Re: [ha-Safran] Buying books

[Aileen Grossberg via Hasafran]

I’ve been using Baker& Taylor for years.  Their discounts snd services are good 
  And the reps are helpful even if you are a small libraryBut you do need to go 
elsewhere for specialized Judaica. Publishers may be able to work with you

I hope that helps.

Subject: [ha-Safran] Buying books

We have recently revitalized our synagogue library moving everything onto an 
online catalog (using Opals).
Now we are looking for recommendations for purchasing new books. Years ago we 
used Baker and Taylor but am looking for other possibilities. Are religious 
organizations given discounts?
Appreciate all suggestions.

Many thanks

Re: [ha-Safran] Checking out books

[Aileen Grossberg via Hasafran]

 I agree with Amalia. Our congregation is very fluid. It is time consuming to 
issue and keep track of barcodes especially if you are just getting on line. I 
do not use patron bar codes in either library where I work. It works just fine.

Re: [ha-Safran] question

[Aileen Grossberg via Hasafran]

 We have a file with a card for each member. The member finds the card in the 
file, paperclips the book circulation card to the name card and leaves it in a 
designated box. When I come into the library the next time , I entered the 
information into our circ system.
It's simple and works as long as the files are up-to-date and if the book 
borrowers follow instructions.
if you have a volunteer in charge on Shabbat, there should be no problems.

Re: [ha-Safran] Beth David Library (Reform) in Westminster California is Being cut in half.

[Aileen Grossberg via Hasafran]

 Toby,
So beautifully put especially your point about having the clergy and staff 
promote the library.
 I feel fortunate to still have a job even though it's only 6 hours a week, 
have had the same salary for 10 years ( it's sort of a trade-off for flexible 
vacation time), the same budget of $1800, and do Hebrew School lessons weekly 
and see the preschool for storytime. No time to promote the library; no money 
to do meaningful or memorable programming. People who do use the library praise 
it. I often get new books before the public library but, as you say, people 
don't think of checking the synagogue despite telling people in real time that 
we have the books they want to read. It's easier to have the books delivered to 
their front doors or to borrow an ebook from the public library.
Our public library- a good one- didn't even promote Jewish American Heritage 
Month with a display, never mind programs that might expose patrons-or 
customers- to Jewish interest books.
Maybe we need to reinvent our selves as learning or literacy centers to appeal 
to younger families.
It seems to be an unsolvable problem, but one which AJL is doing it's best to 
help solve.

cut back librarian hours to the point of ridiculousness back in 2017 and still

library to a multi-use room. All both needed, in my opinion, was more promotion 
from the clergy and staff plus displays in the foyer. The pandemic certainly 
made the situation even worse as people were not in the building for 2 years 
and even now, things are still hybrid.
My take on the demise of time and/or money investment in synagogues libraries 
is 1) Many do not think of checking the synagogue library collection for 
specific titles or browsing like they do the public libraries. 2)  Many people 
nowadays do not value serendipity or the library experience. They buy books 
online or visit independent bookstores. 3) synagogues themselves are changing 
and having to make tough financial choices. 4) Clergy and staff do not promote 
library usage - I cannot explain that one at all! 
This is all especially sad because our Jewish youth are not getting exposed to 
good quality Judaic literature from a curated collection. Books with Jewish 
themes or characters are buried in school and public libraries. 
Thanks to AJL, at least we have access to great recommendations to award 
winning Jewish books. We just have to do our best to promote them. Even sadder 
than the loss of these synagogue libraries is the loss of so many regional JCC 
or Jewish public libraries! 
keep up the good work, AJL!
Toby

office. 400 of the 1800 adult fiction and non-fiction books are staying in the 
new Youth Lounge.  The remaining 1,400 or 1,500 books are going away.  This is 
a nightmare to eliminate the books that are going away from my ResourceMate 
catalog.  Has anyone else had to deal with this?  I have been the Volunteer 
Librarian there for 10 years.

 Lisa,
Thanks for sharing this. I remember being on the Sydney Taylor Book Award 
Committee that year and asking the same question about cute animals in Jewish 
books. Jane Zalben's Benny books were a breakthrough and  the book was 
designated an honor book. Patricia Polacco's The Keeping Quilt was the prize 
recipient that year.

So happy to see that Benny and his family are still around.

Re: [ha-Safran] Looking for a book of ethical questions for high school students

[Aileen Grossberg via Hasafran]

 Linda,

There's a series- not new but still relevant, I think, called You be the Judge. 
It has some ethical questions in it. Although I've used it with younger kids, 
like upper elementary, I think it could be used with highschoolers. Torah Aura 
is the publisher.
There are at least 3 in the series and are available on Amazon and maybe at a 
Jewish seller.

Re: [ha-Safran] Turkey question

[Aileen Grossberg via Hasafran]

Thanks for all the feedback. This question  turned out to be a lot harder than 
I thought since even Hebrew speakers were stumped.

But this is what makes library work both challenging and fun.

Happy Thanksgiving! Adar, adar, adar!

It's actually hard for Americans here to find whole turkeys to roast; the ovens 
are generally so small you could barely fit a whole turkey in. But my daughter 
did see whole turkeys in a supermarket in Bakaa (lots of Yanks) this week. I'm 
Canadian, and we don't normally make as big a thing about Thanksgiving as the 
Americans (we also celebrate our Thanksgiving at harvest time - ha-ha-ha!), but 
my granddaughter goes to an English gan run by Bostonians, and they actually 
did Thanksgiving crafts, just the way you would in an American kindergarten, 
last week. (Apparently some Americans even miss American Christmas so much that 
they do that stuff out of nostalgia -- in Israel! May be an urban legend, but I

is -- Tel Aviv, not Jerusalem!)

Thank you to everyone who tried to answer my question of the sound a turkey 
makes in Hebrew. I received several suggestions as well as some interesting-and

There were a variety of answers, none of which sounds much like gobble, gobble.

The best answer came from my synagogue's operations director, a native Israeli 
who, confirmed one of the suggestions.

A turkey's sound in Hebrew is adar, adar, adar or in some places written hadar, 
hadar, hadar.

If you ask a turkey when Purim is, the turkey will answer Adar, Adar.

[ha-Safran] animal sound

For a Thanksgiving library lesson, I need the sound a turkey makes in Hebrew. A

I'm sure someone out there will have the answer in a flash.

Re: [ha-Safran] thoughts on "Let the celebration begin"

[Aileen Grossberg via Hasafran]

When Let the Celebration Begin first came out there was a huge discussion about 
its appropriateness. Most Judaic children’s librarians had major problems with 
the book and the dissonance between the story and the illustrations. However, 
secular librarians and press seemed very positive about the book. I did not buy 
the book although I like Wild’s artwork and other books. The age range is also 
a problem.

At the time of the book’s publication, I was a school librarian. I did not buy 
the book for my school.

I haven’t seen the reprint but I am glad to hear that there is back matter 
explaining the rationale.

hear that it's done regularly in Israel, I'm generally uncomfortable with 
introducing Holocaust to very young children; how can you relate something so 
horrible without either watering it down or terrifying them? The parents in our 
synagogue agree with me, so I keep those books (acquired before my time) in a 
spot away from the kids. They are listed in our online catalog, so if the 
parents want them, that's their business, but so far none have.

If you look through this Amazon listing, Publisher's Weekly found it 
distasteful (and identified it's audience as age 3-6), but School Library 
Journal liked it (suggesting an audience of grade 4 and up!)

Our school library has just received a donation of a book called "A time for 
toys" by Margaret Wild - It has been more recently been published under the 
title "Let the Celebration begin". Though the front covers are different, the 
rest of the book is the same.  In view of lots of discussion about who should 
write Holocaust books, the softening of the horrors of the camps, and where the 
focusof such stories sit, I am curious to know how people feel about this book. 
 The illustrations (and narrative honestly) make me feel uncomfortable though I 
cannot explain why, and the more recent edition has a rationale and background 
in the back by the author and illustrator.  They talk about the sensitivity of 
the illustrations and storyline, but I am somewhat uncomfortable with the whole 
book.  I would appreciate others' thoughts and insights, and whether you have 
put it in your library.

Re: [ha-Safran] Obsolete media in synagogue libraries

[Aileen Grossberg via Hasafran]

 I've been at my current job for about 9 years. I've not yet had anyone borrow 
a VHS tape or even ask about them. The other day the synagogue's executive 
director just took them all including the furniture case that they were stored 
in and tossed the entire thing. 

I think that's basically the future for these collections even if there is 
good-or even-rare material. Most people don't have the equipment and are more 
likely to stream than insert a piece of plastic or cartridge into a machine.
We can't save everything and unless our libraries are archives and have 
unlimited space, de-accessing is the way to go.
On the other hand, other media such as books have longer lives since there is 
nothing between the user and the medium. This same ED  wants to get rid of all 
the "old" books- mostly religious reference books. So far I've been able to 
keep her hands off those.

Have you all tossed your VHS collections? I’ve kept ours because we still have 
equipment to play them. But really, is it past time to toss them? Any criteria 
for keeping some? People don’t even use DVDs or CDs anymore. In our large (22k 
items) collection we have lots of both. I’d be interested in hearing opinions

[ha-Safran] Manuscript Committee opening

[Aileen Grossberg via Hasafran]

There is currently an opening on the Sydney Taylor Manuscript Award Committee. 
The Committee reviews unpublished manuscripts of Jewish literary fiction for 
ages 8-13 using a standard set of criteria. The winning manuscript (there is 
not always a winning manuscript) receives a cash prize. In the last few years 
several of the manuscripts have been published by both small presses and large 
publishing houses. The committee consists of 5 members plus a chairperson. The 
judging takes place in early winter after the December 31 deadline. For more 
details about the award visit the AJL website. The committee membership 
represents AJL's diverse geographical, philosophical, and professional 
diversity. Current members of another award committee are not eligible. If you 
are interested in serving on this committee (a five year term) please send me a 
resume and writing samples, preferably reviews of children's books.
 Please reply off list as soon as possible

[ha-Safran] immigration question

[Aileen Grossberg via Hasafran]

Hello,great problem solvers,

I have a patron who is doing some genealogical research. He wants to know why 
people did not leave their countries. He is especially interested in Russia.

I know anecdotally what the reasons might be but can't find any substantial  
research articles as he requested.
Any suggestions?

[ha-Safran] VHS needed

[Aileen Grossberg via Hasafran]

Does anyone have a copy of the video of The Cafeteria by Singer. World Cat 
seems to indicate two different ones; 1984 and 2000. 

It looks like it was never made into a DVD. The item is no longer available for 
purchase as far as I can tell.
Of course, I'd take it in any form.

If so, would you be willing to lend it to me for use in a class?

Re: [ha-Safran] Looking for specific Passover picture book

[Aileen Grossberg via Hasafran]

 Eric Kimmel wrote When Mindy Saved Hanukkah about a tiny family who rescues 
the Hanukkah candle in the face of a big cat but Mindy is not a mouse. However, 
there is a grandfather and it's set in the Eldridge Street Synagogue. Great 
Story nut wrong holiday. You could probably adapt it for Passover.

Or it could be The Passover Mouse but there's no Mindy or synagogue, as I

I want to find a book that I used to use as a script for play theater. I'm 
hoping someone out there in the world of children's Jewish picture books will 
know it.It takes place in a synagogue, I believe located on the Lower East Side 
of NY, where a family of (Jewish) mice live behind the wall. When the family 
realizes that there is chametz on the top shelf of the Aron HaKodesh, the girl 
mouse in the family is the heroine that outwits the synagogue cat, with the 
help and support of her grandfather, and gets the chametz. Does this ring any

This question was posed to AJL on our Facebook page. Does anyone know the 
answer?

"My daughter just got engaged and I'd like to send her a book I remember from 
at least 30 years ago--maybe much longer.
It's a children's book in which an eastern European Jew is trying to plan a 
wedding and gets input on what is the best thing to serve--pure spring water 
comes up as a good option because it's so good.
Does anyone know what I'm thinking of? Do you remember the author and title?"

[ha-Safran] pages needed

A congregant desperately needs pages from a book for a reading on Rosh 
Hashanah. Recordings are being done on Tuesday. Our copy is long overdue and I 
have no hopes of getting it back; local libraries have none, and there's not 
enough time to order.
If a generous librarian could send pages, it would be most appreciated. There 
are a lot, so I understand if it is impossible but I told her thast i'd try.
The book is Beginning Anew: a women's companion to the High Holidays by Reimer 
and Kates.
The pages are 127-201, but especially 127-145 and 174-200.
Thank you.

What a great conference. Thanks you to everyone who made it happen. I'm sure it 
wasn't easy and it was disappointing not to have th conference in Evanston. 

But though we lost some things, the gain seemed to be immense. So many more 
people were able to attend and the virtual platform allowed last minute 
additions to the program without scrambling for time and space.
And getting there was so easy- no delays and comfortable accommodations.

that is being converted into an official library. Of course my synagogue will 
be joining AJL.

Another shul member who already works in a public school will be in charge of 
children's collection. She wanted to know what program works best for a 
collection of about 1,000 title. We want to be able to check out books using a 
scanner, so I'd also appreciate a suggestion as to what scanner you'd recommend.

Todah Rabbah and Shannah Tovah,

Re: [ha-Safran] Using microfiche in the 70s

[Aileen Grossberg via Hasafran]

The better machines had printers attached. Unfortunately, the quality was often 
poor. The reference book you remember  was probably green bound  The Readers' 
Guide to Periodical Literature.

It certainly was a tedious process, but it did work.

Subject: [ha-Safran] Using microfiche in the 70s

Hi Friends, 

I am trying to recall how we used microfiche before email. If someone in the 
1970s wanted to research newspapers what was the process? In my recollection it 
started with looking up the topic in a large reference book, locating the 
appropriate article and ordering the film from the research office in the 
library. What I don’t remember is how we made copies of the film from the 
reader. I’m working on a project and I want to be sure I am accurate. 
Thanks in advance for any help!
All best,Barbara Bietz

I echo those sentiments. I use OPALS in two small libraries (about 5000 volumes 
each) and am very happy with it.

I am presently volunteering in my synagogue's library in Massachusetts.  We are 
looking into automating it and I was wondering if you had any companies that 
you can recommend.
thanks very much.

Re: [ha-Safran] Younger Borrowers

[Aileen Grossberg via Hasafran]

Well said, Rachel.
I do basically the same with a letter home, but I do make it clear that the 
parent is responsible for lost items. The Library can bill the parents as part 
of the regular billing procedure.
Because the library is not staffed a good part of the time, the preschool is 
the only part of the school that has regular check-out time. Everyone else is 
on the honor system.
I must say that the little kids -and their parents- are much more responsible 
about returning items than the grown-ups are.

div.yiv9848550227WordSection1 {} #yiv9848550227 I’m struggling to fathom why 
any school, synagogue or community center library that maintains a circulating 
children’s collection would create obstacles that would prevent children from 
checking out books.  Why do you need an OK from a responsible adult?  My 
children check out library books from their public school library and I have 
never been asked to provide consent.  It is part of the curriculum.  I would 
doubt that day school librarians require parental consent to use the school 
library. I’m not sure why a supplemental Hebrew School ay a synagogue (or JCC) 
should be viewed any differently.     As I wrote to Lee privately, children at 
our synagogue begin checking out books from the Library starting with the 
3-year-old preschool classes and continuing with all of the religious school 
classes PK-7th grade.  At the beginning of the school year we enter all of the 
students into our system. We also send home a letter to the parents, letting 
them know their children will be checking out books, explaining the library 
program, and inviting them to visit with their children to check out even more 
books.  During the 2017-2018 school year, religious school students checked out 
540 items and our preschool students checked out 911 items.  Over 98% were 
returned before the summer.  Close to 1500 hundred Jewish books went into 
Jewish homes – this is what we are all about.  I consider the loss of a couple 
dozen books each year the cost of doing business.  Moreover, most of the 
missing books are eventually found or returned.  (I also look at it as natural 
weeding!).      I really discourage you from creating lots of rules and 
policies.  It will just make more work for you and make the library less 
inviting, less accessible, and less used!    Feel free to contact me if anyone 
has any questions or wants to discuss further.  I am also happy to share our 
circulation policies.    Rachel Kamin, Director The Joseph and Mae Gray

Subject: Re: [ha-Safran] Younger Borrowers    Per my earlier note to this list 
(copied below) I promised to summarize responses I received.  I heard from 
three colleagues, reporting their experience and opinions about adding younger 
borrowers to our temple library's lending service.    The responses were 
unanimous that we needed the ok of a responsible adult for accountability.      
Regarding a cut-off age for lending, their as a wide range of opinion. One 
library allows children as young as preschoolers to borrow books, while the 
others suggested 13 as the minimum age. In retrospect, I can see how libraries 
might differ on such points depending on their circumstances. Since our library 
is unstaffed most hours and we use a self-check system, we cannot expect 
younger children 

[ha-Safran] genealogy

[Aileen Grossberg via Hasafran]

I've been asked to provide some resources for a teacher in our religious 
school-grades 5-7- on genealogy. He also asked for material on Sephardic 
genealogy.


I have found almost nothing in print for the age group and online sources are 
pretty sophisticated.


Any ideas  would be helpful.
