It might just be me, but it seems that the Encyclopaedia Judaica

I am currently working through the article on Sociology (Volume 18
Page 728-737 and I noticed right away that it is a challenge to get through.

Hi Andrea,
You're absolutely right about schools not having quizzes. Before I
embarked on this, I checked with the librarian at my local
elementary school, who
checked with the other librarians in the school district. Apparently most
schools no longer purchase individual quizzes, but pay a f

involved in AR in their public schools take the AR quizzes to earn
the points -- there's a test (on computer) they take and must achieve
a certain score in order
Hi,
I work at a small synagogue (about 125 member families) and our
weekly Religious School averages 7-10 students per class (K-7). I
appreciate the discussion of reading programs as it's given me some
good ideas (I especially like the one of reading to raise money for
tzedakah projects)
yes, it's like pulling teeth. I do programs for grades 1-6, and it
gets hard starting in 4th grade--and by 6th grade it's a real challenge.
I found that some 6th graders were often not actually reading the
books, but simply copied a sentence from the blurb or in other ways
indicated to me
Rachel,
Good luck with trying to engage middle school students.
I, too, find it a challenge enticing those students past the Hey
class to borrow and read our Jewish library books. Unfortunately, I
have too small a budget to offer prizes for reading. This type of
reading program with extrinsic
Dear Hasafranim,
Getting students, esp. jaded middle schoolers, to utilize our library
has been like pulling teeth. (Ours is a 3 day/week religious school
-- 2 weekday afternoons for 3rd grade & up and Sunday morning for all
grades. We have a very small school.)
Even on the monthly scheduled "

This year, I've begun 3 new reading programs at our religious school,
for grades 4,5, and 6. I've borrowed or adapted programs from my AJL
colleagues, so I'd like to credit you.
Our 4th graders study Israel, so I adapted a program of Jeannette
Radom which she called Books, Trees, and Leaves.
Does anybody know how to read an Israeli legal citation?
We were wondering if from this citation we could find out when the
judgement was rendered.
It is as follows:

Hi, all.
I got loads of responses in my mailbox to my query
about Reading Incentive programs. Nearly all of them
were like this: "Please pass your responses on to me."
So here they are: there were three ideas. The BINGO
card is most popular; you distribute a BINGO card and
each square has a ge
I, too, think my message to ha-safran got lost.
I am interested in learning about reading incentive
programs for grades 4-6 in Jewish schools (i.e. for
Jewish-content books).

Welcome to the Family is a wonderful book. It was written by a woman

Can you recommend a simple, short reading for a non-Jewish friend who wants
to learn about Judaism? Something that might brief on holidays and

I'll also be starting a reading program at a synagogue where I teach next
