[ha-Safran] new book for children, RIDE HIGH WITH THE WAVE, by Sharon Solomon

2018-06-20 Thread Amy Turim
(I am happy to post this announcement of a new title by my friend, Sharon
Solomon

Amy Turim,

Librarian, Temple Emanuel

Kensington, MD



What do kids do these days when their sports events conflict with family
cultural and religious activities? Eleven-year-old backstroke rivals Ted
Richman and Hiro Kojima find themselves facing this problem in my book *Ride
High with the Wave.  *

On Saturdays Hiro goes to Japanese School and Ted attends Sabbath services
with his family. The two boys join forces to get the swim meets changed to
Sundays. With advice from their grandparents in the form of Yiddish and
Japanese proverbs, Hiro and Ted form strategies to make this change happen.
Will they succeed? Will they resolve their rivalry?

*Ride High With the Wave *is a middle grade novel for ages 8-12. It deals
with a real-life situation children and families face today. The reader
will experience Japanese and Jewish holidays and traditions and swim meets
as Hiro and Ted continue their efforts. This book focuses on competition
and the clash of priorities in our society. This realistic fiction novel is
both multicultural and multigenerational and takes place in Pittsburgh.



I am the author of eight published children’s books as listed on my website
www.sharonsbooks.net. I was born in Pittsburgh and grew up in McKeesport. *Ride
High With The Wave *would be a great addition to the children’s collection
of your library.



Sincerely,

Sharon K. Solomon

[ha-Safran] The Boston conference

2018-06-20 Thread Amalia Warshenbrot
It is almost midnight. I’m finally home from Boston. 
I don’t want to delay my message of appreciation to the conference committee. 
I enjoyed each session. There were no glitches and, of course, it was wonderful 
to meet old and new friends.
I’m looking forward to seeing all of you next year in LA.

[ha-Safran] Call for Papers

2018-06-20 Thread Jefferson, Rebecca
Posted by Rebecca Jefferson in case of interest …

CALL FOR PAPERS:

JEWS AND THE AMERICAS: THE 68TH ANNUAL CONFERENCE OF THE CENTER FOR LATIN 
AMERICAN STUDIES JOINTLY SPONSORED BY THE ALEXANDER GRASS CHAIR IN JEWISH 
STUDIES AND THE ISSER AND RAE PRICE LIBRARY OF JUDAICA AT THE UNIVERSITY OF 
FLORIDA.

FEBRUARY 24-46, 2019

This multidisciplinary conference aims to explore various facets of the Jewish 
experience in the Americas from the 16th century until today. This experience 
has been shaped by intra-religious developments as well as through relations – 
actual, spiritual, and imaginary – with Jewish communities outside the 
Americas. It was, of course, likewise influenced by the same political, 
economic, cultural, and social forces that shaped the societies of the Americas 
more generally during the past five centuries.

The aim of the conference is to bring together the fields of Latin American and 
Jewish studies and scholarship on North America through different disciplinary 
approaches. At the same time, the organizers would also like to allow students, 
UF’s academic community, and the broader public to gain new insights into the 
multidisciplinary research being conducted on the Jewish experience in the 
Americas.

The conference will be organized around thematic panels and will also be open 
to presenters who look at any aspect of the broader topic through a comparative 
or trans-national lens. The organizing committee is interested in papers and 
panels that study the material cultures of Jews in the Americas; commercial and 
religious networks; intellectual exchange and artistic endeavors; 
trans-national/ethnic/religious diasporas, diversity, marginality, and identity 
discourses in conjunction with the Jewish experience in the Americas from the 
colonial period throughout the early twenty-first century. The organizers are 
especially looking forward to presentations that offer fresh insights into the 
cultural, intellectual, economic, and political world of the Jews of the 
Americas and which challenge the dominant narratives that have shaped our 
knowledge of the connection between Jews and the Americas.

Individual paper applications should include a max. 300-word abstract and CV. 
Panel proposals should be limited to a 100-word description and include at 
least one paper proposal. The organizers accept applications in English, the 
language of the conference will be English. The deadline to apply is September 
1, 2018, to our online application page at 
https://ufl.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_5ASw0DDVGVpWmQB

All applicants will be notified no later than October 15, 2018.

The organizers will cover travel and lodging expenses for participants.

For additional information please write to 
jewsandtheamericasconfere...@uflib.ufl.edu.
