And if getting a full passport is a bit pricey, there is also the
less-expensive "passcard", meant for U.S. citizens who travel around
the Americas (including Caribbean and Canada), but don't plan on
further overseas travel.

Thank you, Janina, thank you, Marcia!
My original query was: how can one get a look at issues of the
"Forverts" from 1911? I'm involved in an event commemorating the
Triangle disaster, and was curious about getting a look at some of
the original coverage. Also, I understand that IB Singer publis
YIVO, alas, appears to have no plans to digitize any of their
"Forverts" issues.
And my query to the Forward has gone unanswered -- I suspect that the
copies of the Yiddish supplement at http://yiddish.forward.com were
all born-digital, as none are any earlier than 1999.
Sorry to not have better
Glad to see mention of this site, especially since I'm in one of the
events (ASL song-interpreter for the chorus, "A Besere Velt")!
Related to the Triangle comemmorations, does anybody know where/how
one can read issues of the "Forverts" of the time? It sounds like
such an influential and impor
I highly recommend Joan Nathan's "Jewish Holiday Kitchen"! I was
given *two* copies at my own adult bat mitzvah 21 years ago, and
still enjoy it greatly, both for the recipes and also for the all the
information about the holidays, the people who contributed the
recipes, and the many places aro
Great videos at this link!
But could they be captioned? Libraries are particularly important for
deaf schools, and some librarians (and others) are themselves deaf /
hard-of-hearing as well ...

Dear Mr. Schwartz:
That set of subtitles in 12 languages is truly impressive! ( I presume
they are on the DVD also?)
Thank you for having the subtitles in English as well -- very important to
those of us who are hard-of-hearing and deaf and are also interested in
these important issues.

Hello members of HaSafran:
has anyone else received copies of many CD-ROM copies from
www.israel613.com at their libraries?
Yesterday, we received a stack of about 100 CDs, half of which are "300

Hello Lance Watsky, and other interested HaSafran-niks:
here are some statistics on DVD usage and replacement, relative to our

Hello Lance and everyone:
let me get back to you - and HaSafran - on that!
I had not been formally tracking our dvd-replacement orders, but it looks
like now would be a good place to start. I'll see if I can put together
the kind of Boolean search that would get this info.
Best,

Dear Ms. Edelglass:

receipts cross my desk, but only a very small number of DVDs come back
from patrons as being problematic or unplayable. Of the ones that are

I seem to remember there being a recipe in "The Jewish Catalog"; this book
was absolutely indispensible back when I was first becoming observant!

Hello all:
am catching up on *2* weeks worth of HaSafran postings (due to being out
of town), and have noticed that there seem to have been no replies to the
person who wanted to know about "bookshelves on rails"!
The official term for these is "compact shelving", and there are different
versions -
What's wrong with alternating for formats? Every other year, a big hotel
with amenities.
On the other years, put it on an affordable campus.
My 2 thrifty-Yankee cents.

Amen, well said!
You have stated exactly the biggest reason why I am working for a college
library and not at some Jewish collection (including a very interesting
historical institute at which I was once interviewed for a cataloging
position...).
