[ha-Safran] Photos of the Jerusalem Book Fair

[Jacob Richman via Hasafran]

Hi Everyone!

Today, I went to the Jerusalem Book Fair at the First Station
(the original train station in Jerusalem).
There was a good turnout for the first day of the book fair.
After 38 years in Israel, I still get a kick out of seeing the covers
of English books I read when I was a kid but with Hebrew titles and text.
You can see some examples in the photos I took today.
The photos are posted at:
jr.co.il/jerusalem/2023/jer668.htm

Enjoy and please share. Thank You!

Have a good night,
Jacob 
jrichman @ jr.co.il

[ha-Safran] Announcing the 2022 Bibliography and Reference awards

[Eitan Lev Kensky via Hasafran]

Dear Colleagues -

On behalf of the committee, it is my great honor to announce the winners of 
this year's Reference and Bibliography Awards.


Bibliography award: Koerner, András. Early Jewish Cookbooks: Essays on 
Hungarian Jewish Gastronomical History. Budapest; New York: CEU Press, 2022.


Reference award: Stein, Sarah Abrevaya, and Aomar Boum. Wartime North Africa: A 
Documentary History, 1934–1950. Stanford, California: Stanford University 
Press, 2022.


This year’s awardees exemplify AJL’s mission to foster and promote access to 
information, learning, teaching, and research. The awardees will be honored at 
a virtual event this fall.


In Early Jewish Cookbooks, András Koerner continues his explorations of Jewish 
cookbooks in Hungary, this time focusing predominantly on the nineteenth 
century. In this ambitious work, Koerner uncovers “lost” cookbooks while also 
examining their vast interconnections with both local communities and distant 
publishing projects. Koerner’s highly engaging prose also serves as an 
excellent entrée into academic food studies, covering both how to critically 
read cookbooks and what is gained by doing so. Reference winner Wartime North 
Africa: A Documentary History, 1934–1950, is a tremendous work of archival 
scholarship. Aomar Boum and Sarah Stein selected documents from a wide mix of 
languages — French, Arabic, Judeo-Arabic, Spanish, Hebrew, Darija, Tamazight, 
Italian, and Yiddish — and, in many cases, translated them into English for the 
first time. The documents shine a light on underexplored aspects of Jewish 
history and are a wonderful resource for scholars at all stages: experts and 
also undergraduates beginning their study of Jewish History.


For his commitment and continuing support of the Bibliography Award, AJL would 
like to recognize and thank Mr. Eric Kline of Santa Monica. AJL would also like 
to thank all the members of the Reference & Bibliography Awards committee for 
their diligent work: Anna Levia, Sharon Benamou, Diane Mizrahi, and Daniel 
Kestenbaum. We also extend thanks to previous committee member Haim Gottschalk 
for preparing the committee for success with his own bibliographic efforts.

Re: [ha-Safran] Story request --> found

[Daniel Stuhlman via Hasafran]

I found the story.  I checked several books of I.L. Peretz stories and
didn't find  "My Mother's Kerchief."  I concluded this was not a Peretz
story. With the help of Dr. Google I found a story with the words
"kerchief" and "mother."  I went to my shelves and found a story called
"The Kerchief" by S.Y. Agnon that talked about a kerchief owned by the
narrator's mother.  I sent a copy of the story to the patron and she said,
"That's the story."

To summarize :   The patron had the wrong author, the wrong title, and the
wrong original language.
Many catalog records have formatted contents notes.  This helps patrons
find stories in anthologies.

I asked for help and no one was able to give even a reasonable suggestion.
Suggesting that I contact XYZ Library is not much help.  This was a
published story, not an archival or unique story.
