Dear Hasafranim,
We have a respected professor and historical novelist in town -- Grace Tiffany
-- who just wrote a book called Paint set during the Shakespearean era, the
protagonist being a part Jewish, part Italian female poet. According to the
author herself, the Jewish content is minimal.
Dear Hasafranim,
I'm stumped. A patron asked about some sort of memoir by a woman upon whom the
character of Minka (the protagonist's grandmother and a Holocaust survivor) in
Jodi Picoult's The Storyteller is based. I can't find anything, but this patron
is certain it exists. Anyone know

I have to offer multiple copies of Herb Zafren's Feinstein Foundation
lecture held at AJL and published in 1997: *Was Gutenberg Jewish? and other
conundrums* : exploring the margins of Jewish bibliography

I'm stunned by the notion that Rachel's committee would object to having this
non-Jewish (and worthy) author speak. Yes, we need to support our local Jewish
authors. In fact, my library committee is sponsoring its second Author Panel
wherein local Jewish authors who write on mostly secular

Absolutely, Lois is right. It's about the content, not the author.
Would we exclude award winning writers of Jewish literature like James Carroll
(Constantine's Sword) or David Wyman ( Abandonment of the Jews)?

Just one more voice echoing this sentiment, and being shocked that we'd exclude
a non-Jewish author. Think how we'd feel if it were the other way around.

I would like to weigh in with a hearty agreement that content and literary
worth should be the determining factors, not the author's religion, gender,
hair color or associates. Rachel may remember we featured a number of
speakers at Sinai Temple, during long-ago days in LA, whose work was
I am I the minority. It is the contents that matters not the religion of the
author. According to the author the Jewish contents is minimal. I prefer books
that teach about our religion, culture, History, current issues Israel etc.
