[ha-Safran] Great book on Israel for H.S./young adults

[Petite Safranit via Hasafran]

Noa Tishby, noted actress, director, and producer has written an amazing 
book on why Israel is viewed in a negative light and judged by a double 
standard. She weaves documented, true history with her own accounts of 
growing up in Tel Aviv and her life in the leftist environment of 
Hollywood. She untwists the lies and misinformation on social media, & 
journalism with facts. Do you know the difference between Hamas, 
Hezbollah, and the Palestinian Authority? There are big differences and 
she tells you what they are. She writes that Israel is not perfect and 
has many things to improve upon. Being a Zionist and/or a Jew is not a 
demonic thing and the destruction of Israel can and will never happen. 
Great book for everyone to read.

he be chosen. When he was asked why it was so important to him he 
explained that he was a Kohain, and as a member of the priest tribe he

If you google Jewish science fiction story collections books you will 
find a number of them. I have read a few of them but do not remember 
such a story. I will continue to search.

[ha-Safran] original World Overs and Olomeinu magazines

[Petite Safranit via Hasafran]

From the 70's, a great collection of Jewish info, activities, stories, 
history for all ages. These are not on-line. What a loss to Jewish 
educators and parents. These are the best. Just pay for shipping, or 
pick up if you are local to the Baltimore-DC areas. I hate to give them 
up, but...

Just as an aside, I miss all of you, the conventions, the friendships 
made, the amazing information acquired. Even after being kicked out of 
my library over 10 years ago (after giving blood, sweat, tears, and lots 
of overtime for free for 25 years) because the school wanted save money. 
Oh, well, their extreme loss. I volunteer now in Beit Shemesh, Israel in 
the library there. You can take the librarian out of the library but 
never can you take the librarian out of her/him! The world needs more 
librarians - not more fake info on the internet. Be well and safe.

[ha-Safran] Great blog to share with patrons - The REAL Jerusalem Streets

[Petite Safranit via Hasafran]

A friend of mine who lives in Israel (Jerusalem) has a marvelous Blog 
about what the real Jerusalem is like - not the one portrayed in the 
press. She writes about the many events, beauty, and co-existence in the 
city and takes wonderful photos to show the true Jerusalem. She now has 
a Press Pass and can get into places the average visitor cannot and 
takes great photos with excellent commentary. The name of the blog is 
https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://rjstreets.com__;!!KGKeukY!ji9dxQKcUE3zV4xPEyDufshPwtxOajV1mWhHo8QPCtN8UfS81Ftkj3kOqHiC-988WR77PE2tHrQLBTE$   (real Jerusalem streets).  Very apolitical. For 
her last reporting she had to stay in Tel Aviv for a few days due to the 
bombing from Gaza and she writes and photographs what was happening 
there in the streets of Tel Aviv. Well worth a look and to pass around. 
Your synagogues, community centers, local newspapers, and schools may 
want to contact her for permission to use her work.

[ha-Safran] Peony by Pearl S. Buck

[Petite Safranit via Hasafran]

Would Pearl Buck's _Peony_ be acceptable for this coming month's reads? 
Has anyone read this lately?  (/Peony/(or/The Bondmaid/) is set in the 
1850s in the city of Kaifeng, in the province of Henan, which was 
historically a center for Chinese Jews. The novel follows Peony, a 
Chinese bondmaid of the prominent Jewish family of Ezra ben Israel's, 
and shows through her eyes how the Jewish community was regarded in 
Kaifeng at a time when most of the Jews had come to think of themselves 
as Chinese)

In honor of Jewish American Heritage Month and Asian Pacific American 
Heritage Month (both May), The Book of Life podcast has an interview

co-authors Madelyn Rosenberg and Wendy Wan-Long Shang about how they 
write together, about racial justice, and about hula hoops.

Hi, Shanah Tovah to everyone!

This list is extensive. I would just caution that if it's the grades 
first exposure to the Shoah, care should be taken about which book to 
read. As mentioned there are so many choices, some better than others 
as read-alouds.


/Daniel's Story, /by Carol Matas/,(/Daniel, whose family suffers as 
the Nazis rise to power in Germany, describes his imprisonment in a 
concentration camp and his eventual liberation) is quite stirring.  
There is an exhibit in the United States Holocuast Memorial Museum in 
Washington from this book.


I would like to add books by Kathy Kacer to this list. She is a 
Canadian author who has written a number of quality historic fiction 
and nonfiction books about different experiences during the Shoah, 
such as:
/Gabi's Dresser/ ( Gabi's world is turned upside down when the Nazis 
invade her country of Czechoslovakia. Inspired by the experiences of 
the author's mother),
/The Underground Reporters (/The true story of the response of a group 
of Jewish children and young adults in a small town in Czechoslovakia 
during World War II -- their refusal to be silenced and deprived of a 
chance for self-expression)
/Saving Edith /(he true story of Edith Schwalb, a young Jewish girl 
who was forced into hiding during World War II.)

It just depends on what kind of Holocaust book for youth you are

through:

1947 - The Diary of Anne Frank. First published in the Dutch
language in 1947. Nonfiction. Appeared in English in 1952. Subject

and death.
1970 - The Cigarette Sellers of Three Crosses Square - Ziemian
1970 - Journey to America (and further two others in series) -
Levitin [Similar to Kerr's books]. Subject deals with escape.
1971 - When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit (and further two others in
series) - Kerr [Similar to Levitin's books]. Subject deals with
escape.
1971 - Friedrich - Richter. Originally published in German in
1961. Narrator is a Gentile German boy. Jewish protagonist dies at
the end. Deals with living in Germany under increasing restrictions.
1971 - Code: Polonaise - Wuorio
1972 - I am Rosemarie - Moskin
1972 - The Upstairs Room - Reiss
1973 - To Fight In Silence - Wuorio
1973 - A Pocket full of Seeds - Sachs
1973 - Uncle Misha's Partisans - Suhl
1974 - Bright Candles - Benchley
1975 - On the Other Side of the Gate - Suhl
1976 - Never to Forget: The Jews of the Holocaust - Meltzer
1988 - Devil's Arithmetic - Yolen - Deals with concentration camps
and extermination.
1989 - Number the Stars - Lowry
1992 - Briar Rose - Yolen
1996 - Behind the Bedroom Wall - Williams
1999 - Otto - Ungerer
2006 - Boy in the Stripped Pajamas - Boyne
2007 - The Book Thief - Zasuk
2015 - Stone Angel - Yolen
2016 - Girl in the Blue Coat - Hess
2018 - Mapping the Bones - Yolen

I just started working through this list, so I'll share with you
my impressions, limited as they may be. You probably already know
"The Diary of Anne Frank" (1947 - Frank). I had some difficulty
finding a copy of "Cigarette Sellers" (1970 - Ziemain), so I
skipped that one for a while. A copy just landed in my lap, so I'm
making it my next read. The next two, "Journey to America" (1970 -
Levitin) and "When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit" (1971 - Kerr) are
similar in nature. They both deal with the topic of
escape/refugees, (a topic that is à propos these days,) and each
has two follow-up books. If you are looking to get books into
students' hands, either might be good since there are "Read
Alikes" available, in that if they liked the characters, there are
two more in each series. If they liked the setting and action,
there is the other author's one to read. I recently finished
"Friedrich" (1971 - Richter). This one took me by surprise because

when it was first published. I wonder if this book would be better if 
the class is primarily non-Jewish. Perhaps reading a Holocaust book 
from the Jewish perspective would give them a certain "detachment" as 
if it's just another point in history to have to study. However, by 
reading a book in the eyes of someone like them (non-Jew,) it may 
prompt deeper questions such as "Would I have participated if I were I 
living then?" I also read "Devil's Arithmetic" (1988 - Yolen) and 
"Number the Stars" (1989 - Lowry) when they came out because I was a 
YA then. Yolen's might appeal to the "science-fictiony" reader in the 
way she "transports" the modern reader to the time of the Holocaust, 
instead of simply placing the story wholly in that era. I am looking 
forward to rereading them. I saw the movie Boy in the Striped Pajamas 
(2006) when it came out, and will look forward to actually reading the 
book. It should be noted that the book is criticized in some circles 
for being factually incorrect - 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Boy_in_the_Striped_Pyjamas. Also, 
the author is not Jewish - 
https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2014/oct/03/john-boyne-novelist-catholic-church-abuse-priesthood-boy-in-striped-pyjamas. 
This fact may/may not matter to you. However, there is the issue of 
"cultural approbation" which has been a hot issue in our profession 
(librarianship) of late (see discussion on the recent (non-Holocaust) 
bestseller "American Dirt.") It might be, depending on your audience 
and the lesson, a topic worthy of discussion that you actually /want

Re: [ha-Safran] Yom Ha-Shoah

[Petite Safranit via Hasafran]

Google "videos for children on the Holocaust" or "Holocaust videos for 
elementary ( and middle school) school children". There is a lot out 
there - lesson plans, presentations, all on tape. You can get ideas from 
any of them. Good luck.

Hello Sonia and everyone,

I hope that you and your beloved families are doing well.

My colleague Patricia and I are thinking of planning something for Yom 
HaShoa remotely as well. So any ideas that you all can share are more 
than welcome.


Our warm greetings from Quito, Ecuador.

Hopefully everyone is safe and well.
We are planning a school-wide (K-8) ceremony for Yom Ha-Shoah this
year since learning is remote. We normally have a lower school
commemoration for grades 2-4, run by the 4th graders who present a
Powerpoint on either Janusz Korczak or Hannah Senesh, with some
songs they prepare. Middle school has its own stirring  ceremony
which includes the school choir, readings and  visuals.
I am reaching out to this wonderful group to see if anyone has any
ideas for making this program meaningful to all, yet age
appropriate for the younger children.
Thank you and be well.

[ha-Safran] Fwd: A free, inspiring program for high school students

[Petite Safranit via Hasafran]

Yiddish Book Center
Applications for Great Jewish Books are open.

Yiddish Book Center


Dear fellow Yid,

/“I believed in myself more” … “I learned how important my Jewish 
identity is to me” … “that we have so much to learn in the modern world 
from writers in the past” … “I learned more about inclusivity and being 
open to everyone” … “Applying to this program is one of the best 
decisions I have ever made.”/


These are just a few of the comments we’ve heard from participants of 
the Yiddish Book Center’sGreat Jewish Books Summer Program 
. 
This year’s program, taking place July 26–31 in Amherst, Massachusetts, 
will give rising high school juniors and seniors an opportunity to 
discover the treasures of modern Jewish literature, explore their 
identity, and connect to a vibrant culture through a wide-ranging 
literary canon.


Although the program’s focus is on reading, this is not school in any 
conventional sense: Great Jewish Books is a lively program full of 
social, cultural, and recreational opportunities—and no grades. Students 
spend mornings discussing diverse texts with college professors, 
afternoons engaging in social activities, and evenings listening to 
guest authors. Some of the most meaningful moments happen during the 
in-between time: late-night conversations with peers, lively debates 
during lunch, or lingering discussions with faculty after class. In just 
five days, students make lasting friendships and return home inspired.


And the best part? /Every admitted participant receives a full 
scholarship for the cost of tuition, room, board, books, and special 
events./


If you know any bright, enthusiastic teens who love to read, please 
encourage them to apply today 
. 
Applications are due *March 9*. No specific background—no knowledge of 
languages or writers or Jewish religious or cultural heritage—is 
required. Anyone with an interest in Jewish literature and culture is 
welcome to apply. If you have questions, please don’t hesitate to be in 
touch.


/A sheynem dank/—thank you for helping us spread the word!

Sincerely,

Sylvia sig1.png
Sylvia Peterson
Education Program Manager

PS: If you know any *middle or high school teachers* looking to enrich 
their curricula with modern Jewish literature, let them know about our 
four-week Great Jewish Books Teacher Summer Seminar 
. 
Teachers can learn more here 
 
and apply by March 9.

Re: [ha-Safran] Reply to Question 1, on lasting effects of John Chrysostom's anti-Jewish rhetoric

[Petite Safranit via Hasafran]

/Constantine's Sword/ by James Carrol is excellent. He is a Catholic 
priest and writes of the history of  the Church and the Jews and the 
roots of anti-semitism.  It is almost like an apology for Church 
behavior throughout the ages.


Ilene Wieselthier





On 1/12/19 4:22 PM, Marjorie Gann via Hasafran wrote:
Although I am travelling and don't have my personal library handy, I 
can think of three useful books for your student:


1. Robert Wistrich's /A Lethal Obsession: Anti-Semitism from Antiquity 
to the Global Jihad (/Random House: 2009) is a masterful history of 
anti-Semitism.I would think that the index would take your student 
directly to John Chrysostom. This is a heavy and exhaustive tome, but 
I would be surprised if Wistrich, the greatest historian of 
anti-Semitism of our time, did not  make a connection at some point 
between the Christian roots of anti-Semitism and its mutation into Nazism.


2. Phyllis Goldstein's very accessible survey of the history of 
anti-Semitism, /A Convenient Hatred: The History of Antisemitism/, 
which I believe was published by the Facing History organization with 
high school students in mind (but is solid and unpatronizing) does a 
good job making connections between modern anti-Semitism and Christian 
anti-Semitism.


3.  A book I read many years ago was Joel Carmichael's /The Satanizing 
of the Jews/, published in 1993 (Fromm Intl). I don't have it at hand, 
but my recollection is that it made the point that there was a turning 
point in the history of Jew hatred -- a shift from classical antiquity 
to the time of the early Church Fathers. This was the pivotal time 
when Jews ceased being hated merely because they were different in the 
way other outsiders were different (the classical form) and instead 
were demonized as a cosmic force for evil. If my memory serves me 
correctly, it was to John Chrysostom that the author attributed this 
turn for the worse. It would be worth your student's while to check 
this book out -- although I'm relying on vague memories from something 
I read a couple of decades ago.

My name is Sandra Chikerotis, and I am a student at
Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary. I'm currently working on
my final thesis, which is about John Chrysostom and his treatment
of Jewish peoples in the 4th century. However, the conclusion of
my paper is about the lasting effects  that Chrysostom's hate
filled rhetoric produced, and I wanted to add in some things about
World War 2. I had read that Chrysostom's Against the Jews sermons
were used as nazi propaganda during the war, but I can't find any
example of this or actual reference to this that is more
substantial than mere mention. Do you have any idea where I could
find this information out?

Thank you!

Dear Lisa,
Here are photos of the Nazi materials my father brought home from 
World War II.  He was a navigator who bailed out of a B-17 bomber and 
was held for eleven months at Stalag Luft III, the same German POW 
camp where the “Great Escape” occurred.  In addition to the materials 
in the photos, I have a short  narrative written by my father about 
his experiences, his Nazi prison camp registration card with photo 
where he is identified as a Jew (they told him that, as a Jew, he 
would be the first of the prisoners to be killed).  I also have 
snapshots taken of the prisoners in the POW camp taken with a 
smuggled-in camera.  My father assembled these with captions in a 
scrapbook.
Ideally, these materials would be kept together and displayed.  A 
condition of their accession would be that they would never be sold.  
Thank you for your help!

Re: [ha-Safran] looking for out of print book

[Petite Safranit]

When I look for an out-of-print book, I check Jewishusedbooks.com first. 
(they can be more expensive than other sources, so beware) then I google 
the title.
I look up each suggestion, compare prices and then go to Amazon to see 
their USED book prices for the title. It is usually a flat $3.99 
shipping but I have ordered many way below list price (sometimes 99% 
off) for titles I am searching for. I find that Eichler's and Israel 
Book Store in Boston are rarely well priced. If you do go through retail 
stores, ALWAYS ask for a non-profit, or synagogue discount. Good luck!

Re: [ha-Safran] recommendations

[Petite Safranit]

/Blazing Saddles/ is NOT a "Jewish" comedy. Mel Brooks throws in the 
Yiddish and Yiddish accents but this is NOT in any way Jewish or fit for 
total family viewing. /Frisco Kid/, on the other hand, is an EXCELLENT 
Jewish movie showing devotion to Torah and mitzvot, yet there are scenes 
not suitable for all family members (the saloon scenes, the desecration 
of the Torah, the attempted barrel bashing of the Rabbi...)

Re: [ha-Safran] recommendations

[Petite Safranit]

 Don't forget "Ushpizin" - an excellent film, an oldie, but goody, is 
"Crossing Delancey", "Avalon" from the Barry Levinson trilogy of homage 
to Baltimore. And there is always "Fiddler on the Roof."  I would google 
"Jewish themed movies" and see what comes up.
