[ha-Safran] Conference

2020-07-05 Thread Robbin Katzin via Hasafran
Thank you to Rachel, Marcie, and all those who made this conference happen in 
such a short time frame.  It was wonderful - I was sad when it was over.  The 
flexibility shown in adding the late afternoon virtual hospitality suites gave 
many of us an opportunity to talk to other librarians dealing with the same 
issues, particularly regarding COVID.  I hope that the conference will be able 
to take place here in Chicago next year, but the online format might be a way 
to have some conferences in the future that allow more people to attend at a 
reasonable price.

[ha-Safran] New Online Exhibition: The Jewish Home: Dwelling on the Domestic, the Familial, and the Lived-In

2020-07-05 Thread Kiron, Arthur via Hasafran
Everyone -

The Fellows at the Herbert D. Katz Center for Advanced Judaic Studies at the 
University of Pennsylvania, in partnership with the Penn Libraries, have just 
launched their 2019-20 fellowship year web exhibition entitled: "The Jewish 
Home: Dwelling on the Domestic, the Familial, and the Lived-In."  To view the 
exhibition go to:  
https://www.library.upenn.edu/collections/online-exhibits/jewish-home?tab=exhibit
 .

This exhibition highlights examples of the formative and intimate of contexts 
of Jewish homes, houses and households, drawing from texts in the Penn 
Libraries' collections and from around the world. The contributors interpret 
Jewish domestic culture, architecture, clothing, landscape, and material 
evidence through the lenses of archaeological, anthropological, historical, 
legal, literary, and visual research.  Among the topics discussed are Jewish 
domestic labor, home and homeland, the cosmopolitan home, ghettoized homes, 
traumatized homes, refugee homes, Soviet Shtetl homes, symbolic homes, embodied 
homes, health and hygiene, affordable housing, as well as homelessness within 
the framework of broad social and political contexts. Also treated are Jewish 
costume and clothing, Jewish domestic customs, including lighting Sabbath 
candles and inscribing marriage contracts, as well as the homes and hands 
through which Jewish books have passed. The periods of time covered span the 
ancient Near Eastern archeological sites of home, the ancient rabbinic home as 
a worksite, Fatamid Egyptian Jewish home interiors, early modern Jewish 
households of masters and enslaved people; modern representations of Jewish 
notions of home and office in the visual arts, including photography and 
engraving, and studies that approach the home as part of the built environment 
and design of local neighborhoods.

Be well,

[ha-Safran] AJL conference 2020

2020-07-05 Thread B Weinstein via Hasafran
I’d like to add my thanks for the wonderful  conference! Kudos to all involved- 
and all who participated - in AJL Conference 2020.   All of you who were 
instrumental in setting up this first time ever Zoom conference actually 
managed to turn a potential wash out into a positive event by making It 
available to not only those who would’ve attended but also to many of us who 
would not have been able to join in person due to financial, travel, or 
scheduling constraints. I did miss the face to face contact ( Zoom is still not 
exactly that personal) but I so appreciated the ability to listen and learn 
from all of you- Particularly the New Jewish Fiction Session, the discussion of 
On Division,  the interview with Goldie Goldbloom, the book club facilitator 
sessions, the advocacy session— and all the sessions/ Tea room/ breakouts 
geared towards SSCPL. Thank you for all the time, the effort, the work you put 
in, and for —safely —educating us all!Bruchie WeinsteinLibrarianMagen David

Re: [ha-Safran] Wonderful conference

2020-07-05 Thread Annette Goldsmith via Hasafran
Well said, Shaindy! I don't think I've posted yet to express my
appreciation for this amazing conference. It was a stellar learning
experience under any circumstances, but considering that it had to be
adapted from face-to-face to virtual in a short amount of time -- wow!

As others have said, the silver lining is that the online format made the
conference accessible to many who would not have been able to attend in
person. This is huge, folks. Increased participation, camaraderie, and
community! And the opportunity to review recordings and to watch ones that
we missed means that we get the full benefit of the sessions!

Kol hakavod to the organizers, speakers, and participants (check out the
session chats!) who made this such a memorable experience!

[ha-Safran] Congratulations to everyone involved in the AJL conference

2020-07-05 Thread Amalia S. Levi via Hasafran
I would like to add my gratitude and congratulations to all those who
worked tirelessly to make the AJL 2020 a success: the conference organizing
and program committees, the AV club, the AJL leadership, our sponsors, and
of course all the presenters who shared their work.

It was great to see that this virtual conference enabled new possibilities
for community building and engaging members in new ways.

I am looking forward to staying connected throughout the year. We will
continue to serve our members and develop further opportunities to stay in
touch.

Sincerely,
Amalia S. Levi
RAS President

Dear AJL members, 
 
  
 
The new open access issue of Judaica Librarianship is out – I did my best to 
finish the work before or during the conference but let it be an after-party 
treat.
 
  
 
Congratulations to all the authors(!) and thanks to the anonymous reviewers and 
JL’s editorial board for their support: Zachary Baker, Annette Goldsmith, 
Rachel Heuberger, Rebecca Jefferson, Arthur Kiron, Roger Kohn, and Jim 
Rosenbloom. Special thanks are due to Nancy Sack, JL’s remarkable copyeditor 
who contributed so much to this issue.
 
  
 
The URL of JL is still at https://ajlpublishing.org but no login is needed, 
unless you would like to get email notifications. It was wonderful seeing so 
many of you on Zoom at the AJL online conference – please keep in touch with JL
