[ha-Safran] Digitized journal The Reconstructionist

2024-03-12 Thread Shmuel Ben-Gad via Hasafran
Shalom safranim!

One of our professors has been using an electronic  database of all issues
of The Reconstructionist back to 1937.  (It began in 1935.)  Now tithas
dIsappeared.  It is important for her current research and we are trying to
find out who produced it and if it is possible to have  it resurrected.
The Reconstructionist Rabbinical College has digitized issues on their
website only back to 1986. If any of you can assist us in this please do
so.  We and the professor would be most  grateful.

B'cavod rav.

[ha-Safran] Further information on conferences in the UAE and Israel from my colleague.

"You may want to update the Hasafran mailing list that the IATUL conference
organizers corrected the omission in response to my inquiry; Israel is now
a choice on the registration form.  They should be commended for
responding, in contrast to the ETD conference last year (also in the UAE)
which never responded to my inquiry."

[ha-Safran] Fwd: "Let the World Read and Know": The Warsaw Ghetto's Oneg Shabbat Archives at Warsaw's Jewish Historical Institute, 11/6/22

2022-11-06 Thread Shmuel Ben-Gad via Hasafran

Subject: "Let the World Read and Know": The Warsaw Ghetto's Oneg Shabbat

To:



*"Let the World Read and Know": The Oneg Shabbat Archives*



Sunday, November 6, 2022
2 PM EST | 8 PM CET | 9 PM SAST | 9 PM Israel

This program is hosted by the Ghetto Fighters' House in partnership with
the Jewish Historical Institute in Warsaw, the Polish Institute in
Tel-Aviv, the Grodzka Gate – NN Theatre in Lublin, the Johannesburg
Holocaust & Genocide Center, Liberation 75, Classrooms without Borders, and
the Rabin Chair Forum at George Washington University.

*Opening Remarks:*
Monika Krawczyk, Director of the Jewish Historical Institute (JHI)

*Guest Speakers:*
Dr. Natalia Aleksiun

*Who were they?Emanuel Ringelblum and the Oneg Shabbat Writers*

Dr. Katarzyna Person
*The Ringelblum Archive and the Jewish Historical Institute*


>From the moment that its existence became widely known, the Ringelblum
Archive (also known as the Underground Archive of the Warsaw Ghetto) was
widely regarded as a collection of unusual significance. Under the
initiative of historian Emanual Ringelblum, a group of social activists
incarcerated in the Warsaw Ghetto created the archive between 1940 and 1943
with the aim to document the persecution of Jews in occupied Poland.
Emulating the working principles of YIVO (Yidisher Visnshaftlekher
Institut, Yiddish Scientific Institute), the Warsaw group gathered and
produced a total of 35,000 pages of documents, in Polish, Yiddish, Hebrew,
and German and stowed them away secretly within the Ghetto. Among the
documents were diaries, accounts from approximately 300 Jewish communities
from the whole territory of occupied Poland, school essays, research works,
and official German documents: like posters, identification cards, and food
ration cards. There were also some 70 photographs and over 300 drawings and
paintings.

The Archive was retrieved in parts from the ruins of the Warsaw Ghetto:
Part I (concealed on August 3, 1942) was found on September 18, 1946, and
Part II (concealed in early February 1943) was found on December 1, 1950.

Who were the people who created this archive?  Dr. Natalia Aleksiun will
share with us her research on the main contributors to one of the most
important archives that was written as the events were happening.

In her presentation, Dr. Katarzyna Person will discuss the academic
significance of the archive and the methods used to bring this
extraordinary collection to the wider public.

Re: [ha-Safran] Request for suggestion of novel about Fascism's rise

2018-11-06 Thread Shmuel Ben-Gad via Hasafran
This is probably not the sort of book the patron has in mind, but The Code
of the Woosters by P.G. Wodehouse has a character, Roderick Spode, who is a
spoof of Oswald Moseley, leader of the British Union of Fascists.Spode's
fascist group is called the Black Shorts.

[ha-Safran] handwriting conversion

2018-07-08 Thread Shmuel Ben-Gad
Dear Safranim,

One of our professors visited some Dutch archives and says the handwriting
of some of the early Dutch documents he was consulting are difficult to
read.  He has heard of software that converts handwriting to a typed text
file.  I thought maybe some of you who deal with old manuscripts might know
something about this. If any of you do, please e-mail me.

B'chavod rav.

[ha-Safran] New Exhibit ishowcases the life and work of Dr. William Perl

2018-05-03 Thread Shmuel Ben-Gad
 *New Exhibit in George Washington University's Gelman Library showcases
the life and work of Dr. William Perl*
*Running from May 2018 until May 2020 *

Please consider visiting Special Collections' latest exhibit, "William
Perl: Man of Action," highlighting the dynamic and controversial life of
William R. Perl (1906-1998.) A psychologist, lawyer, and a militant
activist on behalf of Jewish causes, Perl is best known for his part in
organizing clandestine Jewish immigration from Nazi-controlled Europe to
British Mandatory Palestine. Drawing largely from the William R. Perl papers
<https://library.gwu.edu/ead/ms2026.xml> held at Gelman Library, the
exhibit considers this work as well as Perl's role in the war crimes trials
after World War II, the rescue of his wife Lore from Soviet-controlled
Vienna,, and his participation in the Jewish Defense League's efforts to
promote the emigration of Jews from the Soviet Union.

This small exhibit, on display outside of the Kiev Reading Room (Gelman
room 710,) is accessible whenever Gelman Library is open. Non-GW guests
will need to show photo ID at the entrance to Gelman Library in order to
gain access to the exhibit space.

Fellowship Program must be conducting research in the field of 18th-20th
century Jewish history, Hebrew literature, Jewish art or Hebrew booklore.
Candidates may come from a variety of disciplines including, but not

   - A letter together with a research proposal (max. 4 pages) outlining
   the scope of their project and indicating those materials from the Kiev
   Collection and/or other Judaica collections in the Special Collections

   - Two letters of support, preferably from academic colleagues. For
   graduate and doctoral students, one of the letters must be from a

*The I. Edward Kiev Judaica Collection was established in 1996 by Dr. Ari
and Phyllis Kiev with the donation of the private library of Dr. Kiev’s
father, Rabbi I. Edward Kiev (1905-1975), one of the preeminent Judaica
librarians of the 20th century. In 1998, the Kiev Room was dedicated to
house the collection – along with supplementary collections of Jewish
graphic art, archives, printed and recorded music, ephemera, artifacts and
ritual objects - and to provide a reading room for researchers. *

One of our patrons is looking for information on Zohar Carthy and
information seems scarce.  I have found very few reference to, or mentions
of, her.  She seems to have been involved with the Council for a Beautiful

[ha-Safran] Jewish applicants to conservatories

2014-03-19 Thread Shmuel Ben-Gad
Shalom Safranim.

A colleague has received a question from a student.  She describes it
below.  If you have any suggestions, please let me know.

The student wants applicant data for major European conservatories to
crunch the numbers re: Russian Jew violinists at the turn of the century.
His professor has suggested this, or at least okayed it. I've been looking
in WorldCat for books on the history of conservatories in Europe and in
specific countries, but that doesn't seem to be much help. Aside from
contacting the conservatories themselves, does anyone have any ideas? The
applicant figures would have to include the numbers of Jewish students who
applied. I'm just not convinced this information even exists--that these
records would still be around.

The student adds this:

Of course, they could include: University of Music and Theatre Leipzig,
The Paris Conservatorie, University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna,
and the Royal College of Music London. I reread my email, and I am afraid I
erred slightly. In particular I am looking for applicants to these schools
circa 1890s-1914 that were registered as being *Jewish*.

Executive Director of the storied YIVO Institute for Jewish Research in New
York, explores the fate of books and manuscripts first hidden from the
Nazis and then the Soviets, only to spend the past forty years under lock

TH STREET, NW

*In a stirring tale of restoration and renewal, Jonathan Brent, the
Executive Director of the storied YIVO Institute for Jewish Research in New
York, explores the fate of books and manuscripts first hidden from the
Nazis and then the Soviets, only to spend the past forty years under lock
and key in the basement of a church in Vilna. Haunting his imagination,
these long lost treasures are likely to haunt ours as well. *

Someone is looking for the essay U-vikashtem mi-sham by Yosef Soloveitchik.
An English translation was published by Ktav in 2008).  She thinks it
originally appeared in a journal Ha-Darom in 1978.  If anyone  happen to
have a copy they would be willing to lend or scan or photocopy and send,
please let me know.

[ha-Safran] More on the Encyclopedia of Hebrew Language and Linguistics Online

2013-07-17 Thread Shmuel Ben-Gad
Shalom Safranim,

I sent a message to HaSafran on July 3rd regarding Brill's Encyclopedia of
Hebrew Language and Linguistics Online. I have since learned what I did not
realize before, that the terms of our purchase in fact conform to standard
practice.

B'chavod rav.

[ha-Safran] Encyclopedia of Hebrew Language and Linguistics

2013-07-03 Thread Shmuel Ben-Gad
Shalom Safranim.

Our library recently purchased this.  I blame myself for not asking  more
timely questions of Brill (the publisher) of the possibility of any fees
aside from the purchase price.  I was thinking of maintenance fees and was
told there are not any but that they intend to add material to the
encyclopedia and that, as material is added,, there  would likely be f fees
to cover that starting in 2014 or 2015.   In response. to further
questioning, the sales representative said that, if a library chose not to
pay further fees in the future, the company could  send a disk wit the
material purchased that could be loaded on aservers but would not have the
finvttionality of the platform. None of this was mentioned in any of the
promotional material I read.  I assumed purchase meant a one time payment,
period.

So please be warned.  And also, based upon thisexperience, I suggest asking
very probing questions if you are considering purchasing anything
electronic from Brill.

B'chavod rav.

The I. Edward Kiev Judaica Collection was established in 1996 by Dr. Ari
and Phyllis Kiev with the donation of the private library of Dr. Kiev’s
father, Rabbi I. Edward Kiev (1905-1975), one of the preeminent Judaica
librarians of the 20th century. In 1998, the Kiev Room was dedicated to
house the collection – along with supplementary collections of Jewish
graphic art, archives, printed and recorded music, ephemera, artifacts and
ritual objects - and to provide a reading room for researchers.
