Dear AJL members, 
 
I am thrilled to announce that Gail Shirazi is the 2024 Fanny Goldstein Merit Award Winner.
 
Serving 47 years at the Library of Congress, Gail has contributed immensely to our community of Jewish libraries through her far-reaching collection development efforts at LC and across other libraries, by
 arranging numerous public programs in different venues, by connecting AJL members with other colleagues, and by serving on several AJL annual conference and programming committees. Gail’s boundless advocacy and passion are unforgettable, and her extraordinary
 comradery is an inspiration to us all. Please see the attached PR for more information.
 
Congratulations, Gail! We are so proud of you!!!  

 
I thank my FGA committee members for their help in selecting such a deserving AJL member for this prestigious award: Daniel Scheide and Aviva Rosenberg.
 
Please join me in congratulating Gail on her well-deserved recognition by email and/or by attending the June annual conference in San Diego, where she will be receiving her award.

 
Thank you, 
Rachel

Annette’s system is very good. My problem was (a long time ago) sometimes to read the handwritten info from the clipboard. The problem was when they wrote the book title of a multi copy title I had to figure out which copy was checked out,,especially,  when two patrons needed the same copy. The idea to text the librarian the barcode is brilliant! All this was 15 years ago when this option was not available .Fortunately my library is now very big. It serves a few synagogues, the JCC and the general public so now they offer tiny borrower cards. Amalia W.Sent from my iPadOn Feb 27, 2024, at 12:54 AM, Aileen Grossberg  wrote:

Hello, can anyone suggest reviews or commentary with a Jewish lens or from a Jewish perspective on James McBride’s novel, "Heaven & Earth Grocery Store”? FWIW, it’s been named a best book of the year by NPR/Fresh Air, Washington Post, The New Yorker, and Time Magazine. Also one of Barack Obama's favorite books of 2023.  I am only ~35 pages in but some of the Yiddishkeit feels “off” to me. I can’t tell yet whether (IMO) it just needed a closer read by an editor very familiar with Jewish immigrant culture of that time...or the issues run deeper.  If you’ve read it I’d also value your own opinions, offline if you prefer (or if you don’t think they would be of interest to the list.) Thanks for your consideration.  Joel Joel Bresler (he/him/his)Consultant, Bresler Associates250 E.

The Association of Jewish Libraries is an international, professional organization that fosters access to information and research in all forms of media relating to all things
 Jewish.

The ICRC's Mission Statement
The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) is an impartial, neutral and independent organization whose exclusively humanitarian mission is
 to protect the lives and dignity of victims of armed conflict and other situations of violence and to provide them with assistance.

The ICRC also endeavours to prevent suffering by promoting and strengthening humanitarian law and universal humanitarian principles.

Established in 1863, the ICRC is at the origin of the Geneva Conventions and the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement. It directs and coordinates the international activities conducted by the Movement in armed conflicts

Thank you.

 and screaming into the underground hell tunnels of Gaza: babies, children, teens, young men and women, mothers, fathers, grandmothers, grandfathers. Surely the Red Cross cannot fail to recognize these events as War Crimes against humanity! We call upon the
 Red Cross to fulfill their mission to protect the lives and dignity of these helpless victims, and to provide them with assistance.

Erica, Good point. Israel has been aware for years that the Red Cross makes no effort when it comes to Israelis. It is their choice, yet, I hope that letters to them will be be helpful.

Good morning, everyone:One additional point to follow Arthur's message. And it is very much centered on the AJL mission of fostering access to information—to accurate information.Prompted by a massage in another group, I reached out to the ICRC during the first days after October 7. Along with requesting information about what specifically they were doing for the hostages (and noting that we were already aware of serious injuries among them, notably in the case of Hersh Goldberg-Polin), I noted that I was troubled by these lines within their public statement: "The ICRC has been present in Israel and the occupied territories since
1967. This includes the occupied Palestinian territory of Gaza and the
West Bank, including East Jerusalem." This point was not addressed in their (mostly boilerplate) response to me, which I received October 13. And the language remains unchanged on their website today.I would encourage those who may be writing to them now to correct their misinformation about a presumed Israeli occupation of Gaza "since 1967."

Re: [ha-Safran] re Baruch Dayan HaEmet - Jean Lettofsky's passing

2023-10-30 Thread Amalia Warshenbrot via Hasafran

Natalie,I have fond me of your late husband from the years that I used to work in Akiba Hebrew Academy. He was a walking encyclopedia.I want to mention Lillian Schwartz. In the early nineties she shared with the conference attendees an idea for fundraising. It was a very successful program in the synagogues here in Charlotte, NC.I have met Jean as well. All were an asset to Judaic educators which includes librarians.Zichronam Livrachah, Amalia W. Sent from my iPadOn Oct 30, 2023, at 5:34 PM, Natalie Gorvine via Hasafran wrote:

Re: [ha-Safran] Explaining what's happening in Israel to Americans

2023-10-11 Thread Amalia Warshenbrot via Hasafran

Diane,
What you demonstrate gives a clear picture. I’m an Israeli who lives in North 
Carolina.
My email was similar. 
I was glued to the Israeli TV from the start.  Words that I heard from eye 
witness and politicians alike that shook me were:
“No different than ISIS” (Americans can relate to it)
“Pogrom” (Jews can relate to it)
“Helpless” was repeated by survivors (everyone can relate to it)
“Cruel wild animals” 
The word that I didn’t hear was “killed”, but I heard “murdered” close to a 
thousand times.
I watched mothers and siblings cry and scream that every minute of not knowing 
the fate of their loved feels like days, months and years.
This is the WORST since the Holocaust and definitely feels like  we relive the 
Sep. 11th shock.
Thanks,
Amalia

Hi Bob, I also use subject headings on the shelves to guide patrons. I use Elazar, but it doesn't matter. Start with the big stuff in larger type, like "Tanach" (or Bible or both), "Halacha" (or Jewish Law & Thought or both), "Literature", "Sociology", "History", etc, then subdivide in smaller type, focusing on areas with a lot of material or that you know your patrons will want to know about. Also, always include the classification #.For instance, under 001-099 Tanach, I have "010.5  Dead Sea Scrolls", under 100-199 Jewish Thought, I have "180.1  Martin Buber" and under 500-599 Literature I have "550.9185  Anthologies, Sci Fi". I also show ranges, like "020-024  Genesis-Deuteronomy".Hope that helps.Rachel HausLibrary DirectorCongregation of Moses Fisher LibraryKalamazoo MI

Elliot, I knew that I can count on you.Both Bayla and you are very helpful. It was more than I expected.Most of the women in the study-group that I lead did not know that Isaac Bashevis Singer had a sister, not to mention an author on her own right. A few did not know that he had a brother that wrote stories as well.The editors of the book Frankly Feminist chose Esther Singer Kreitman’s story to open the anthology.

This is happening to my temple library too.  We have sold our current building and are renting it back for 3 years, but the outer building where the library filled two rooms with
 over 7,000 volumes has been unavailable to us from the time of the sale.  The books are all packed in boxes and stored in the attic of the sanctuary.  The new building will almost certainly not have a room (or rooms) dedicated solely to the library but will
 most likely have a conference room or some such with shelves around the perimeter.  Obviously most of the books will not fit and I just don’t even know what we can do with so many discarded books.  It breaks my heart because I started this library and have
 added to it and run it for over 25 years and I think it is a fine collection.  I am a volunteer (with a library science degree from 1973) and I don’t really want to even deal with this situation. I am dreading the day when the administrator asks me to do it. 
 But if I say NO as this point I have no idea who would do it.

Dear Judaica Librarians:

 


My library at Beth David in Westminster, California is being cut in half.  They need the classroom for the Youth Lounge.  The Youth Lounge is being turned into a preschool classroom to make more money for the synagogue as the Preschool
 has a waiting list.


The 1,100 childrens and teen books are going into the Religious School Directors office. The 100 reference books are going into the Rabbi's 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.

Thank you for recognizing me, but much more importantly for recognizing Jewish advocacy work as significant and worth awarding. With deep thanks to Heidi Rabinowitz, who has been my partner for so much of this Jewish book equity work. I am so proud of the projects and communities we have created. Also thank you to my colleagues at ALA and the Association of Jewish Libraries and to everyone in the library, bookselling and publishing fields who have been so supportive of Jewish books. Thank you to my synagogue colleagues and library patrons, who I have been working for. I am also honored to be recognized for my mentoring. That is truly an important part of my professional life and I am so proud of my mentees and what they have accomplished. I really feel this is a group award, for all the work we have done together, to expand the world of Jewish books for all Jewish and non-Jewish readers. We have done so much... and we have so much more to do.Toda raba.

The Association of Jewish Libraries (AJL) is proud to announce that longtime member Rachel Leket-Mor has been named the 2023 Fanny Goldstein Merit Award Winner. The award, named for the librarian, social activist, and founder of National Jewish Book Month, is bestowed in recognition of loyal and ongoing contributions to the AJL and to the profession of Judaica librarianship. Rachel Leket-Mor began her career as a Hebrew language editor at publishing houses in Israel. She edited translated fiction, scholarly articles, and monographs, mostly related to Jewish history, political science, and holocaust studies, in collaboration with authors, translators, and in-house editors. She began at Arizona State University (ASU) Library in 2002, first as the Jewish studies bibliographer, building collections, supporting curriculum and research, and providing specialized reference assistance. After two years in this position, she worked as a subject librarian for Jewish studies, religious studies, philosophy, and medieval and Renaissance studies until 2017 and is currently the open stack collections curator. In this role, she provides leadership for the selection, management, and disposition of print collections and openly accessible resources. She also works with, trains, and guides selectors on purchasing materials. She holds two master’s degrees, a Master in Information Resources and Library Science from University of Arizona and an MA in Translation Studies from Tel Aviv University. Rachel’s involvement with the AJL began when she joined the Association in 2003 as a new Judaica librarian. Her professional involvement in the Association began in 2007, when she co-chaired that year’s annual conference in Scottsdale, Arizona, with Haim Gottschalk. The following year, she was elected vice president of AJL’s Research, Archives, and Special Collections Division (RAS), serving alongside RAS President Jim Rosenbloom (2008–2010). As RAS president (2010–2012), she collaborated with Schools, Synagogues, and Centers Division President Joyce Levine to conduct a member survey to study trends in Judaica libraries and anticipate future developments across the AJL divisions. The survey results, including the number of librarians in AJL libraries, their educational level, age and years of service, and retirement plans, were used in AJL strategic and leadership organizational planning. Rachel served on several AJL strategic planning committees, from 2008 to 2010 and from 2013 to 2016, and has served on the AJL Council since 2007 and on the Association’s Constitution and Bylaws Committee since 2022. In 2012, Rachel became the editor of Judaica Librarianship, AJL’s peer-reviewed journal. A year later, she transferred the print-only publication to electronic publishing, set up the electronic platform and a new peer-review process, designed a new textual “nusaḥ,” and acquired the Adobe InDesign skills needed for the production of scholarly works. She arranged for each issue to become open access 12 months after publication and moved the journal to complete open access when shifting it to a new electronic platform with the Open Journal Systems in early 2020. Opening the journal to all resulted in a significantly increased number of readers and better exposure to AJL. For the journal’s fortieth anniversary this year, she has led an AJL volunteer team in a project to upload the remainder of the journal’s back issues, following prior success with making volumes 9–16/17 available online. Lisa Silverman, award committee chair, commented, “On behalf of the Fanny Goldstein Merit Award committee, we are proud to have the opportunity to honor Rachel Leket-Mor as this year’s recipient of the Award. Rachel has contributed so much to AJL, to the field of Judaica librarianship, and to librarianship as a profession overall. Her work on the AJL journal Judaica Librarianship has been invaluable to the organization. Rachel personifies the values and legacy of the Award’s namesake, Fanny Goldstein, who devoted her life to books and her community.” Rachel will receive her award on Monday, June 19, 2023, at

Lastly, none of it would have been possible without the digitized files, an undertaking headed by Laurel Wolfson at HUC years ago.  Just in time for the fortieth anniversary of AJL’s peer-reviewed Judaica Librarianship, all back issues of the journal are available online. Read away!... Share any articles (don’t forget to cite… see a formatted citation + DOI/URL under “how to cite” on each article page)—and please, please, please let me know if you spot any problems, so I can fix them.  Congratulations, AJLers!

Aileen,
Wendie is right, but, I think that the Israelis see no difference between a 
chicken’s  sound and a turkey. If I’m wrong, I apologize to Wendy.

Re: [ha-Safran] Is the collection The Man Who Sold Air in the Holy Land, Short Stories, by Omer Friedlander written by Hebrew ? (Amalia Warshenbrot)

2022-10-04 Thread Amalia Warshenbrot via Hasafran

Friends,
It is strange that a book by an Israeli author has yet to be translated into 
Hebrew when it was translated to several languages.
It took several years till Ayelet Tsabari’s stories were translated. 
Thanks for the info. Any additional info will be appreciated. I’ll get the 
Ha’Arez article later today.

I don't think that the detailed attachment will come through, so I won't post 
it, but I just received an announcement from the IAWE (Israel Association of 
Writers in English) about this upcoming event that is very much of interest in 
this context:

"Our opening IAWE event for 2002–2003 is 'Insider/Outsider: Writing in English 
about Israel,' featuring Ayelet Tsabari and Omer Friedlander, on Zoom."

As mentioned on the IAWE website 
(https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.iawe.org.il/__;!!KGKeukY!y0eXDbmlQmK0MRyvWbonwXodPFkA_pAJJD3LN99d_IFMqwKFxbMiImqQC4FwvD04ROYo2y6gLVdx1robnza8$
  ), this event will take place October 27 at 7pm Israel time. Join the mailing 
list as invited on the website to receive additional information.

Hi Amalia,

   to learn more. 
 
I discovered him when his short story “Alte Sachen” was one of the finalists 
for the Chicago Tribune’s Nelson Algren Literary Award and the story was 
published in the paper in June 2020. I located two of his other stories online 
(“Jellyfish in Gaza” and “Operation Tamar”) and discussed them with my short 
story discussion group during the pandemic. So I was really excited to see that 
his debut collection of stories, The Man Who Sold Air in the Holy Land, was 
being published this year by Random Hoyse. "Alte Sachen" and "Jellyfish in 
Gaza" are still my favorites but "Jaffa Oranges," "Checkpoint," “The Sephardi 
Survivor,” and the title story are excellent too. While some of the other 
stories aren't as strong, Friedlander is a fresh, new young voice and this 
solid collection definitely deserves a place alongside Israeli and expat 
writers like Etgar Keret, Ayelet Tsabari, Eshkol Nevo, and Nicole Krauss. I 
highly recommend it!

The book does not show in the two largest  Israeli chains of book stores’

Re: [ha-Safran] ISO: book selection policy for day school library

2022-09-29 Thread Amalia Warshenbrot via Hasafran

Esther,
The book THE JEWISH LIBRARY  HANDBOOK has a chapter on collection development.
The book was published by AJL in 2016. It  is inexpensive and is worth the 
investment.

[ha-Safran] FW: The reason for warding the Fanny Goldstein Merit Award to Elliot Gertel

Subject: The reason for warding the Fanny Goldstein Merit Award to Elliot 
Gertel 

I read with interest Emily Bergman’s article about Elliot Gertel in the last 
issue of AJL News & Reviews (pages 2-3). Since I assume that it was a delayed 
info to offer the reasons to award Elliot the Fanny Goldstein Merit Award 
(2019), Allow me to add that the Fanny Goldstein Award, is a combination of two 
previous awards to AJL members: one for contributions to Judaic librarianship, 
which is listed in Emily’s article, and one to AJL.

I wish to list Elliot’s positions on the AJL Board and Council:

1. Secretary of the Board and Council from 2002-2004
2. RAS vice-president 2004-2006. In this position he chaired the Judaica 
Bibliography and Reference Awards Committee.

 3. RAS president from 2006-2008. Presidents take an active role in planning a 
conference. It is never an easy task.
All this in addition to more years than I can recall of acting as AJL liaison 
to ALA. In this position, with compassion and diligence, he represented AJL 
through many events and was fighting passionately to defeat the repeated 
anti-Israel resolutions.
 
Thank you, Emily, for highlighting Elliot’s many journeys. How little most 
members knew!
 
Amalia Warshenbrot, AJL past president

[ha-Safran] Mazal tov to the new AJL Board

2022-06-10 Thread Amalia Warshenbrot via Hasafran

Mazal to the Michelle on becoming AJL president. I remember calling Michelle 
Superwoman when she was the unofficial co-chair of the conference in New York.
She was efficient and graceful.
I had the pleasure of working with Sean. Sean is an asset to AJL. His knowledge 
of technology and ability to be a team player  are remarkable.
Congratulations to my friend Aaron and to new promising librarians that will 
bring fresh ideas as well as continue AJL mission.
Amalia W. Past President

Re: [ha-Safran] Conference 2022 Update: Member Awards and Scholarships

2022-06-01 Thread Amalia Warshenbrot via Hasafran

Mazal tov to all the recipients of the AJL awards.  
  The fanny Goldstein Merit Award. The info  below lists very few of Lisa’s 
contributions to the  profession of Jewish librarianship. Lisa was instrumental 
 in the success of the past few confernces. She introduced us to the Socio app 
and worked hard to secure the hotel and the meeting spaces in the museum. Lisa 
was the SSC president.
  The most evident example of promoting Jewish and non-Jewish children’s 
literature and literacy is her involvement in the children’s Literature 
conferences and her work with Suzi Dubin chairing the AJL Western Regional 
Children’s Literature Conferences in LA for close to five years.  Lisa’s  
wonderful reviews of Children’s five years.  Lisa’s  wonderful reviews of 
Children’s Books for the  LA Jewish Journal and  her work as the editor of the 
children books reviews  at the JBW  (Jewish Book Council) quarterly magazine  
served many librarians in the selection of books for their libraries. Lisa is 
much more than her list of activities.  In addition to her work locally and for 
AJL, Lisa has gone to Germany (and, if I am not wrong other cities in Europe) 
to speak on Children’s Holocaust Literature and children books.  She would not 
have been selected as a judge for the Younger Readers Once Upon a World and the 
National Book Award if she did not prove herself as expert in the field.  Lisa 
has given numerous workshops on many topics and in particularly in Holocaust 
picture books for children.  Lisa took the AJL Bibliography Bank to a higher 
level by making it searchable.
If I forgot something  apologize!
Mazal tov Lisa!
Groner- Wikler award There is no need to introduce Heidi.  Just like Lisa she 
deserves this award.
Congratulations Heid!.
Accreditation The accreditation is guidance to excellence.  Special greetings 
to the recipients.
Student Scholarships: I  hope that the students will see this scholarship as an 
opening invitation to getting involved in AJL.

At her  Second Sunday Book-Club Annette Goldsmith hosted Sharon Hart-Green 
author of the book Come Back for Me.
If you are looking for an idea for a book for your Book-Club this book can 
generate good discussions.
The author lives in Toronto, but,  ZOOM meetings has proven to be  the best 
solution to overcome  geographic limitations.
Thank you, Annette, for an interesting meeting,

Shalom,
Having on the website a list with  with the library type (for example: day 
school or synagogue)  and  cataloging system like Elazar, Dweyev, Library of 
Congress will be very helpful to a librarian, library volunteer or new 
librarian when s/he is debating on the right number and subjects, not to 
mention other info.
I’m glad that Sean volunteered to create such a list (please see below). This 
is what peer support means. It is one of AJL’s missions.

Thank you, Michelle for posting the guidelines.  Hasafran moderator is a 
volunteer and a very busy librarian.  Checking message is very time consuming.  
As past presidnet I feel guilty for not creating clear guidelines. I hope that 
AJL Board will add to the rules below.
I feel that every person that post a message should add the  institution’s name 
 and contact info beyond the email address (and, of course her/his name) . It 
can be helpful.

Dear colleagues,
 
For decades, Hasafran has been a place where librarians could learn more about 
the myriad aspects of Judaica librarianship, network, and help one another. 
There is sometimes confusion as to what is appropriate on Hasafran, and we now 
have clear guidelines for the list posted below and on the AJL website 
(https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://jewishlibraries.org/hasafran-listserv/__;!!KGKeukY!nSejytx-RCwscuqXypCiFS25ZPlzwGB9B9llZU07ymrWzytwGaNlxRw6rqhJ_91YmAw$
 )
Hasafran is a professional listserv for librarians and others to discuss Jewish 
books, Judaica librarianship, and related topics. Due to the volume of emails 
coming through the list, we endeavor to keep it on topic and will not post 
messages that do not relate to the mission of AJL and its members.
Hate speech of any kind will not be tolerated and is grounds for immediate 
revocation of listserv privileges. This includes any derogatory speech based on 
race, religion, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender, or other identity or 
belief. Personal attacks on specific individuals are never acceptable. 
Courtesy: Please be courteous in all communications. This includes mindfulness 
of whether your post contributes to an ongoing conversation; whether it should 
be “reply all” or reply only to the original poster. 
Paid Advertisements: Advertisements may be posted to Hasafran for a fee. For 
questions about the advertisement policy, please contact Jackie Ben-Efraim at 
ajladmana...@gmail.com
Repeat offenders of this policy will be removed from the list without warning.
With best wishes for a wonderful Passover to all who celebrate!

The Association of Jewish Libraries Announces
the 2022 Fanny Goldstein Merit Award Winner

The Association of Jewish Libraries (AJL) is proud to announce that longtime 
member Lisa Silverman has been named the 2022 Fanny Goldstein Merit Award 
Winner. The award, named for the librarian, social activist, and founder of 
National Jewish Book Month, is bestowed in recognition of loyal and ongoing 
contributions to the Association of Jewish Libraries and to the profession of 
Judaica librarianship.

Lisa Silverman began her career as a day school librarian at the Sinai Akiba 
Academy in Los Angeles and Adat Ari El Day School in Valley Village, 
California. She spent 15 years as the library director at Sinai Temple in Los 
Angeles, providing library services and educational programming for the day 
school, religious school, and synagogue community including teaching adult 
education classes, facilitating book groups, and hosting author events, family 
programs, and film discussions. In 2015, Lisa became the library director of 
the Burton Sperber Jewish Community Library at the American Jewish University 
in Los Angeles where she designed the new space, built the collection, and 
provided extensive programming. She also developed and launched a new online 
digital Jewish Community Library Consortium of California in partnership with 
the Jewish Community Library of San Francisco.

Lisa’s involvement with the Association of Jewish Libraries began when she 
attended her first conference in Los Angeles in 1992, and she has made 
countless contributions to the organization and the profession over the past 30 
years. She was the president and vice president of the then Synagogue, Schools 
& Center Division and served as chair of the Bibliography Bank and on its 
nominating committee. Lisa served as the national conference chairperson for 
three years, co-chaired the 2019 conference in Woodland Hills, and was 
instrumental in the planning of the two online conferences in 2020 and 2021. 
Lisa has also been a leader in the Southern California Chapter of AJL where she 
was honored with the Dorothy Schroder Achievement Award in 2009 and co-founded 
the AJL Western Regional Children’s Literature Conference. AJL President 
Kathleen Bloomfield remarked, "I am so happy that Lisa SIlverman is this year's 
Fanny Goldstein winner. Lisa was a huge help to me when I established 
ForWordsBooks, my Jewish book fair business, back in 1990. She has been an 
ongoing supporter of my work with AJL, including providing guidance as I moved 
into leadership positions within the organization. I am honored to have her as 
a colleague, and most of all as a friend."

Known nationally and internationally as an expert on Jewish children’s 
literature, Lisa was recently the co-editor of children and teen book reviews 
for AJL Reviews and served as the children’s editor for Jewish Book World 
magazine for six years. She was the children’s book reviewer for the Jewish 
Journal of Los Angeles for many years and has published numerous reviews in 
other magazines such as School Library Journal, Catholic Library World, and 
Five Owls. She has served as a judge for the National Jewish Book Awards for 
fifteen years and also served as a judge for the Museum of Tolerance Once Upon 
A World Children’s Book Award. In addition to numerous presentations at AJL 
conferences, Lisa has presented on Jewish literature at a variety of 
conferences and settings, including the Charlotte Huck Children’s Literature 
Conference, California School Library Association, the Mazza Museum of 
Children’s Literature, the United States Board on Books for Young People, the 
International Board on Books for Young People Conference in Copenhagen, 
Denmark, and the International Association of Children’s Literature Conference

Re: [ha-Safran] Controversial book

2022-03-04 Thread Amalia Warshenbrot via Hasafran

Marcia, 
Judy did all she can do. The issue was brought to my attention by a children 
book author and I’m sure that she will email soon.
The book troubles me for more than one reason, how come even Golda Meir or 
women from the Bible are not mentioned as AMAZING WOMEN OF THE MIDDLE EAST. 
This is the third book with a map with no mention of the State if Israel and we 
can always contact the publisher.
Having said that we, as a Jewish organization,  must be careful when we object 
to a book about Muslim women. In addition librarians can’t censor books. 
Amazon welcomes reviews. Individual librarians are welcome to post a personal 
review on their website.
Thanks for bringing it to HaSafran subscribers,

Circulation in my synagogue library is definitely way down. COVID is absolutely 
the reason. 

A lot of things that draw patrons have been virtual such as Shabbat services, 
religious school, adult education, social events like book clubs and mahjong... 
even funerals, etc. And there are fewer people in the building in general, 
including staff, who also check out books. 

But I do feel like my circulation is just starting to revive. It's so nice to 
see books checked out and to see patrons again.

It seems to be an "a la carte" system of payment.

Re: [ha-Safran] Michelle Chesner library support

2022-01-03 Thread Amalia Warshenbrot via Hasafran

I agree with Rachel. The small/er Orthodox synagogue is different from a large 
synagogue from another denomination. Public libraries  in large cities, in 
areas where many Orthodox Jews live make sure to have a collection that serves 
these communities. The children get the books in their day schools. 
A collection of books in a room is a blessing, but AJL, as the LEADING 
AUTHORITY IN JUDAIC LIBRARIANSHIP,  can’t offer that room an accreditation. 
I’m my few years as the chairperson of the Accreditation Committee, only one 
library was not eligible for accreditation  on the basic level because of the 
size, the small number of operation and making of the collection.
Wishing all libraries to grow and have skilled librarians,

Subject: What are the criteria for calling the books in a dedicated space a 
library. 

Ilka is asking two valid questions (see below).
1.What are the criteria for calling the books in a dedicated space a  library.
The requirements for basic accreditation is 1,500  books (members can view the 
application at  AJL-Basic_Accreditation-2022.docx (live.com) . As past past 
past chair of the Accreditation Commiittee  I believe that  this is a good 
number. The books, music and other teaching aids must be cataloged. 
 The library should be  staffed with a trained librarian or a person with 
Judaic knowledge. 
It is important to have a budget for acquisition.  Without new books and other 
library material it is only a room with old  books.  Many might be outdated or 
in poor condition.  The borrowing and collection development policies (which 
includes weeding)  need to be  approved by the library committee. 
 2.What  will qualify for the support the donor would like to give to a 
synagogue library?.
I will add to the above an attractive welcoming well lit space with clear 
signs, opened and staffed AT LEAST 10 hours a week.  Also it will be easier to 
attract a donor with good programs,  written articles and  publicity. 
I have been retired for many years.  I am sure that my colleagues can add a few 
more MUST haves.

Barns and Noble used to give books, but they will not come to your synagogue.   
You will get a certain percentage of the sale.   They also gave  bags and other

I don’t know if they are still dingo it and if they do it in every location,

Kar-Ben offers online book fairs, as well as on-site fairs where books can be 
viewed and orders taken. Please let me know if you’d like more information 
about either of these. You might also try your local indie bookstore that might 
be willing to come in, although they’d likely need to pre-order Jewish books to 
have on hand. Another alternative is to invite an author of a Purim book to 
come for a reading and book sale/signing.

Annette raises an issue that many of you face as well. How to reduce the mailing list?I have over 50 addresses two programs for each when only 20 attend regularly.My communication person has emailed several emails asking the recipients to let her know If they are interested in remaining on the list. Even the 2O “regulars” did not reply. I have started a new list with those 20. I plan to delete the list 6 months after the date that we can meet in person. Does anyone have other suggestions?Annette work is going BEYOND the call of duty. It’s a good idea to open it to the Hasafran list. I live in North Carolina, but attend one program in Long Island and one in New Jersey.I hope that it will continue on ZOOM when meeting in person is possible, but, still need to reduce the list.Amalia W.Sent from my iPadOn Dec 7, 2021, at 8:20 AM, Annette Goldsmith via Hasafran wrote:Dear Safranim,I run a monthly virtual book club for adults at my Temple. It's called the Second Sunday Book Club and the next one is this Sunday, Dec. 12, at 1:00 pm PT/4:00 pm ET. People just talk about what they're reading, Jewish or not, so there's no preparation required. I wanted a no-stress book club. I started it during the pandemic, when Zoom was the obvious way to go, but even as some things have opened up again I want to continue the book club online because older and more isolated people can easily attend -- and who wants to drive in LA traffic anyway? My problem is that I had only a few people from the congregation at the start, and now they do not come at all, even though some say that they intend to come -- or come back -- sometime. I advertise the book club in my regular column in the Temple's online newsletter, and I have maybe 30 people on the dedicated email list. Every now and then I ask if people wish to be removed from the list, and no one has ever followed up to be removed. I understand that not getting a response is the norm here, and it's not just me. But what to do?So I started to invite some of my friends in Toronto (my hometown) to come, and they love it! It just so happens that they are all librarians or married to librarians (something I just realized now!). I wanted to maintain the Jewish character of the book club by making sure that I talked about one or two Jewish books every time, but I have found that pretty much everyone else does too, whether or not they are Jewish, so there is Jewish content every time. I usually talk about one adult book and two or three children's books. I start us off with a poem (often, but not necessarily, Jewish) and then we take turns sharing and talking about our books. What's not to like? Depending on how many people come, we go for an hour or two. It's very small -- maybe five people, and I still have hopes of getting the (new, avid reader, YA fan) Religious School Director to join us. If a few of you would like to come, too, I could tell the Temple that their book club is drawing attention from well beyond our community. Maybe that would spark a little more interest from the people for whom the book club was intended. And honestly, I think you would like it, too!So if you are interested in coming to the book club on Sunday, please reply just to me (agoldsmith@gmail.com) and I will send you the Zoom link. If you can't make it this Sunday but are still interested, let me know and I'll put you on the email list. I send out a reminder with the attached flyer about a week before we meet, and then after the meeting I send my notes with the poem and a list of all the books that we've read. Thanks for your patience in reading this rather long post, and I hope to see a few of you on Sunday! And if any of you have advice for me on how to improve attendance, apart from showing up yourselves, I'm all ears.

Dear Sheryl,
Good luck on your new adventure.  You were very helpful to me both as AJL 
treasurer,  webmaster (did you hold other positions ?) and as an excellent  
librarian.

Hi all,

I wanted to let you know that as Jan. 14, 2022, I will no longer be at Hebrew 
Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion. I’ve decided it is time for a 
change for me and I’m trying to figure out my next adventure. After working for 
the library for pretty much all of my adult life, it is hard to leave. I have 
an amazing group of friends and colleagues at the college. 

I’m planning on staying active in AJL so you’ll keep hearing from me. I don’t 
yet know the plan for replacing me. 

All the best,

Sheryl Stahl (she, her)

The first episode, available now, features Mary Marks, author of the Quilting 
Mysteries series, in which Jewish protagonist Martha Rose and her circle of 
quilting friends seem to bump into dead bodies with alarming frequency. 
Luckily, they are able use their observational skills, intuition, and 
persistence to "help" the police catch the killers. In this wide-ranging 
conversation, host Sheryl Stahl and Mary Marks discuss Jewish practice, the 
representation of female characters, social action, and finding love in your 
70s.
In episode two, available in November, Nice Jewish Books will be joined by 
Talia Carner, whose novels tackle subjects as varied as human trafficking, 
Russia after the fall of Communism, Jerusalem at the end of the Ottoman Empire, 
and more.
Host Sheryl Stahl, library director at Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of

Subject: [ha-Safran] leaving the AJL universe...

Friends – While I’ve met very few of you in person, I nonetheless wanted to 
thank AJL as a group for the online camaraderie and support I’ve received 
through HaSafran these many years -- at least 15.  My tenure as Librarian at 
Temple Emanuel, Kensington, MD came to an end this summer -- so I need to let 
my AJL membership lapse -- and THIS has been a wonderful community.  
As so many of us do, I fell into my job unexpectedly.  No, I’m not a real 
librarian, but with a background in film archives and preservation, my 
knowledge of collections management served me well.  Much of the rest came from 
what I picked up on this listserve or what I read in the AJL News and Reviews. 
I was able to sharpen and adjust my skills to fit the needs of my small 
synagogue library collection, and soon I was even providing support to others 
on the list!  

This is a generous, forward-thinking, open-minded community of knowledgeable 
men and women, and I will truly miss the little corner of the web-o-sphere.  
Thank you for the years of standing at my back and providing me with superb 
institutional and personal support.

Stay healthy, everyone  – L’hitraot.

Please keep in mind that AJL often offers such  post conference trips. Those

Mr.  Lauer,
This is interesting. I thought that it was  common only in Israel.

not  wear a Kippah ?

May I move the timeline a bit?
When I came up in 1953 from Miami Beach to attend the 9th grade in YU’s 
Brooklyn Talmudical Academy, my late Aunt Rosalind Lauer made a knitted Kippah 
for me. It was blue with a red band running around it near the edge.
Others in that school and in other Yeshivot (including the Yeshiva of Flatbush 
where my cousins were students) were already wearing knitted Kippot.
Unfortunately, those relatives are no longer with us so I cannot ask about the 
source or inspiration for those early knitted Kippot.

The summer has not officially started and I’m already thinking of the High 
Holidays.
I’m looking for a short story for ADULTS,  that is connected with the High 
Holidays.
I will need a scan or a link to the text, because the local library’s budget is 
too limited for ordering collections of short stories.

Mazal tov to Rachel ! I can’t think of a more deserving librarian.  I was sure 
that she has received the award ages ago.  When I  first met Rachel she was 
still in Detroit, I imagined her as AJL president,  but then she concentrated 
on her family. Later she turned down the nomination to become SSC president.
I turn to her advise often and always get help.  I never miss her presentations 
at the confernces. 
Rachel, AJL is lucky to have you,

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
2021 Fanny Goldstein Merit Award Winner Announced

In advance of the 2021 Virtual Conference, the Association of Jewish Libraries 
is pleased to announce that longtime member Rachel Kamin has been named the 
2021 Fanny Goldstein Merit Award Winner. “On behalf of the Fanny Goldstein 
Merit Award committee, we are proud to have been given the opportunity to honor 
Rachel Kamin as this year’s recipient of the Award. Over the years, Rachel has 
contributed so much to the Association of Jewish Libraries, to the field of 
Judaica librarianship, and to librarianship as a profession overall. On very 
short notice and under challenging circumstances, she played a pivotal role in 
transforming AJL’s 2020 conference from an in-person to a highly successful 
virtual event. Rachel’s passionate devotion to public service is a model for us 
all, and she truly personifies the values and legacy of the Award’s namesake, 
Fanny Goldstein.” said committee chair Zachary Baker.
The Fanny Goldstein Merit Award, named for the librarian, social activist and 
founder of National Jewish Book Month, is bestowed in recognition of loyal and 
ongoing contributions to the Association Of Jewish Libraries and to the 
profession of Judaica librarianship.
Born on May 15, 1895 [some sources say 1888], Fanny Goldstein devoted her life 
to books and community. She was the first female Judaica librarian and the 
first woman to direct a branch library in Massachusetts, where she was head of 
Boston's West End Branch for many years. A prominent figure in the Boston 
Jewish community, she is best known as the founder of Jewish Book Week, which 
began when Goldstein organized a display of Jewish books at the Boston Public 
Library in 1925.
Rachel Kamin has been a synagogue librarian for over 20 years and is currently 
the Director of the Joseph and Mae Gray Cultural & Learning Center at North 
Suburban Synagogue Beth El in Highland Park, Illinois.  She serves on the 
Association of Jewish Libraries New Jewish Fiction Award Committee and 
contributes articles and book reviews to BookLinks, School Library Journal, 
Jewish Book World, Judaica Librarianship, Library Journal, and AJL Reviews.  
She contributed a chapter on recommended children’s books to The Tot Shabbat 
Handbook: A Practical Guide for Engaging Young Families in Congregational Life 
edited by Paula Feldstein (URJ Press, 2010) and co-authored a chapter about 
Jewish children’s literature for Reading and Teaching with Diverse Nonfiction 
Children’s Books: Representations and Possibilities, to be published in the 
summer of 2021 by the National Council for Teachers of English. She facilitates 
book discussions for five Chicago area synagogues as well as for other 
organizations and private groups.  Rachel holds a BA in history from Grinnell 
College and a master’s degree in library and information science from the 
University of Michigan. 
In addition, Rachel has been a member of AJL for at least 20 years and has 
attended the AJL Conference regularly. After the decision was made to not hold 
the conference live in Chicago in 2020 as planned, Rachel restructured the 
face-to-face conference that she had planned, into AJL’s first Virtual 
Conference. This year, Rachel is coordinating all the programming for the 2021 
Virtual Conference and working with the planning committee to ensure that the 
divisions get the program they desire.This year she has also been moderating 
AJL’s “Serving Students” Virtual Roundtable and facilitated the Purim book 
discussion. 

Since the spring of 2020, Rachel has delivered over 20 Zoom presentations on 
Jewish fiction for Hadassah, the Women’s League for Conservative Judaism, 
American Jewish University, and the Judaica Network of Metropolitan Chicago, as 
well as for synagogues and Jewish groups across the country. She also 
facilitates book discussions for five Chicago area synagogues as well as for 
other organizations and private groups.
 
In addition to all of the above, Rachel has been the

AJL Announces the Jewish Fiction Award winners
February 8, 2021
The Association of Jewish Libraries Announces the 2021 Winners of the Jewish 
Fiction Award
Max Gross is the winner of the Association of Jewish Libraries (AJL) Jewish 
Fiction Award for his novel The Lost Shtetl, published by HarperVia, an imprint 
of HarperCollins Publishers. The award includes a $1,000 cash prize and support 
to attend the 57th Annual Conference of the Association of Jewish Libraries,  
June 27–July 1, 2021. Two honor books were also recognized: To Be a Man: 
Stories by Nicole Krauss, published by Harper, an imprint of HarperCollins 
Publishers, and Apeirogon: A Novel by Colum McCann, published by Penguin Random 
House. The Committee reviewed over 70 works of fiction originally written in 
English with significant Jewish thematic content published in the United States 
in 2020. Thanks to all those who submitted entries for consideration. The wide 
array of books published in 2020 is a testament to the vibrant state of 
contemporary Jewish fiction.
In many ways Kreskol, the nominal Lost Shtetl, is a typical 19th century Polish 
village. It has the expected mix of competing synagogues and schools; happy and 
miserable families; and comfortable and poor inhabitants. What is surprising 
about Kreskol is that in Brigadoon style, it survived deep in the forests with 
no connection to the outside world. Set during the end of the 20th century,  
Lost Shtetl  tells the story of a town neglected by time, unaware of the 
Holocaust or the creation of the state of Israel. When the Polish government 
“finds” Kreskol, there is massive culture shock on both sides. The Jewish 
villagers must decide how much to embrace the modern world and the Polish 
government has to decide how much they want to invest in this small contentious 
village. “An impressive debut novel, The Lost Shtetl is a thoroughly enjoyable 
story, with lots of humor, but also incredibly sophisticated, clever, poignant 
and thought provoking,” noted Laura Schutzman, Chair of the Award Committee.
The ten stories in To Be a Man by Nicole Krauss deal with the struggle to 
understand what it is to be a man and what it is to be a woman, and all of the 
tensions in the relationships between parents and children, lovers and friends, 
husbands and wives. All contemporary, they span the globe from Switzerland, 
Japan, and New York City to Tel Aviv, Los Angeles, and South America. “Each is 
impactful and memorable with fully developed characters, often wrestling with 
their Jewish identity, who stay with you long after the reading experience is 
over,” commented Rachel Kamin, member of the Award Committee.   
Apeirogon, in telling the story of two fathers, an Israeli and a Palestinian 
united in grief after losing their daughters to the conflict,  weaves together 
fiction and nonfiction, crossing centuries and continents, to create a 
multifaceted and multilayered exploration of history, art, politics, love, 
loss, hope, and the power of storytelling. An apeirogon is a shape with an 
infinitely countable number of sides; Apeirogon, the novel, “evokes a mosaic 
with an infinitely countable number of pieces that have been assembled into a 
beautifully written, emotionally charged, and exceedingly relevant work of 
fiction,” remarked Paula Breger, member of the Award Committee. The intricacies 
and conflicting themes  of Aperigon are sure to elicit much debate and 
discussion.

Dear colleagues,

I hope this email finds you well.  I am co-teaching a course this semester on 
the history of the Jewish book. Of course, this course should ideally take 
place in a rare book room, with physical examples of the materials laid out 
before the students. Alas, present circumstances do not allow this, so I put 
together a website with examples of the concepts/books being discussed. It's 
openly available, and relies (where possible) on IIIF technology to allow 
page-turning within the site (so there may be a slight lag as the page loads).  
Obviously, the site was created for a specific classroom context (as reflected 
in the page divisions), but it is my hope that it will prove useful to others 
in teaching and learning beyond this one class and semester.

Marcia,
I’m volunteering with  residents at Jewish assisted living & nursing home. (not

I suggest a collection of short stories. Some elderlie’s memory is such that, 
by the time they get to the second chapter, they forget the first one. A book 
might frustrate them.
How about Apples from the desert by Savyon Liebrecht ?

I am working with a local Jewish assisted living & nursing home facility to 
develop a book club for residents (and possibly their families).
We'd like to start with a light, easy to read book with Jewish content  but one 
that will be accessible to non-Jewish residents also.

I love suggestions of books that would meet that criteria.

Subject: [ha-Safran] AJL Library Accreditation 2021

(Please post - Thanks! Shaindy)

There are many reasons to apply for or to renew AJL library accreditation. AJL 
members have found that library accreditation: 
• Encourages the librarian to review the library resources, identify the 
strengths and weaknesses of the collection, resources and programs, and plan 
for library enhancements
• Raises the profile of the library in the eyes of the organization and 
community
• Reasserts the status of the librarian as a key professional administering a 
state-of-the-art facility with much to contribute to the parent organization
Applications for accreditation or for renewal of accreditation are available on 
the AJL website and  are due February 16, 2021. 

Looking forward to receiving your applications!
Shaindy Kurzmann
Chair, AJL Accreditation Committee

Hi, everyone,

Our education program is running virtually, and I've been asked to compile a 
list of Jewish kids' books  available as e-books.

I've poked around epic - https://www.getepic.com ,   Kindle and Google Play, 
and yes, there are many titles, there, but is there something I don't know 
about?

Thanks, everyone, stay well and

Shanah tovah,

Re: [ha-Safran] Day School collection development policies

Robin,
There are sample in THE JEWISH LIBRARY HANDBOOK, edited by Joyce Levine.
It is worth it  buying a copy.  It is available through Amazon.

Subject: [ha-Safran] Day School collection development policies

Recently, I sent out a request on Hasafran for day school collection policies.  
Any policies that are sent to me will be added to the AJL website at some 
point.  Since only one school shared their policy with me, I am making a second 
request.  Sharing your policy will ultimately benefit other day schools. 

Thanks!
