Hello, thanks for responding..
I messaged you about, I was looking for a 1923 film, called. Der eisenkonig.    
Which means,   the iron king. Starring jewish strongman, zishe (siegmund) 
breitbart. 

Hi, no I haven't found the film yet. It is I think an Australian film. And 
breitbart was a Jewish hero to the Jewish people. Any help, or any film, 
newsreels etc on siegmund breitbart, is greatly appreciated. I hope you can 
locate it. I heard there was a copy in tel aviv, in the 1980s, until terrorists 
destroyed that city.

Re: [ha-Safran] Beth David Library (Reform) in Westminster California is Being cut in half.

2023-07-13 Thread xmarxts--- via Hasafran
Interesting. I’m sending this off to my Rabbi. He s young and game for 
challenges and change. Our synagogue’ s library has become a dumping ground. We 
never had a librarian , nor any library programs. I always say , as Jews , we 
are people of  the book twice blessed. Let’s showcase our libraries anyway 
possible. Whether to our own congregations or to the public, for Jewish 
communities, holidays, personalities( books on Anne Frank Ruth Bader Ginsberg, 
various sports players) .)history ( the Holocaust), and books discussing 
intolerance ,immigration and of course values, mitzvot  . B Shalom Wendy a.

synagogue libraries in Seattle. The first cut back librarian hours to the point 
of ridiculousness back in 2017 and still has no librarian. The other had me 
remove 1/3 of their collection to change the library to a multi-use room. All 
both needed, in my opinion, was more promotion from the clergy and staff plus 
displays in the foyer. The pandemic certainly made the situation even worse as 
people were not in the building for 2 years and even now, things are still 
hybrid.
My take on the demise of time and/or money investment in synagogues libraries 
is 1) Many do not think of checking the synagogue library collection for 
specific titles or browsing like they do the public libraries. 2)  Many people 
nowadays do not value serendipity or the library experience. They buy books 
online or visit independent bookstores. 3) synagogues themselves are changing 
and having to make tough financial choices. 4) Clergy and staff do not promote 
library usage - I cannot explain that one at all! 
This is all especially sad because our Jewish youth are not getting exposed to 
good quality Judaic literature from a curated collection. Books with Jewish 
themes or characters are buried in school and public libraries. 
Thanks to AJL, at least we have access to great recommendations to award 
winning Jewish books. We just have to do our best to promote them. Even sadder 
than the loss of these synagogue libraries is the loss of so many regional JCC 
or Jewish public libraries! 
keep up the good work, AJL!

My library at Beth David in Westminster, California is being cut in half.  They 
need the classroom for the Youth Lounge.  The Youth Lounge is being turned into 
a preschool classroom to make more money for the synagogue as the Preschool has 
a waiting list.The 1,100 childrens and teen books are going into the Religious 
School Directors office. The 100 reference books are going into the Rabbi's 
office. 400 of the 1800 adult fiction and non-fiction books are staying in the 
new Youth Lounge.  The remaining 1,400 or 1,500 books are going away.  This is 
a nightmare to eliminate the books that are going away from my ResourceMate 
catalog.  Has anyone else had to deal with this?  I have been the Volunteer 
Librarian there for 10 years.

It's been a big undertaking and I am excited and grateful to share that we are 
expanding our team to add a new role, starting with our next issue. 
Ellen Drucker-Albert will be stepping into a newly created position, Assistant 
Editor-in-Chief. She will, for the short term, continue her work as a reviews 
co-editor, during this transition period.
 Ellen will take lead with the day to day oversight of the reviews, while I 
will still be involved as they are ready for publication. I can't tell you how 
grateful I am to Ellen for agreeing to help out the team. Please join me in 
congratulating Ellen on this new role!

Shabbat Shalom. 
Sally

Subject: Re: [ha-Safran] Michelle Chesner library support Hi Ilka,
It's a good question. In my view, a bet midrash is a space where there are 
books meant to be used in the space - which is different than a library (with 
someone actively curating a collection which can also be lent out to users). 
But I certainly am open to other thoughts!  In this case, I was specifically 
looking for synagogue librarians in Orthodox libraries.
Thanks,Michelle

What are the criteria for calling the books in a dedicated space a  library.  
My synagogue has a library of mostly seforim (religious books, tanach 
,commentaries in both Hebrew and English) which teachers use in classes given 
at the synagogue.  Does that qualify for the support the donor would like to 
give to a synagogue library?

Re: [ha-Safran] Who taught the course on Romanization of Hebrew at YIVO?

2021-10-31 Thread xmarxts via Hasafran
Whenever I see Dr . Haas Weinberg s name I  am always so thrilled! She was  my 
professor at St. John s University when I was a library student . Little did I 
know in 1984 I’d end up a Judaica librarian as at the time I was working at 
theUNITED NATIONS, let alone become President of theLong Island chapter of 
AJL!! 
I was in awe of her intelligence as my professor! She taught indexing and 
abstracting and for our end of term paper, we needed to index a short book or 
pamphlet .I was a library clerk in the map  room  of the UN LIBRARYsbd so  I 
indexed the pamphlet describing the flag of Australia . Something she didn’t 
know( as most people don’t know either) I taught her the teRm, Vexillology , 
the study and  history of flags . The UN MAP COLLECTION LIBRARY housed all the 
info regarding each flag (and then some) of all the flags that waved and still 
wave UN front of the UN! 
I loved my time at SJU School of library science! Shabbat Shalom Wendy

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

2021 Fanny Goldstein Merit Award Winner Announced


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 the 
face-to-face conference that she had planned, into AJL’s first Virtual 
Conference. This year, Rachel is coordinating all the programming for the 2021 
Virtual Conference and working with the planning committee to ensure that the 
divisions get the program they desire.This year she has also been moderating 
AJL’s “Serving Students” Virtual Roundtable and facilitated the Purim book 
discussion. 


Since the spring of 2020, Rachel has delivered over 20 Zoom presentations on 
Jewish fiction for Hadassah, the Women’s League for Conservative Judaism, 
American Jewish University, and the Judaica Network of Metropolitan Chicago, as 
well as for synagogues and Jewish groups across the country. She also 
facilitates book discussions for five Chicago area synagogues as well as for 
other organizations and private groups.

 

In addition to all of the above, Rachel has been the chair of the Sydney Taylor 
Book Award Committee, continues to provide Bibliography for the AJL 
Bibliography files, and recently accepted
