Dear Librarians New at Gefen: Transformations From Ethiopia to Israel Photography by Ricki Rosen Text by Micha Odenheimer Price: $45.00 Hard Cover* 100pp * ISBN 965-229-377-6 * Publish Date: June 2006 See a power point presentation on this title at http://tinyurl.com/gwfll Renowned photojournalist Ricki Rosen documented Israel's rescue of 15,000 Jews from Ethiopia during the historic Operation Solomon airlift. Thirteen years later, she searched for and photographed the same Ethiopian Jews now settled all over Israel... This is an inspiring story of remarkable transformations. Rosen's compelling photos portray dramatic scenes of the mass exodus of the Ethiopian Jews -- thousands wrapped in white robes heading towards the Promised Land, like the biblical Exodus from Egypt. Her contemporary photos are poignant portraits of these Ethiopians radically transformed by their Israeli experience. Children in rags have grown up to be proud Israeli soldiers, malnourished babies have developed into fashionable teenagers, and mothers who lost children to starvation and disease have given birth to new families. Rosen's insightful images take us on a journey from the mud huts of Africa to the skyscrapers of Israel, from the exotic and traditional to the ultra-modern. We see an ancient lost tribe become the newest Israelis, and we travel with them from exile to the Promised Land. Photographer Ricki Rosen has been published in every major international magazine, including on the covers of the New York Times Magazine, Time, Newsweek, People, and Figaro, and featured in numerous books and exhibitions. She began her career in New York and has been based in Israel for the last seventeen years. The photos are accompanied by an introductory essay by writer Micha Odenheimer, whose reporting from Ethiopia, as well as founding the Israel Association for Ethiopian Jews, have made him one of the most important activists for Ethiopian Jewish immigration and integration. direct link to this title's details page on Gefen's web site: http://www.israelbooks.com/bookDetails.asp?book=520 Send purchase orders for this and other Gefen Publishing House titles: By email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] By fax: 516-295-2739 To receive a copy of every new Gefen Publishing House title at a 30% discount, send an email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To place special orders for books of other Israeli publishers send an email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To subscribe to a free monthly email newsletter visit: <http://tinyurl.com/sxgoz>http://tinyurl.com/sxgoz To subscribe to a free email newsletter and quarterly catalog for librarians visit: http://tinyurl.com/fydrh Avraham (Andy) Kohlenberg Israbook Special Orders and Marketing Gefen Publishing House Jerusalem / New York www.israelbooks.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] tel: 972 2 538 0247 fax: 972 2 538 8423 Hatzvi 6, Jerusalem, 94386 Israel Gefen Books 600 Broadway, Lynbrook, NY, 11563 USA tel: 1 800 477 5257 fax: 516 295 2739 Messages and opinions expressed on Hasafran are those of the individual author and are not necessarily endorsed by the Association of Jewish Libraries (AJL) =========================================================== Submissions for Ha-Safran, send to: Hasafran @ lists.acs.ohio-state.edu SUBscribing, SIGNOFF commands send to: Listproc @ lists.acs.ohio-state.edu Questions, problems, complaints, compliments;-) send to: galron.1 @ osu.edu Ha-Safran Archives: Current: http://www.mail-archive.com/hasafran%40lists.acs.ohio-state.edu/maillist.html History: http://www.mail-archive.com/hasafran%40lists.acs.ohio-state.edu/history.html AJL HomePage http://www.JewishLibraries.org
