[ha-Safran] Music books free !

[Rayzel Raphael via Hasafran]

As someone who has participated in past Shalshelet* Festivals, you may be 
interested in this exciting opportunity to broaden the reach of the music 
previously presented and recognized at the Festivals. A limited number of 
Festival materials (Songbooks from 2008, 2010, and 2013, and a thumb drive from 
2016) are still available. Each volume contains selections grouped for 
different purposes: holidays, life cycle events, different types of liturgical 
texts and themes, and a mix of solo and choral music (including music for young 
singers).
 
We are not selling these materials and the thought of recycling them is painful.
 
We hope you can help us find homes for them in places such as your collection, 
libraries of colleagues, synagogues, day schools, choral directors, etc. There 
may be interest beyond the Jewish world as well: secular K-12 and 
college/university schools often struggle to find text and music for Jewish 
holidays.

I volunteered to contact you with this offer. If you are interested in 
receiving copies of the materials, or know someone who might be, please provide 
your mailing address  <>on this form 
 no later than November 15, 2024. Materials will be mailed free of charge 
within the United States by December 31, 2024. If you want to send materials 
outside the United States, we will contact you individually about shipping 
costs. After that date, unfortunately, all leftover materials will be recycled.
 
We greatly value the creative work of composers and all those who contributed 
to bringing this wealth of new Jewish music into our world, and want to 
continue its reach.  
 
If you are interested in seeing the Table of Contents from each book, you can 
look at them here 
.
 
If you have questions, or want more information, please don’t hesitate to 
contact me.

* Shalshelet: The Foundation for New Jewish Liturgical Music held its last 
International Festival in 2016 and is no longer officially in operation. We do 
want to reiterate that the music - your music - reached communities around the 
world through the Festival Songbooks and CDs that Shalshelet published.__

[ha-Safran] Kuklya Family Books THE BOOKS need to

[Rayzel Raphael via Hasafran]

My distant cousin Ian Levine has published a huge family tree  of the family of 
the noted Rabbi,  the “Levush", among  many others. It was a massive 
undertaking using Ancestry, historical records, visits to meet cousins all over 
the world. The collection of books include: THE KUKLYA ENCYCLOPEDIA
THE EXTENDED KUKLYA FAMILY TREE
KUKLYA
THE KUKLA CHRONICLES
THE KUKLA CHRONICLES UPDATE
and a novel about the family..
It was an extradordinary undertaking and these books belong in libraries.  you

Re: [ha-Safran] Hasafran Digest, Vol 616, Issue 4

[Rayzel Raphael via Hasafran]

I got this  request from another list: would love your suggestions:

 
I’m hearing from community members who want to help their public schools
find resources to teach about antisemitism in age-appropriate ways.
 
 
I’m specifically looking for resources that are appropriate for grades
K-4th, which perhaps might be less for the students and more for the
parents. What might you suggest that is appropriate for parents of children
from any religion?

[ha-Safran] Nechama Minyon

[Rayzel Raphael via Hasafran]

I thought I’d let this list know about the Nechama Minyon I started that is on 
gong for anyone who wants to say kaddish, pray  for healing and have spiritual 
support:
 

The Nechamah Minyon meets nightly at 9pm eastern, 6 pm pacific, except Friday. 
I started it in January 2021 to say kaddish for my mother Natalie Robinson, 
(Nechama Leah bat Elke v Chayim). Since then it has become much more. At this 
point, the Nechamah minyon not only is meaning something to me personally,  but 
 also serving a wider cause that is beyond time and space.   It is serving to 
connect people across denominational lines; people whom need a place to pray; 
to grieve;  to heal; to experiment with different forms and modalities of 
prayer; and to be a container for the end of the day. It has helped us relax 
into  the night and to soothe sleepless souls - and to connect people who 
haven’t seen each other in a long time.

It is different every night -depending on who is leading - so come a few times 
to get an array of musical, liturgical, meditative, poetic styles before you 
judge the whole experience…and just jump in - or out - when you want:)

[ha-Safran] two books to recommend

[Rayzel Raphael via Hasafran]

I  read Menachem’s Book Plunder, Couldn't put it down and plowed through it in 
a few days.

I  don’t know how he made a “deadening” wade through Polish bureaucracy  to 
find his grandfathers inheritance sound interesting enough to read a book about 
it…but he does. The book takes many different turns and surprizes, and 
adventures along the way- which are fascinating….. and yet is is the “Man’s 
search for meaning” aspect of the book that gives it it depth of character. 
There is enough humor, suspense,  and mystery about Nazi treasure to be 
entertaining, and the shear dedication- and tenacity- to the task of connecting 
to his family lost legacy is admirable.

I also read “  The Unanswered letter” another  “third  wave” holocaust book 
searching to piece a family story back together. It  is also profound in is 
thoroughness, and surprizes along the way.

I can recommend both these books.. they are examples of how we are still trying 
to understand and piece together so much that was lost during the war.

feminine, gender-neutral, and/or also those that create gender balance and 
inclusion. 

Co-hosting the event are: Rabbi Goldie Milgram, Rabbi Geela Rayzel Raphael and 
Prof. Dr. Sarah Ross.

HER HOLY NAMES concert is part of a Jewish feminist music-themed initiative 
called Adding Our Voices (AOV): The Torah of Jewish Women in Song that began as 
a Jewish feminist songbook project some thirty years ago under the leadership 
of award-winning singer-songwriter-recording artist-ritualist Rabbi Geela 
Rayzel Raphael.

  
 
Adding our Voices is a project of Reclaiming Judaism, a non-profit dedicated to 
Jewish education.  This Jewish feminist songbook project’s goal is normalize 
gender inclusion in prayer and Jewish music.  For over 20 years Rabbi Rayzel 
Raphael, Sarah Ross PHD and Rabbi Goldie Milgram have been collecting, notating 
and cataloging new feminist music to highlight the innovations 
singer/songwriters have brought to Jewish tradition.  The songbook is at a 
critical juncture, with the pandemic providing opportunities to showcase the 
material and performers on zoom platforms.


Composers, performers and works featured in this concert series come from the

[ha-Safran] Miracles happen in a pandemic when you follow your heart!

[Rayzel Raphael via Hasafran]

Last April when the pandemic hit, - and all of my wedding clients postponed 
their ceremonies- I needed to do something. I was motivated to create healing 
services, and raise money for tzedakah for Covid relief. I followed the calling 
of my heart and began to organize zoom galas on the Aleph platform.  I ended up 
hosting 5 cross denominational programs with 200- 600 participants on each! 
With helpers, I raised a lot of money; gave artists/musicians/teachers a 
platform to showcase their work; and created a forum to keep our souls 
uplifted. 

Today I’m happy to say I’m going to working more officially with Aleph as the 
Director Of Spiritual Arts  (part time) and will be curating more of these 
programs in the coming months.  It feels exciting to begin the new year with 
visioning something beautiful into being.

My intentions behind these are:
-to honor holy space and time with joy, love and spiritual meaning
-to support artists, teachers, singer songwriter, authors, clergy, 
emerging/diverse creative Jewish voices, JPOC, LGBTQ and others affected by the 
pandemic
-to raise money for non-profits at this time of need

So consider this an invitation: 
if you have ever wanted to present "your Torah" to a large audience; 
if you have books or CDs or art projects to promote; 
if you like to teach, sing or dance, do yoga/body movement;  
have a story from Jewish tradition to share; 
or just want to feel like you are part of the bigger Web of Comfort that is 
holding people’s spirits aloft during this time……

Please email me with an offering for the upcoming programs- or a Save my Name 
for the future: rray...@shechinah.com ( alternate: shechina...@verizon.net

The first event will be Saturday night September 19th, second evening of Rosh 
Hashanah… we have found that many people who attend do not have have a 
spiritual home/congregation and will need a place to feel connected.

Seeking teachers, musicians, artists, meditators, authors, astrologists, cooks, 
embodied artists, poets, and more -to help launch a sweet new year with a zoom 
offering.  
Themes for INVITING IN THE SWEETNESS: ROSH HASHANAH Content can include but not 
limited to: blessing the year, gematria interpretations of the year, 
traditional and new melodies; artistic renditions; blessings; shofar 
blowing/teaching; recipes/demonstration/seder foods; Torah vorts; what we've 
learned  this past year; teshuva, (repentence;) t’flilah(prayer); tzedakah 
(charity); Torah interpretation; how to (literally) move into the new year 
gracefully; honey and bees; kavvanot; messages to heed for the new year; 
uplifting blessings, etc.

AND SUKKOT:


The second event will be during SUKKOT SHAZOOM, Sunday evening October 4
Themes include but not limited to: joy; water/Beit ha-shoevah; harvest; 
multicultural/interfaith; shelter; sukkah torah; feasting; showcase your sukkah 
decorations; ushpizin/invited holy guests; kabbalah of sukkot; fragility, 
sitting; history of sukkah; environmentai issues; how to build a sukkah; 
rain;prayers, hoshanot rituals; lulav/etrog and more…

Please respond to 
rray...@shechinah.com 

with either SWEETNESS in the subject line or SUKKOT SHAZOOM

Blessings for the turning,
and miracles in the new year!

[ha-Safran] Ezra’s BIG Shabbat Question.

[Rayzel Raphael via Hasafran]

Hello Librarians,

 

In an effort to get more books authored by Jews of Color into our libraries, 
Rabbi Jane Rachel Litman and I have been working with Jamie Aviva Brown, Author 
of Ezra’s BIG Shabbat Question 
<https://www.avivabrown.com/shop/ezras-shabbat-question>.  This is a wonderful 
book which features a diverse Jewish family.

 

The author only has a limited number of copies of the book still available 
(Amazon is sold out), which you can buy at https://avivabrown.com 
<https://avivabrown.com/>.   Jane and I are underwriting ten books @  $10 each 
so that the first ten libraries who respond will get the book for half cost.  
Use the discount code JL50 when ordering.

For more info, you can email Jamie at  av...@springlightpublishing.com 
<mailto:av...@springlightpublishing.com>
 

L'shalom,

[ha-Safran] books by people of color

[Rayzel Raphael via Hasafran]

The Color of Love by Marra Gad

Swirl Girl by Taressa Stoval

Ahava by Tarece Johnson


All three of these women are  extremely thoughtful.  The first two are hot off 
the press.  Ahava is slightly dated, but a beautiful book of poetry.

Lots of people talked about how to support the struggle.  Buying these books 
supports Black Jewish women.  Another great book is a children's book:

THANK YOU

Rabbi Rayzel

Internet Kavannah 5780

As my fingers fly over the keyboard, may I send out only loving, healing and 
clarifying messages.  Oh Great Cosmic Force Within Us and Around Us help me 
feel the connection to the other beings in this technological web. Angels of 
Discernment, grant me the ability to decide which petitions are urgent and 
which can be deleted with joy. Infinite Source of Calm and Patience, grant 
serenity to those who do not hear back from me right away or who are irritated 
by typos.  May all those who read this feel blessed to be alive at this time of 
great transformation and potential.
 Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, 
but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting "Holy 
Shechinah...what a ride"and by the way "Who let the morning people 
run things?"
 May angelic beings guide your way today.

[ha-Safran] Jewish Views of the Afterlife - here is correct code for discount purchase

[Rayzel Raphael via Hasafran]

Sorry I sent the wrong code:
I am honored to announce that that my husband’s  3rd edition of Jewish Views of 
the Afterlife has been published. 

This new, 25th-anniversary edition has expanded material on the Kabbalistic 
doctrine of gilgul/reincarnation, an entirely new chapter on "Spirits, Ghosts 
and Dybbuks in Yiddish Literature", and a new Foreword by Rabbi Arthur Green, 
the renowned scholar of Jewish mysticism.

Individuals can order the book in print or eBook edition from Rowman and 
Littlefield at 30% off list price with Promo Code RLFANDF30. 

https://rowman.com/ISBN/9781538103456/Jewish-Views-of-the-Afterlife-Third-Edition
 
<https://rowman.com/ISBN/9781538103456/Jewish-Views-of-the-Afterlife-Third-Edition>

"Jewish Views of the Afterlife is a profound and comprehensive guide to the 
multiplicity of Jewish perspectives on death, the soul, and eternal life. The 
book includes Jewish perspectives on heaven and hell, ancestors and the 
underworld, reincarnation and resurrection. A cornucopia of primary sources and 
commentary illuminate the development of a variety of Jewish beliefs about the 
afterlife, spanning centuries of Jewish history. Raphael’s book is both 
well-organized and sensitive to the power of this topic. There is no other book 
like this—it is a treasure."
— Rabbi Jill Hammer, director, Spiritual Education at the Academy for Jewish 
Religion

-

LGBTQ Jews.

 

 

Professor Marla Brettshneider:

 coming out in 2018 or early 2019

** A Special JEWISH ISSUES of the Journal of Lesbian Studies

My intro to that volume should serve as a great reference of lots of lesbian 
(mostly) Jewish work…

 

My 2 othe rfull-length  lgbtq works in 2017 and 2018 aren’t specifically Jewish

 

But my:

2016 Jewish Feminism and Intersectionality is jewish & queer

 

And my:

2015 The Jewish Phenomenon in Sub-Saharan Africa: The politics of contradictory 
discourses has feminist and queer stuff in it- when NO other work in the field 
does.

 

I would also include Joyce’s new book- has more on lesbians that MOST works

Antler, Joyce. Jewish Radical Feminism: Voices from the Women's Liberation 
Movement. New York, NY: New York University Press, 2018.

[Rayzel Raphael via Hasafran]

Diane, this is amazing!

for example: “rabbis"

I took a quick peek and I could suggest many more so if you are open to it I 
would be willing to solicit some more links for you

[ha-Safran] topics for adult ed

[Rayzel Raphael]

One of the best topics for scholar in resident

Jewish Views of the Afterlife

I know because my husband speaks on this and he's gone almost very weekend
and speaks to large crowds. 
Our aging communities are looking for answers and guidance:

Heres his website:

http://www.daatinstitute.net

and usually funeral homes will co-sponsor and pay for it!

[ha-Safran] Questions re : libraries finding authors?

[Rayzel Raphael]

Besides this list serve, 
how do all of you in libraries find out about new releases? How do you decided 
what to buy? Is it based on reviews? Needs on your shelves? ( Of course budget)
but are are there annual Jewish book fairs- Besides the Jewish book council? 
Are there catalogues? I’m wondering what the best way for independent authors 
to let folks know of their offerings in the age of self- publishing?

I’ve been approached by a marketing company, but I have no idea if thats the 
best way to get it to my market. Are there Jewish book marketing companies - 
besides Berhman and Kar-ben who do their own….?

Any advice appreaciated!

[Rayzel Raphael]

I am so excited to announce my new children's book, Angels for Dreamtime, has 
been released today in time for Hanukah!  
It is beautifully illustrated and explains about Jewish traditions about angels 
as a bedtime story. It includes angels who tell  each blade of grass to grow, 
the angels who  call to Abraham and Hagar and of course, the archangels 
Micheal, Gabriel, Uriel and Raphael- and many more!  My official press release 
is coming, but wanted to get this out,  If you order it today, get  expedited 
shipping to get it in time!
