Dear Safranim,:
In our synagogue library we have a growing video and DVD
collection with Jewish content. I would like to know which ones you
consider important to have. Include old ones and new ones. Many of
my patrons are not taking out Holocaust films so please include more

Dear Safranim,
I am buying fiction books for my synagogue library and David
Liss turned up with a few new books. In the beginning he wrote with
Jewish content. Will someone please let me know which of his books
have Jewish content and which don't. The reviews don't mention
that.
Several postings recently have come from Ruth Diskin Films
advertising their Israeli films. The cost is $300 for university
libraries and $115 for public libraries. I wrote and asked if there
could be another fee for synagogue libraries and I was answered in
the negative. The libraries in
I am so glad that I started this Large Print search. More libraries

recent postings add to my list and give more choices.

Dear Safranim v'Safranot,
We are planning to start a Poetry Reading Group with Judaic Content
in our synagogue library. Please respond online (maybe others are as
interested as I am) regarding suggested books to purchase. All must
be in translation and can originate from any time period .
The Convention session for First-Timers will be on Sunday at 4-5
p.m. If you are a Committee Chair and would like to promote your
program with newcomers please let me know and I will schedule you to
say a few words to the group. See you in Phoenix.

An open message to Yossi Galron:
All of the answers to my question advised me that Ben Shahn never
illustrated Pirke Avot but Saul Raskin did. To have my problem solved
within one day was a miracle and I thank Yossi for making Hasafran
possible. A Happy, Healthy and Safe New Year to us all.
A library patron asked me to find out where she could buy a copy of Pirke
Avot illustrated by Ben Shahn. She says she used to have one. I have
tried every avenue I know to find it and I have not succeeded and I wonder
if there ever was such a book.
If you know the answer please let me know.
A patron has asked for a book to explain What is Torah? to a 10 year old
