Re: [ha-Safran] Hasafran Digest, Vol 567, Issue 5

[Karen Hering via Hasafran]

Dear Elaine,
I buy lots of Hebrew children's books for our day school library (K-6) and 
board books for our ELC. I have ordered them or bought them when I am Israel 
because we live in western Canada and not near any good outlet for Hebrew kids 
books. I am happy to chat with you further about Hebrew picture books, series, 
chapter books and novels I have bought, both fiction and none.

Hello All,

Does anyone know of lists of Hebrew language books for children of all ages? A 
patron is looking for materials in Hebrew to help develop fluency in speech and 
comprehension for English-speakers.  As an example of the genre, they  
mentioned books by Galila Ron-Feder Amit (specifically the Gingi and Tuli 
Ta'alooli series), although many of those are out of print. A more recent 
example would be the Sha'ah shel Menucha series by Menucha Fuchs. To narrow the 
question further, are there libraries where these types of books could be 
circulated, instead of patrons needing to purchase them?
Thanks for any leads.

Elaine

Dear AJL members,

The previous issue of Judaica 
Librarianship, AJL’s peer-reviewed journal was published during the height of the COVID 
pandemic in 2020. The pause in publishing caused by COVID-related drawbacks is 
almost over… Please watch your email for a note about the publication of JL 22 
in the next few weeks.

Volume 22 addresses the question of provenance in Jewish libraries and archives 
on multiple levels, presenting possible solutions to ethical considerations 
concerning the origin of individual items or complete collections. These issues 
are explored in a number of research articles, essays, and reviews. Other 
topics covered in this volume are Jewish bookstores, children's literature, 
libraries catering to or reviewed by Yiddish readers, and last but not least 
our own association, with one essay about Judaica catalogers and another on 
AJL’s copping with COVID as an organization. The 2-year gap is summarized in 
our digital humanities and literature review columns, and a tribute to Heidi 
Lerner.

I thank Nancy Sack for volunteering her crucial copyediting services to JL and 
Nadav Sharon for his editorial assistance.

Work on Volume 23 is underway as well, continuing to focus on issues of 
provenance. Please check JL’s 
About page for the journal’s focus and scope: we are interested in publishing 
high-quality papers and essays about Jewish informational literacy, development 
and management of Judaica collections, curation and dissemination of 
information resources, book history and bibliography, and related fields. For 
questions and consultations, please contact me.

To be continued later this month –

[ha-Safran] A feedback about a book "Hope is a Woman's Name"

[Ana Esterin via Hasafran]

Dear safranim and safraniyot,

A few of our patrons have been asking for this book written by a 
Bedouin-Israeli woman: "Hope is a Woman's Name" by Amal Elsana Alhjooj

I am wondreing if someone has this book in their collection and/or read it? Is 
there an anti-Israel bias in it?

I would appreciate any feedback.

Best regards,

Ana Esterin
