ToTaFoS Amalia W wrote: I have very few resources at home to settle an argument on the meaning of the word ?? in Deuteronomy Chapter 6 verses 4-10. One said that it means a box and another said that it is ornament (Even Shoshan) . I said that it is neither, it is how it was taken literally. I am guessing that the word whose meaning you are seeking is in Deut 6:8, tet-tet-feh-sof ToTaFoS. The JPS translation is "frontlets". The customary translation today is "phylactery", a Greek word φυλακτήριο of unknown origin that is usually translated as "amulet, talisman". But the question remains: What was the meaning of the Hebrew word at the time it was first written. In his Etymological Dictionary of the Hebrew Language (for readers of English), Ernest Klein wrote: 1 band, frontlet-band, 2 PBH phylactery. [Of uncertain origin. Perhaps formed from taf-feh-taf-feh-vav-sof, from taf-feh-taf-feh , Pi of nun-taf-feh (=to drop), whence nun-taf-yod-feh-heh (= pendant), cp. taf-feh-taf-feh-sof.] The Online Etymological Dictionary traces the word "phylactery" to Greek phylax (guardian, watcher, protector) a word of unknown origin... and says The Custom of wearing it is based on a literal reading of scripture (in) Deuteronomy 11:18. I note that Klein uses the spelling with a vav found in Deut 11:18 and not without a vav as in Deut 6:8. My own thought is that Hebrew sometimes reverses a word to produce its antonym. For example: The parsha (weekly portion of the Torah) Miketz (Genesis 41:1 - 44:17) describes the travels of Joseph's brothers to Egypt. When they stood before Joseph, they did not realize he was their brother. One reason is that Joseph spoke with them through the interpreter, המליץ, haMeiLiTZ as if he did not understand Hebrew. This word occurs only once (hapex legomenon) in Tanakh with this meaning, at Genesis 42:23. The oral tradition says the מליץ MeiLiTZ was Menasha, Joseph's older son. Egyptian was written with hieroglyphics / pictures. The Hebrew root for image (make a picture) is צלם TZeLeM. To translate from Egyptian to other languages is to un-picture, hence, the reversal toמליץ MeiLiTZ. Deut 6:4-9 begins with the SHeMa3 prayer which is a 5:7:5 haiku in Hebrew, older than any attested Japanese haiku. Verses 6 and 7 emphasize the meaningfulness and importance of "these words". So it is possible that tet-tet-feh is a reversal of peh-tet-tet which means to prattle, chatter, babble ... that is, to utter meaningless words. So, perhaps ToTaFoS = important, meaningfui words.

Re: [ha-Safran] Fwd: Seeking titles of Controversial Books onArab-Israeli Conflict
Dear Mrs. Kinberg, It goes without saying that students at the impressionable age need to learn about both sides. The challenger becomes clear when it is unsupervised reading, like when the book is a part of the summer reading and the teacher does not dedicate time for discussion on each book. The conflict is so complicated that one lesson of 45 minutes is not enough. Unfortunately most public school teachers and even Jewish educators have minimal knowledge of the Israeli-Arab conflict. Does the reader about the “Palestinian child whose only experience of Jews is as fully armed soldiers” know about the child that will remain disabled for the rest of her life because of a bomb on the bus ? This is not the place for discussion on the Israeli Arab conflict. The books on the list below (I’m nor familiar with all) are not balanced for sure. I underhand Marjorie’s concerns that some books used in PUBLIC schools are extremely hostile to Israel. I hope to hear from Marjorie when she completes her research, Amalia Warshenbrot Dear Marjorie Gann, I appreciate your close look at books for young readers about Israel and the Palestinian people, and your invitation to comment. In my work as librarian at Temple Beth Emeth in Ann Arbor, I have curated a collection of books for young Jewish people that includes diverse Palestinian points of view and I am pleased that our library offers diverse points of view from Jewish, Israeli, and Palestinian writers that help our young people become critical thinkers. My library includes, several books on your list: The Cat at the Wall (2014) Naomi Shihab Nye: Habibi (1997) Golbarg Bashi: P Is for Palestine: A Palestine Alphabet Book (2018) Leanne Lieberman, The Book of Trees (2010) Pamela L. Laskin, Ronit & Jamil (2017) I was surprised that you called several titles "distortions of history or complicit in stereotyping or demonizing," specifically Tasting the Sky (which is on my to order list), Habibi, and Ronit and Jamil. I would appreciate seeing a list of titles from a Palestinian point of view that you would recommend. I'll never forget a lecture I attended by Marc Tessler, author of the massive A History of the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict, when he told the story of a several year convening of Jewish and Palestinian historians in which the participants never came to agreement on the facts. Last year I taught our high schoolers a class on looking at points of view in Jewish and Palestinian children's books on Israel/Palestine. The class was wiser than me at the time. They pointed out that readers should not expect books to be "fair" and "balanced," particularly when involving difficult issues. Rather, readers should expect and be aware of bias. I hope you understand that I am not saying the Jewish narrative we are familiar with is false, but it leaves out the Palestinian experience. A book including a Palestinian child whose only experience of Jews is as fully armed soldiers may be a true reflection of a Palestinian child's experience. It's our crucial (and even sacred) responsibility as educators to fill out the picture, but suppressing pieces of it that are truthful within their own sphere doesn't help children who need to deal with a complex world when they grow up. I also have had the experience of being asked by a public school teacher who had assigned A LITTLE PIECE OF GROUND, to teach a class on the book. That was a very challenging experience, as I was tempted to try to give a lecture on the whole Israeli/Palestinian conflict. I am very interested in hearing from others about experiences applying the values of critical reading of these books in the public school setting.

[ha-Safran] Seeking titles of Controversial Books on Arab-IsraeliConflict
Here, In North Carolina, one of the titles below was on the summer reading. Since I found it after the fact, I went with our Rabbi to meet the school’s director. He suggested that the teacher dedicates an hour to have an expert on the Israel- Arab conflict to explain the issues in an unbiased way.

The issue here is that novels and memoirs aren't curriculum -- though they can be on book lists and make their way into the classroom. I've also spoken to the people at IMPACT-se in Israel, who evaluate curricula (e.g., within the Palestinian Authority) against UNESCO standards for teaching peace and tolerance. But again, it's written curriculum that concerns them. What I'm looking at is trade books (novels, memoirs) that make their way into classrooms without actually being mandated by the curriculum. Teachers go ahead and choose these. They are often not vetted by the people responsible for writing curriculum. For example, you can have a literature unit that includes a theme like "living through trauma," and the teacher can select the novel A Little Piece of Ground as an illustration of how young people survive the trauma of "occupation." Elizabeth Laird's novel is well-written; the problem is that how it presents Israelis is nasty and biased, but the teacher who selected that novel may know nothing about the history of the Middle East and nothing about why the IDF was policing Ramallah the way it did. The novel was selected on literary, not historical, grounds. I'm not sure how one can prevent the use of persuasive yet inaccurate literature in classrooms, but I do think that attention has to be drawn to the issue. Marjorie Here's another example.

I don’t know if I told you that I should be a candidate for RIGHT hip replacement surgery but doctors say I’m too old (87) and have too many other health issues that make them think that I will have poor recovery, or possibly no recovery from surgery!!! AND I’m allergic to all pain medicines, so I’m taking Tylenol for RIGHT hip/leg pain, which is not very strong. Then to add more, I fell last week and injured my LEFT knee so I’m not walking too well these days. I’m allergic to all pain medicines so I’m taking Tylenol which is not a very strong medicine for pain. Now I’m getting Lidocaine injections in my right hip every few weeks for the pain.

Re: [ha-Safran] Career changes in Pandemic times....
We, at the East Coast, have just turned on our computers to read Lisa’s email. I am sure that the leadership of the Sperber Jewish Community Library had a hard time making this decision. I had the good fortune and honor if working with Lisa when she was SSC president and I was her VP. I can write a whole Megilah of praise, but I will leave it for an article in the NEWS. The success of the last conference is, mostly, thanks to her hard work. (For example she brought us SOCIO), but her contribution to AJL and to the profession surpass many of the other dedicated AJL leaders. Thank you Lisa, for enriching my life ?

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.

[ha-Safran] A project idea for synagogue and center libraries
The Public Library of Central Ohio started a project that may be adopted by synagogue and center libraries of middle size communities. The Cbus library partners with area businesses, donors and volunteers to gift high quality books to the community. As programs to the public is no longer an option, they have refocused on their initiative Libraries Everywhere program to deliver books for all to homes across Central Ohio. A survey was sent to library patrons and offered to those that replied up to 10 books per family. At the same time a call for volunteers was sent to the library patrons. See https://cbuslibraries.com/books/ Based on my experience libraries receive many book donations, especially from parents, who received duplicates from the PJ library or their children have outgrown the books, and from individuals that needed to clean up their shelves. They had no problem getting volunteers to drive the books to homes that replied to the survey . It will be a welcome service, especially now, when people of all ages stay home and might find time to clean up their shelves or enjoy a good book and children that are bored enough to read . Volunteers are committed to wearing a mask at all times when handling books, and hand sanitizer is readily available at the pickup location. All books have been quarantined for at least three days.

I am co-teaching a course this semester on the history of the Jewish book. Of course, this course should ideally take place in a rare book room, with physical examples of the materials laid out before the students. Alas, present circumstances do not allow this, so I put together a website with examples of the concepts/books being discussed. It's openly available, and relies (where possible) on IIIF technology to allow page-turning within the site (so there may be a slight lag as the page loads).

Re: [ha-Safran] Rachel Kamin Named Fanny Goldstein Merit Award Winner
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, Amalia W.

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
Re: [ha-Safran] AJL Announces Award Winners
Congratulation to the recipients and to the committee. I know that it is a great challenge and a big commitment. I have read The Lost Shtetl. It is an excellent choice. Thanks you to Dan Wyman Books for underwriting the Award. Amalia W. From: i...@jewishlibraries.org Sent: Monday, February 8, 2021 10:30 AM To: amalia...@att.net Subject: AJL Announces Award Winners AJL Announces the Jewish Fiction Award winners February 8, 2021 The Association of Jewish Libraries Announces the 2021 Winners of the Jewish Fiction Award Max Gross is the winner of the Association of Jewish Libraries (AJL) Jewish Fiction Award for his novel The Lost Shtetl, published by HarperVia, an imprint of HarperCollins Publishers. The award includes a $1,000 cash prize and support to attend the 57th Annual Conference of the Association of Jewish Libraries, June 27–July 1, 2021. Two honor books were also recognized: To Be a Man: Stories by Nicole Krauss, published by Harper, an imprint of HarperCollins Publishers, and Apeirogon: A Novel by Colum McCann, published by Penguin Random House. The Committee reviewed over 70 works of fiction originally written in English with significant Jewish thematic content published in the United States in 2020. Thanks to all those who submitted entries for consideration. The wide array of books published in 2020 is a testament to the vibrant state of contemporary Jewish fiction. In many ways Kreskol, the nominal Lost Shtetl, is a typical 19th century Polish village. It has the expected mix of competing synagogues and schools; happy and miserable families; and comfortable and poor inhabitants. What is surprising about Kreskol is that in Brigadoon style, it survived deep in the forests with no connection to the outside world. Set during the end of the 20th century, Lost Shtetl tells the story of a town neglected by time, unaware of the Holocaust or the creation of the state of Israel. When the Polish government “finds” Kreskol, there is massive culture shock on both sides. The Jewish villagers must decide how much to embrace the modern world and the Polish government has to decide how much they want to invest in this small contentious village. “An impressive debut novel, The Lost Shtetl is a thoroughly enjoyable story, with lots of humor, but also incredibly sophisticated, clever, poignant and thought provoking,” noted Laura Schutzman, Chair of the Award Committee. The ten stories in To Be a Man by Nicole Krauss deal with the struggle to understand what it is to be a man and what it is to be a woman, and all of the tensions in the relationships between parents and children, lovers and friends, husbands and wives. All contemporary, they span the globe from Switzerland, Japan, and New York City to Tel Aviv, Los Angeles, and South America. “Each is impactful and memorable with fully developed characters, often wrestling with their Jewish identity, who stay with you long after the reading experience is over,” commented Rachel Kamin, member of the Award Committee. Apeirogon, in telling the story of two fathers, an Israeli and a Palestinian united in grief after losing their daughters to the conflict, weaves together fiction and nonfiction, crossing centuries and continents, to create a multifaceted and multilayered exploration of history, art, politics, love, loss, hope, and the power of storytelling. An apeirogon is a shape with an infinitely countable number of sides; Apeirogon, the novel, “evokes a mosaic with an infinitely countable number of pieces that have been assembled into a beautifully written, emotionally charged, and exceedingly relevant work of fiction,” remarked Paula Breger, member of the Award Committee. The intricacies and conflicting themes of Aperigon are sure to elicit much debate and discussion. Laura Schutzman ajljewishfictionaw...@gmail.com The AJL Jewish Fiction Award Committee members are Paula Breger, Beth Dwoskin, Rachel Kamin, Laura Schutzman, and Sheryl Stahl.

It was blue with a red band running around it near the edge.

Friends – While I’ve met very few of you in person, I nonetheless wanted to thank AJL as a group for the online camaraderie and support I’ve received through HaSafran these many years -- at least 15. My tenure as Librarian at Temple Emanuel, Kensington, MD came to an end this summer -- so I need to let my AJL membership lapse -- and THIS has been a wonderful community. As so many of us do, I fell into my job unexpectedly. No, I’m not a real librarian, but with a background in film archives and preservation, my knowledge of collections management served me well. Much of the rest came from what I picked up on this listserve or what I read in the AJL News and Reviews. I was able to sharpen and adjust my skills to fit the needs of my small synagogue library collection, and soon I was even providing support to others on the list! This is a generous, forward-thinking, open-minded community of knowledgeable men and women, and I will truly miss the little corner of the web-o-sphere. Thank you for the years of standing at my back and providing me with superb institutional and personal support. Stay healthy, everyone – L’hitraot.

Barns and Noble used to give books, but they will not come to your synagogue. You will get a certain percentage of the sale. They also gave bags and other promo material. I don’t know if they are still dingo it and if they do it in every location, but they count on you to make a list of the books and the quantities. Amalia W.

Please let me know if you’d like more information about either of these. You might also try your local indie bookstore that might be willing to come in, although they’d likely need to pre-order Jewish books to have on hand.

Re: [ha-Safran] Michelle Chesner library support
I agree with Rachel. The small/er Orthodox synagogue is different from a large synagogue from another denomination. Public libraries in large cities, in areas where many Orthodox Jews live make sure to have a collection that serves these communities. The children get the books in their day schools. A collection of books in a room is a blessing, but AJL, as the LEADING AUTHORITY IN JUDAIC LIBRARIANSHIP, can’t offer that room an accreditation. I’m my few years as the chairperson of the Accreditation Committee, only one library was not eligible for accreditation on the basic level because of the size, the small number of operation and making of the collection.

Re: [ha-Safran] help with/invitation to my Second Sunday synagogue book club
Annette raises an issue that many of you face as well. How to reduce the mailing list?I have over 50 addresses two programs for each when only 20 attend regularly.My communication person has emailed several emails asking the recipients to let her know If they are interested in remaining on the list. Even the 2O “regulars” did not reply. I have started a new list with those 20. I plan to delete the list 6 months after the date that we can meet in person. Does anyone have other suggestions?Annette work is going BEYOND the call of duty. It’s a good idea to open it to the Hasafran list. I live in North Carolina, but attend one program in Long Island and one in New Jersey.I hope that it will continue on ZOOM when meeting in person is possible, but, still need to reduce the list.Amalia W.Sent from my iPadOn Dec 7, 2021, at 8:20 AM, Annette Goldsmith via Hasafran wrote:Dear Safranim,I run a monthly virtual book club for adults at my Temple. It's called the Second Sunday Book Club and the next one is this Sunday, Dec. 12, at 1:00 pm PT/4:00 pm ET. People just talk about what they're reading, Jewish or not, so there's no preparation required. I wanted a no-stress book club. I started it during the pandemic, when Zoom was the obvious way to go, but even as some things have opened up again I want to continue the book club online because older and more isolated people can easily attend -- and who wants to drive in LA traffic anyway? My problem is that I had only a few people from the congregation at the start, and now they do not come at all, even though some say that they intend to come -- or come back -- sometime. I advertise the book club in my regular column in the Temple's online newsletter, and I have maybe 30 people on the dedicated email list. Every now and then I ask if people wish to be removed from the list, and no one has ever followed up to be removed. I understand that not getting a response is the norm here, and it's not just me. But what to do?So I started to invite some of my friends in Toronto (my hometown) to come, and they love it! It just so happens that they are all librarians or married to librarians (something I just realized now!). I wanted to maintain the Jewish character of the book club by making sure that I talked about one or two Jewish books every time, but I have found that pretty much everyone else does too, whether or not they are Jewish, so there is Jewish content every time. I usually talk about one adult book and two or three children's books. I start us off with a poem (often, but not necessarily, Jewish) and then we take turns sharing and talking about our books. What's not to like? Depending on how many people come, we go for an hour or two. It's very small -- maybe five people, and I still have hopes of getting the (new, avid reader, YA fan) Religious School Director to join us. If a few of you would like to come, too, I could tell the Temple that their book club is drawing attention from well beyond our community. Maybe that would spark a little more interest from the people for whom the book club was intended. And honestly, I think you would like it, too!So if you are interested in coming to the book club on Sunday, please reply just to me (agoldsmith@gmail.com) and I will send you the Zoom link. If you can't make it this Sunday but are still interested, let me know and I'll put you on the email list. I send out a reminder with the attached flyer about a week before we meet, and then after the meeting I send my notes with the poem and a list of all the books that we've read. Thanks for your patience in reading this rather long post, and I hope to see a few of you on Sunday! And if any of you have advice for me on how to improve attendance, apart from showing up yourselves, I'm all ears.

Re: [ha-Safran] Controversial book
Marcia, Judy did all she can do. The issue was brought to my attention by a children book author and I’m sure that she will email soon. The book troubles me for more than one reason, how come even Golda Meir or women from the Bible are not mentioned as AMAZING WOMEN OF THE MIDDLE EAST. This is the third book with a map with no mention of the State if Israel and we can always contact the publisher. Having said that we, as a Jewish organization, must be careful when we object to a book about Muslim women. In addition librarians can’t censor books. Amazon welcomes reviews.

Re: [ha-Safran] Explaining what's happening in Israel to Americans
Diane, What you demonstrate gives a clear picture. I’m an Israeli who lives in North Carolina. My email was similar. I was glued to the Israeli TV from the start. Words that I heard from eye witness and politicians alike that shook me were: “No different than ISIS” (Americans can relate to it) “Pogrom” (Jews can relate to it) “Helpless” was repeated by survivors (everyone can relate to it) “Cruel wild animals” The word that I didn’t hear was “killed”, but I heard “murdered” close to a thousand times. I watched mothers and siblings cry and scream that every minute of not knowing the fate of their loved feels like days, months and years. This is the WORST since the Holocaust and definitely feels like we relive the Sep. 11th shock.

Re: [ha-Safran] Conference 2022 Update: Member Awards and Scholarships
Mazal tov to all the recipients of the AJL awards. The fanny Goldstein Merit Award. The info below lists very few of Lisa’s contributions to the profession of Jewish librarianship. Lisa was instrumental in the success of the past few confernces. She introduced us to the Socio app and worked hard to secure the hotel and the meeting spaces in the museum. Lisa was the SSC president. The most evident example of promoting Jewish and non-Jewish children’s literature and literacy is her involvement in the children’s Literature conferences and her work with Suzi Dubin chairing the AJL Western Regional Children’s Literature Conferences in LA for close to five years. Lisa’s wonderful reviews of Children’s five years. Lisa’s wonderful reviews of Children’s Books for the LA Jewish Journal and her work as the editor of the children books reviews at the JBW (Jewish Book Council) quarterly magazine served many librarians in the selection of books for their libraries. Lisa is much more than her list of activities. In addition to her work locally and for AJL, Lisa has gone to Germany (and, if I am not wrong other cities in Europe) to speak on Children’s Holocaust Literature and children books. She would not have been selected as a judge for the Younger Readers Once Upon a World and the National Book Award if she did not prove herself as expert in the field. Lisa has given numerous workshops on many topics and in particularly in Holocaust picture books for children. Lisa took the AJL Bibliography Bank to a higher level by making it searchable. If I forgot something apologize! Mazal tov Lisa! Groner- Wikler award There is no need to introduce Heidi. Just like Lisa she deserves this award. Congratulations Heid!. Accreditation The accreditation is guidance to excellence. Special greetings to the recipients. Student Scholarships: I hope that the students will see this scholarship as an opening invitation to getting involved in AJL.

[ha-Safran] FW: The reason for warding the Fanny Goldstein Merit Award to Elliot Gertel
יוסי, אנא ראה למטה את המסר שלי ל-הספרן מיום שלישי שעבר. בכלל, מספר ההודעות ב-הספרן נמוכות מהרגיל. אני תוהה אם חלק מהן לא מגיע ליעדן. תודה עמליה ו. To: Amalia Warshenbrot From Yossi Galron את תיבת הדואר שלי ולא מצאתי אותה. שלחי לפי הכתובת: יוסי From: Amalia Warshenbrot Sent: Tuesday, August 23, 2022 2:22 PM To: Hasafran Subject: The reason for warding the Fanny Goldstein Merit Award to Elliot Gertel I read with interest Emily Bergman’s article about Elliot Gertel in the last issue of AJL News & Reviews (pages 2-3). Since I assume that it was a delayed info to offer the reasons to award Elliot the Fanny Goldstein Merit Award (2019), Allow me to add that the Fanny Goldstein Award, is a combination of two previous awards to AJL members: one for contributions to Judaic librarianship, which is listed in Emily’s article, and one to AJL. I wish to list Elliot’s positions on the AJL Board and Council: 1. Secretary of the Board and Council from 2002-2004 2. RAS vice-president 2004-2006. In this position he chaired the Judaica Bibliography and Reference Awards Committee. 3. RAS president from 2006-2008. Presidents take an active role in planning a conference. It is never an easy task. All this in addition to more years than I can recall of acting as AJL liaison to ALA. In this position, with compassion and diligence, he represented AJL through many events and was fighting passionately to defeat the repeated anti-Israel resolutions. Thank you, Emily, for highlighting Elliot’s many journeys. How little most members knew!

Friends, It is strange that a book by an Israeli author has yet to be translated into Hebrew when it was translated to several languages.

The award, named for the librarian, social activist, and founder of National Jewish The Association of Jewish Libraries (AJL) is proud to announce that longtime member Rachel Leket-Mor has been named the 2023 Fanny Goldstein Merit Award Winner. The 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 AJL and to the profession of Judaica librarianship. Rachel Leket-Mor began her career as a Hebrew language editor at publishing houses in Israel. She edited translated fiction, scholarly articles, and monographs, mostly related to Jewish history, political science, and holocaust studies, in collaboration with authors, translators, and in-house editors. She began at Arizona State University (ASU) Library in 2002, first as the Jewish studies bibliographer, building collections, supporting curriculum and 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 life to books and her community.” Rachel will receive her award on Monday, June 19, 2023, at

The books are all packed in boxes and stored in the attic of the sanctuary.
