that many replies were similar anyway.  So, for 
those of you who were interested in the general consensus of what I received 
here are the answers in a nutshell, in red:


  1.  Would Joachim Prinz be wearing a kippa at any time in public? ​Probably 
not. It is wrong that he would be depicted in a way that is not historically 
accurate, even if he wore one at shul, or at study.
  2.  Do any Jews affiliated with the Reform or Progressive movements ever wear 
kippot in public?  ​Rarely, but some do.
  3.  Do Reform Jews wear kippot at all times in the synagogue? Do they have 
kids wear them at Hebrew school? ​Kids rarely wear them at Hebrew school, but 
they do during services, as do the parents, often women do, too.
  4.  Would a book be too confusing to children if some men at, say, a sukkot 
gathering, wear a kippah and some do not? ​Not confusing to most kids, could be 
confusing to more observant Jews who are more used to seeing that.
  5.  Do Orthodox or more observant denominations only buy picture books if all 
the men and boys wear kippot?  Or do they not buy picture books from secular 
publishers anyway? ​Orthodox libraries will buy secular books as long as they 
are not about Jewish themes. For Jewish practices, they buy books reflecting 
their level of observance. If the book is related to Jewish practice, then they 
would buy books where males are wearing kippot.
  6.  When was the practice of wearing knitted or patterned kippot begun in 
North America?  ​No one was able to lead me to anything definitive on this, but 
the best guesses by people are that the practice began in the 1960's or 70's.

Andrea,
Kalaniot books, along with as many Jewish titles from all other publishers that 
we can find, are reviewed in AJL News and Reviews, however, since it is a 
quarterly publication, sometimes there is a lag re publication date. You can 
search the issues at our website if you are looking for a particular title.

Re: [ha-Safran] Israeli Stream TV subscription: Known as Izzy?

[Lisa Silverman via Hasafran]

I subscribe to IZZY and it is great!  I access it on my Roku device along with 
some other channels.  They have many interesting shows and documentaries and 
they are a start-up and I hope they succeed.

They send out a weekly email with the new shows they have added--all in Hebrew 
with subtitles. Some of these shows are hard to find elsewhere.  The guy who 
runs it is Josh Hoffman, who was originally from LA.  Here are some links to 
some reviews he had once sent me:

[ha-Safran] October Trip to Santa Fe -- 5 spots left!

[Lisa Silverman via Hasafran]

Hi Safranim,
Last month I posted about an October trip to Santa Fe New Mexico that I am 
leading by the Road Scholar travel organization. We have limited the trip to 22 
people and as of now there are 5 places left, so I wanted to post one more 
time.  The trip is entitled: "New Mexico's Conversos and Crypto-Jews in Santa 
Fe" and it is guided by Rabbi Jordi Genra-Molina, born in Spain, and an expert 
in Medieval Jewish History. A number of AJL librarians are now registered for 
the trip and I hope you will take a look at the website now that things are 
opening up. (Everyone must be vaccinated on this tour.) I believe it will be a 
wonderful experience--here is the website with all the information:

National libraries hold their countries’ heritage “in trust” in more ways than 
one. What does this mean?  In Poland?  In Israel? How are Jewish and Polish 
writers’ identities defined and reflected? How have the national libraries 
safeguarding their works become “experiences” and not just “repositories”? A 
conversation between Oren Weinberg, Director General, National Library of

Mazal tov to Rachel ! I can’t think of a more deserving librarian.  I was sure 
that she has received the award ages ago.  When I  first met Rachel she was 
still in Detroit, I imagined her as AJL president,  but then she concentrated 
on her family. Later she turned down the nomination to become SSC president.

I turn to her advise often and always get help.  I never miss her presentations 
at the confernces.

Rachel, AJL is lucky to have you,

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

2021 Fanny Goldstein Merit Award Winner Announced

[cid:image001.png@01D7383F.41A05280]

In advance of the 2021 Virtual Conference, the Association of Jewish Libraries 
is pleased to announce that longtime member Rachel Kamin has been named the 
2021 Fanny Goldstein Merit Award Winner. “On behalf of the Fanny Goldstein 
Merit Award committee, we are proud to have been given the opportunity to honor 
Rachel Kamin as this year’s recipient of the Award. Over the years, Rachel has 
contributed so much to the Association of Jewish Libraries, to the field of 
Judaica librarianship, and to librarianship as a profession overall. On very 
short notice and under challenging circumstances, she played a pivotal role in 
transforming AJL’s 2020 conference from an in-person to a highly successful 
virtual event. Rachel’s passionate devotion to public service is a model for us 
all, and she truly personifies the values and legacy of the Award’s namesake, 
Fanny Goldstein.” said committee chair Zachary Baker.

The Fanny Goldstein Merit Award, named for the librarian, social activist and 
founder of National Jewish Book Month, is bestowed in recognition of loyal and 
ongoing contributions to the Association Of Jewish Libraries and to the 
profession of Judaica librarianship.

Born on May 15, 1895 [some sources say 1888], Fanny Goldstein devoted her life 
to books and community. She was the first female Judaica librarian and the 
first woman to direct a branch library in Massachusetts, where she was head of 
Boston's West End Branch for many years. A prominent figure in the Boston 
Jewish community, she is best known as the founder of Jewish Book Week, which 
began when Goldstein organized a display of Jewish books at the Boston Public 
Library in 1925.

Rachel Kamin has been a synagogue librarian for over 20 years and is currently 
the Director of the Joseph and Mae Gray Cultural & Learning Center at North 
Suburban Synagogue Beth El in Highland Park, Illinois.  She serves on the 
Association of Jewish Libraries New Jewish Fiction Award Committee and 
contributes articles and book reviews to BookLinks, School Library Journal, 
Jewish Book World, Judaica Librarianship, Library Journal, and AJL Reviews.  
She contributed a chapter on recommended children’s books to The Tot Shabbat 
Handbook: A Practical Guide for Engaging Young Families in Congregational Life 
edited by Paula Feldstein (URJ Press, 2010) and co-authored a chapter about 
Jewish children’s literature for Reading and Teaching with Diverse Nonfiction 
Children’s Books: Representations and Possibilities, to be published in the 
summer of 2021 by the National Council for Teachers of English. She facilitates 
book discussions for five Chicago area synagogues as well as for other 
organizations and private groups.  Rachel holds a BA in history from Grinnell 
College and a master’s degree in library and information science from the 
University of Michigan.

In addition, Rachel has been a member of AJL for at least 20 years and has 
attended the AJL Conference regularly. After the decision was made to not hold 
the conference live in Chicago in 2020 as planned, Rachel restructured

[ha-Safran] Do you know the way to Santa Fe?

[Lisa Silverman via Hasafran]

Hi safranim,
I have been itching to go somewhere and think that October may be long enough 
away to be able to do so safely. I have always been interested in a trip to 
Santa Fe, New Mexico and have been working with the Road Scholar travel 
organization to create a trip for my book club from October 24 - 29.  The name 
of the trip is "NEW MEXICO'S CONVERSOS AND CRYPTO-JEWS IN SANTA FE" and the 
trip is guided by Rabbi Jordi Gendra-Molina. You don't have to be in my book 
club to come--it is open to anyone. (I do have to specify that vegetarian food 
will be available, but kosher meals are not offered. There is also insurance 
you can get in case you sign up and then cancel.)

All the information is at this link:  
https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://clt1244452.bmeurl.co/BF839A4__;!!KGKeukY!iNEhqZCYsDSnAcZgV7eKIhgRi5eulP-aIFAVpttgzjFGTqgjxYJpV-1rRvqE8UNWasD0KhrUeN3800E$
 

I would love to have some librarian friends join us, so take a look at the 
information if you are interested!

Re: [ha-Safran] Trying to reach the Central Cataloging Service for Libraries of Judaica

[Lisa Silverman via Hasafran]

Hello Esther,
Long ago, the Sinai Temple Library under the leadership of Rita Frischer and 
Rachel Glasser, developed a fee-based service called the "Central Cataloging 
Service" which provided Elazar cataloging numbers and subject headings for 
small libraries that were using the Elazar classification system. After Rita 
retired and I took over that position, we eventually phased out the service and 
it no longer exists.  I no longer work with Sinai Temple, but please feel free 
to contact me if you need help with Elazar cataloging and I will be happy to 
advise you.

[ha-Safran] Free digital Jewish Kids' Coloring book!

[Lisa Silverman via Hasafran]

Hi all,
My friend, author Jeff Gottesfeld, has written a labor-of-love project for 
children during Covid times that he explains below:

"My thought was that Jewish life is communal. But there are still ways for kids 
and families to find Jewish joy at home. To help that cause, and to give 
parents plenty of ideas, I wrote a free, downloadable PDF coloring book for 
kids: When We Can't Go Out: Jewish Joy at Home. It has glorious and funny 
illustrations by Rhode Island School of Design student Jonah Cohen, and is 
designed by Julie Greller, who is a childhood chum. We're all Jewish, it's 
suitable for all streams of Jewish practice, and reflects the diversity of 
Judaism. It's our gift to the community and our kids.

Our hope is that parents will download and print this free book for kids to 
read, color, and enjoy.  I attach a copy here for your ease and sharing. The 
shareable download link:

[ha-Safran] Jewish Book Group at LMU

[Lisa Silverman via Hasafran]

Hey all--I am teaching a famous Grace Paley short story on Sunday Dec 6 at 
Loyola Marymount University at a free zoom class--see below and sign up if 
interested!


LMU SUNDAY JEWISH BOOK GROUP: “THE LOUDEST VOICE”
Join Loyola Marymount University’s Jewish Book Group sponsored by the Hannon 
Library for a discussion of the short story “The Loudest Voice” by Grace Paley, 
led by Lisa Silverman, former Library Director at AJU’s Burton Sperber Jewish 
Community Library. In Paley’s 1959 story, Shirley Abramowitz, a Jewish student 
in a public elementary school, is asked to be the narrator of her school’s 
Christmas pageant. In depicting American Jews trying to navigate the Christmas 
season, this story points to the many dilemmas faced by Jews and other 
immigrants living as minorities in America. (The story is available at this 
link: 
https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.whatsoproudlywehail.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/Loudest-Voice-Grace-Paley.pdf?x65350__;!!KGKeukY!il6q_AiVCeUrNVfgvvLr-nrphKSA1nqYLoKHqQupF6guJCc0X4xq42t_wYynVoz_-P5ovT1HJ6AVwNA$

Should we preserve, research, and exhibit in our museums only the works of art 
and visual materials of the "glorious past"? As a scholar of Jewish art and 
material culture, I was always surprised to see that a simple Hanukkah lamp 
produced 300-400 years ago is admired by museum visitors and scholars alike 
while Judaic items of today are often thrown to the garbage after they are 
used. The museums' curators with whom I discussed this issue dismissed it as 
something not worth the efforts and money. As a result, some 25 years ago I 
started to collect and study Jewish ephemera of today. Thus, for example, I 
asked all my friends and family to save for me Rosh ha-Shanah cards - and soon 
discovered that the iconography of the cards and the messages on them change on 
a year by year basis. Shortly thereafter appeared the first essay ever on the 
history of the Jewish new year cards from their first appearance to today. Many 
other categories followed - Simchat Torah flags, Tzedakah boxes, kosher wine 
labels, amulets, wedding invitations (as well as other events in the life 
cycle), yahrzeit candles, ex libris, dreidels, sukkah decorations, Haggadot, 
pamphlets, postcards, etc., etc. There are many strategies on how to get the 
items - including looking through Jerusalem Genizot, items that are thrown away 
by children of deceased relatives, products in the supermarkets issued for 
special occasions, etc. Each category presents the richness of the field and 
how much it can teach us about Jewish society. By now, my students 
enthusiastically continue to develop this field, and there is hardly any Judaic 
museum or major Jewish library, whether in Israel or abroad, that doesn't 
understand the importance of ephemera for the present and the future.

 Shalom Sabar is Professor of Jewish Art and Folklore at the Hebrew University 
of Jerusalem. Sabar is the last Jewish baby born and circumcised in the ages 
old neo-Aramaic speaking Kurdish-Jewish community of Zakho. He earned his PhD 
in Art History from UCLA (1987), writing on the illustrated marriage contracts 
of the Jews in Renaissance and Baroque Italy. His research joins together the 
disciplines of art history and folklore, highlighting issues pertaining to the 
folk nature of Jewish art and Jewish material culture, visual materials and 
objects associated with rituals in the life and year cycles, and the evidence 
these materials provide about the relationships between the Jewish minorities 
and the societies that hosted them in Christian Europe and the Islamic East. 
Among his books are: Ketubbah: Jewish Marriage Contracts of the Hebrew Union 
College Skirball Museum (1990); Mazal Tov: Illuminated Jewish Marriage 
Contracts from the Israel Museum Collection (1994); Jerusalem - Stone and 
Spirit: 3000 Years of History and Art (with Dan Bahat; 1997); The Life Cycle 
[of the Jews in the Lands of Islam; 2006], and The Sarajevo Haggadah: History 
and Art (2018). Sabar served as editor of Rimonim (a Hebrew periodical of 
Jewish art), co-editor of Jerusalem Studies in Jewish Folklore, Pe’amim, and a 
multi-volume series dedicated to the Jewish communities in the lands of Islam 
(both published by Ben Zvi institute). He serves as a visiting professor and 
lectures widely in universities, museums, and public institutions in Israel, 
Europe and the US. In addition, he guides travelling seminars to Jewish sites 
in Europe, North Africa, India, and Central Asia. One of Prof. Sabar’s hobbies 
has been collecting a wide range of Jewish ephemera, which serve him and his 
students as an invaluable resource for study, research and teaching.
Celebrating our 20th year, the Orange County Jewish Community Scholar Program 
shares the joy of Judaism, builds community, and celebrates our 

[ha-Safran] looking for online Zoom-type programs

[Lisa Silverman via Hasafran]

Hello Safranim--I am working with the Jewish Journal to compile a weekly list 
of online Jewish educational programs that are offered for free.  I poked 
around the internet and found a lot of places who have offered, or may offer, a 
program here and there, and some who do it more often.  We are particularly 
looking for places around the world that may be new to readers. Of course, we 
would need it to be in English but I suppose Hebrew would be ok.
If you get notifications from an organization (or if your organization would 
like to be included), please see the list below and email me the name and 
website of the place you think I should add.
thank you,
Lisa Silverman

[ha-Safran] Career changes in Pandemic times....

[Lisa Silverman via Hasafran]

Hello Safranim,
As we all know, librarians are one of the professions suffering at this time 
because our libraries are closed-- and working from home doesn't really cut it. 
So the news is that I have been laid off from my position of library director 
of the Sperber Jewish Community Library and the position has been eliminated. 
The operation of the library and the new digital platform called California 
Jewish Library Consortium will be absorbed into the university's academic 
library.

HOWEVERI am looking forward to beginning my new Library Consulting 
business! I am going to create a website where I will be posting classes, 
reviews, and Zoom book clubs and offering various services to synagogue 
libraries, JCC's and other small libraries around the country, including 
guidance on how to move their collections to a digital platform. This is a 
perfect time for smaller libraries to begin to consider this type of move.

My old email address is no longer active, so please change my contact info to 
this new email: 
lisa.silverman2...@outlook.com.

I am still planning to be very involved on the AJL Council and will inform you 
when I have my website up and going. In the meantime, feel free to contact me 
with any ideas or suggestions.

Stay well everyone,
Lisa Silverman

Re: [ha-Safran] One of those patron questions....

[Lisa Silverman via Hasafran]

Thanks, everyone!

I will offer the patron the choice between:

Rescue in Denmark by Harold Flender 1963

 A Night of Watching, by Elliott Arnold  Published by Scribner in 1967.

The other titles suggested were mostly published after 1970, so they would not 
be suitable to what she is looking for.
Thanks, all!

Lisa

[ha-Safran] One of those patron questions....

[Lisa Silverman via Hasafran]

Does anyone want to take a stab at answering this question I got from a patron?

"I am trying to remember the name of a novel I read in the 1960’s.  It was the 
story of the evacuation of Jewish people at night by boat from Denmark during 
the Holocaust.  I think it was a paperback book.  Do you have any leads?"

Email me if you think you have an idea.

Subject: [ha-Safran] Heidi Rabinowitz presents at ALA Annual


[EXTERNAL]

I just watched Heidi present with K.C. Boyd at the EMIERT Chair's Program 
Promoting Multicultural Library Services in Virtual Spaces at the ALA digital 
conference.  It was a great presentation, and the comments in the Q space 
were very positive.  EMIERT is planning to make the presentation available on 
their website, so I will send the link so everyone can see it.

How did this happen?  I pushed to be on the EMIERT Program Committee.  The 
Chair's Program was already set and was to be a very theoretical program about 
ethnic materials.  When everything changed, the in-person program wouldn't work 
online, and the committee had to come up with a new program quickly, I 
suggested Heidi to join a DC school librarian to talk about this topic, and we 
are so lucky she agreed.

I can't tell you how happy I am with how the program turned out.  It really 
brought out the diversity of materials to have speakers from such different 
backgrounds.

Thank you, Heidi, for stepping up and preparing for this program on short 
notice that will reach a broad audience.  You are a superstar.

Spiritual Journeys and Religious Pursuits: A Conversation About Hassidism

21st century Jews seeking spiritual depth and religious integrity have embraced

he engages Arthur Green and Ariel Evan Mayse, editors of a two volume anthology 
that explores the Hassidic Movement in North America and Israel. Meet and learn

apart – Green was born during World War II and Mayse, a millennial, as they 
explore Hassidism from different perspectives.

[ha-Safran] Very Exciting E-book News from California!

[Lisa Silverman via Hasafran]

Hi all,
I wanted to make sure everyone knew about the new "California Jewish Libraries 
Digital Book Consortium" on Overdrive.  The Sperber Jewish Community Library in 
Los Angeles has partnered with the Jewish Community Library of San Francisco to 
create a consortium of our two libraries for the purposes of e-book and audio 
lending.

We are hoping that other libraries in California will be interested in joining 
and if so, please email me. (Unfortunately, we have learned that we are only 
allowed to lend to patrons who live within driving distance of our individual 
libraries and therefore, your address must be in California. This is the 
agreement Overdrive has made with publishers to allow a consortium.)

For those interested in seeing our new website, please visit: 
https://californiajewishlibraries.overdrive.com/californiajewishlibraries-231-232/content
California Jewish Library Digital Book Consortium - 
OverDrive
Browse, borrow, and enjoy titles from the California Jewish Library Digital 
Book Consortium digital collection.
californiajewishlibraries.overdrive.com
You will see some of the collection if you click on the link above, but you 
need a library card sign-in to actually access all of it. For those who live in 
Southern California, please request a library card at our website: 
https://www.aju.edu/sperber-community-library/ebooks


For those who live in Northern California, please visit:  
https://jewishlearning.works/jewish-community-library/ebook-collection/

Serendipitous timing: S.F. Jewish library launches ebook program – 
J.
Jews stuck inside these days now have something new to keep them occupied. The 
Jewish Community Library in San Francisco has just launched its ebook and 
audiobook collection, which will let library patrons download books at home. 
It’s fortuitous timing, although coincidental. “We were definitely not 
designing this with self-quarantine in mind!” said director Howard …

Subject: [ha-Safran] Haggadot online


Hello All,

I have had a request from a Jewish studies teacher whether there are any online 
Haggadahs students can read. Apart from Sefaria, can any of you recommend any 
resources?



Thanks,

Re: [ha-Safran] Book - Hanukkah Baby- question

[Lisa Silverman via Hasafran]

Sally,
We will be reviewing this “book” in the next AJL Reviews. I am looking at it 
now and I can classify it as a “paper board book” if there is such a thing. The 
paper is bendable and does not seem to tear easily, thus the popular series is 
called “Indestructibles.” The illustrations are certainly very cute, but I 
would doubt they will be doing Jewish holidays any time soon. Maybe Passover. 
There are dozens of baby-friendly topics in this series, and not all of them 
are by the same illustrator.

One thing to note of interest: all males, babies, kids and adults, are wearing 
black kippot at all times in the illustrations.

Hi, is anyone familiar with this book? I’ve only seen it online and really like 
the illustrations.  I’m wondering if she is Jewish and might do more holiday 
books in the future.

[ha-Safran] Jewish Journal kid's reviews online

[Lisa Silverman via Hasafran]

Hi all,
I have written some reviews of children's books I liked in this week's Jewish 
Journal :  
https://jewishjournal.com/culture/books/304911/for-kids-a-few-good-books-for-a-good-year/

(I still can't figure out why they feel the need to place hugely enlarged 
photos of the book covers, but there's not a thing I can do about it!)

Best wishes to everyone for a happy and healthy new year,
Lisa

[ha-Safran] FW: Mordicai Gerstein: In Memoriam

[Lisa Silverman via Hasafran]

I am forwarding Rich Michelson’s email from today. Mordecai Gerstein was a 2006 
Sydney Taylor Award winner for Sholem’s Treasure, and has written and 
illustrated many other distinguished books so many of us have in our libraries.


R. MICHELSON GALLERIES

is saddened to announce the passing
of our dear friend and artist

Mordicai Gerstein

Mordicai Gerstein at R. Michelson Galleries

Dear Friends,

It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of our dear friend and 
Caldecott winning artist, Mordicai Gerstein. Mordicai will be remembered for 
his warm heart, joyful and kind nature and of course, his extraordinary 
illustrations. Our sympathy goes out to his wonderful wife of thirty-five 
years, Susan Yard Harris, and his children; Aram, and Risa Faye.

R. Michelson Galleries will be honoring Mordicai's work with a special tribute 
at the 30th Annual Children's Illustration Celebration on November 10th.  
Please join us as we celebrate and remember our long time friend.

Mordicai Gerstein and Rich Michelson in 2009

On a personal note, I will miss our monthly lunches discussing poetry, fiction, 
and children's book industry gossip; along with stories about our shared 
passion: the many bicycle trip adventures we each enjoyed. Mordicai was one of 
the first illustrators to join R. Michelson Galleries, and one of the kindest, 
gentlest men I have ever met. May his memory be a blessing.

AJL, Sperber Library, and Jewish Fashion Through the Ages all got a shout-out 
in this article today from the Jewish Journal:

The same exhibit will be on display at our conference in Woodland Hills, 
beginning on Monday.  Unfortunately, the article did not include the proper 
link to the website with all the photos for those of you not going to be at the 
conference, so here is the proper link:

EXCITING NEWS! The Whizin Center for Continuing Education at American Jewish 
University and AJL present a special screening of the acclaimed 2019 
documentary, Who Will Write Our History on Sunday evening, June 16, at 7:30, at 
the Warner Center Marriott Hotel.  Tickets are not included in conference 
registration, so please purchase your $15 ticket at this link:

https://www.aju.edu/whizin-center-continuing-education/events/Film-Screening--Discussion-Who-Will-Write-Our-History-0

This includes a special appearance by producer/director Roberta Grossman in 
conversation with noted Holocaust scholar Dr. Michael Berenbaum.

This critically acclaimed documentary is about a clandestine group of scholars 
and community leaders within the Warsaw Ghetto who fought the Nazis with pen 
and paper by hiding treasured archives that were found after the war. The film 
mixes these writings with new interviews, rarely seen footage and stunning 
dramatizations to transport us inside the Ghetto and the lives of these 
courageous resistance fighters. They defied their murderous enemy with the 
ultimate weapon - the truth - and risked everything so that their archive would 
survive the war, even if they did not.  (More info about the film can be found 
at: https://whowillwriteourhistory.com/)

Please support our efforts to bring you a special Sunday evening conference 
program and help defray the costs by purchasing a ticket!

[ha-Safran] News re the Optional After-Conference Tours

People have been asking us about the optional after-conference tours.

Here are some FAQ's:

1. What is the timing of the tours?
The tour busses will leave from AJU (after the final lunch) at 2:30 on 
Wednesday, June 19th. They will return to AJU by 5:30.

2. What are my tour choices?
You will need to choose which of the three tours you will want to sign up for: 
The Getty Museum and Library Archives (4 miles distance), The Skirball Museum 
and Noah's Ark  (½ mile) or UCLA Library and Archives (6 miles).

3. Am I assured of getting the tour I want?
All tours have a limited amount of people they can take, and it is on a 
first-come basis. You will have to indicate first and second choices.

4. What will I see on each tour?

At the Getty: Kathleen Salomon, Chief Librarian of the Getty Research 
Institute, will lead us in a behind-the scenes tour of the library, including 
special collections from the vault. In addition Elizabeth Morrison, Senior 
Curator of Manuscripts, will show us the newly acquired illuminated 13th 
century Rothchild Pentateuch.

At the Skirball: We will tour Skirball's Library and Archive and the core 
museum collection, then view the Noah's Ark Experience: an award-winning 
children's and family destination. (Explore a floor-to-ceiling wooden ark, 
filled to the rafters with whimsical animals created from recycled materials.)

At UCLA: We will be led on a tour of UCLA's Special Collections at the Charles 
E. Young Research Library. This collection holds a number of Judaica and 
Hebraica treasures. Then take time on your own to walk over to the iconic 
Powell Library, one of the first two buildings constructed in the Italian 
Romanesque style at UCLA's Westwood Campus.

5. Is there an extra charge for these tours?
No, the tours and all admissions are included in your full registration.

6. What if I want to leave from the tour and not go back to AJU?
You can leave from anywhere, but you will need to make sure to bring your 
luggage is on the bus with you. The bus will be waiting in a public location 
nearby until 5 pm, when you board it to return to AJU. You can get your bag 
from the bus at any time. Otherwise, your luggage will be stored at AJU and you 
can get it when you return.

7. If I am leaving from LAX on Thursday morning, how do I get the special hotel 
rate for the airport hotel?
The LAX Hilton has provided us a special rate for Wednesday night of $142.00, 
with airport shuttle provided. You can access the rate on the AJL website. 
Limited rooms available.

8. How do I register for the tours?
After April 15th, everyone who has registered for the conference will receive a 
link by email that will enable you to choose which tour you want.

Help us by keeping the Hospitality Suite organized and looking nice when it is 
open. The snacks will be provided.

4. Welcome Bag Stuffing
Help by collating all of the papers, program books and other goodies to go into 
the welcome bags. Preferably a week before conference, and probably done at AJU.

5. Transportation Help
Help ensure that the attendees assigned to each bus get their luggage and board 
the bus from the hotel to AJU in an orderly fashion on Wednesday, June 19 at 
around 11 a.m.

6. Sign Monitors
Place the session signs into the holders before each session throughout the 
conference.
7. Author Luncheon Manager
This person will get a list of all the invited authors for the Tuesday author 
lunch and make sure each author has an "handler" (from the registered 
attendees) who will meet the author, sit next to him/her and be the direct 
contact for that day. This person will also be responsible for creating a 
simple powerpoint slideshow of the invited authors' photos and book covers to 
be shown at the lunch so attendees will know who is in the room. (The list of 
authors will be announced in April.)
9. Liaison with Local Bookseller
This person will be given a list of all the authors and speakers coming to the 
conference and will work with the local independent bookstore (Book Soup) to 
supply the necessary titles.

10. Minyan Coordinator
We need two volunteers, one for the Orthodox minyan and one for the Egalitarian 
minyan. These coordinators would find out if there is a need for a Monday 
morning minyan since we only start at noon. The coordinators would also make 
sure that registrants know where to find the minyans, what time, etc.

[ha-Safran] name of a book please

[Lisa Silverman via Hasafran]

Hi all,
A patron described a book she remembers and I don't know what it is.  Any help 
is appreciated.

" It is a GRAPHIC NOVEL. A girl (or perhaps a boy, but probably a girl") is 
hidden in a barn during the Holocaust -in (most likely) Poland. There is a dog 
that barks when Nazis come to search the barn and she believes that she is 
saved from death due to this dog.  The book's title may be the name of the dog 
in Polish. It was published about 10 years ago possibly."

[ha-Safran] need help with a high school class

[Lisa Silverman via Hasafran]

Greetings Safranim,

Yikes--A high school senior class in coming in here tomorrow with some specific 
requests. We have to field 15 of these types of questions and I would love to 
hear from any of you who can lead me to any NOVELS or MEMOIRS that we can offer 
to them in regard to these questions:


1.   I am looking for 2-4 fiction books that are written by an Israeli who 
experienced the 1948 war that I can use to compare with another book from after 
the 1967 war because I want to write about the way Israeli war victories impact 
Israeli literature



2.   I am looking for 2-4 fiction books that are written by an Jewish 
orthodox author, that I can compare with another book from a secular Jewish 
author because I want to write about modern 21st century literature written by 
religious Jews vs. that of secular Jews. I would define religious Jews as those 
who identify as observant and look at Judaism as a religion. I would define 
secular Jews as those who identify as Jewish but only as a nationality.


3.   How did Jews in the different time periods of 19th Century Europe, 
World War II and modern day America use literature as a way to deal with 
anti-semitism?


4.   How did Religious and Secular Jews differ in their views of Israel 
from the time it was established and the next 20-30 years? How do Jewish 
authors display their views on a Jewish Homeland through their literature? What 
did Israel represent to each group, as seen through their literature?
