Re: [ha-Safran] Checking out books

[Annette Goldsmith via Hasafran]

Hi, Roslyn. If I haven't already created an account for the patron -- for
example, I've already done that for the students in our Hebrew School
classes, who are our primary users -- I will create the account the first
time someone checks out a book. The only computer in the library is the one
on my desk and I don't provide self-checkout. If they're in the library and
I'm there, I'll physically scan the barcode and check out the book. If they
want something and I'm not there, they fill out a manual checkout form that
is always on a clipboard on my desk and I check it out to them next time
I'm in. I also encourage people to take a picture of the cover and the
library barcode and send them to me if they want a book from a display case
down the hall; then I'll get their information by text or email, enter it,
and check out the item remotely.

I don't create library cards or even date due slips. I used to have date
due slips when I started but it was clear that no one was paying attention
to them. It's a two-week loan and I don't charge overdue fines.

One of the issues with my library is that I'm only there two or three times
a week (when Hebrew School is in session), so I try hard to bring the
library to the congregation via book tables at various programs and events.
That also means that most of my communication with library users is via
email, and my being able to access the catalog remotely ensures that they
get pretty good service even though I'm not onsite all the time. I
encourage people to use the online catalog to see what we have, but I don't
think they do.

It sounds like your library is probably a lot more active than mine, so my
solutions will likely not work for you. I have found the OPALS staff to be
very helpful and responsive, so I wouldn't hesitate to contact them with
these types of questions too -- they will be familiar with the ways in
which many of their customers are using the system.

Best,
Annette

Re: [ha-Safran] Getting Rid of 1, 500 Used Judaica Books for Adults Where?

[Annette Goldsmith via Hasafran]

 Michelle and friends,

I recently donated twenty-odd boxes of Jewish books to the National Council
of Jewish Women thrift shops. I am right in Los Angeles and they even came
and picked the books up! Here is the page that lists what they accept
. I recommend you call the nearest
location (rather than just filling out an online form) and talk to them
about donating your books. That is how I learned that they do not accept
prayer books.

Chag sameach!

Thank you, Erika, for this treasure, and Heidi, for organizing the series
and keeping us apprised. I've only spent a few minutes with the October
Jewish Book Carnival and already found many points of connection, as well
as a few titles to add to my next book order. I look forward to diving in!

Re: [ha-Safran] Looking for a resource for Yemen

[Annette Goldsmith via Hasafran]

Barbara, I found two books in my Temple collection that might be helpful:

   - *The Vanished Worlds of Jewry* by Raphael Patai (Macmillan, 1980) has
   a chapter on Yemen. More about the sweep of history than daily life, but
   there might be the odd nugget there.
   - *Exotic Jewish Communities* by Schifra Strizower (Thomas Yoseloff,
   1962). Includes some commentary by Brauer.

L'Shana Tovah!

Re: [ha-Safran] new CE opportunity on Jewish books

[Annette Goldsmith via Hasafran]

I just wanted to give a shout-out to Sally for sharing these programs with
us. I've gone to quite a few and this one in particular was excellent!

Bridget Hodder shared some of her own and co-author Fawzia
Gilani-Williams's family history. She read their new picture book, *The
Promise* (Kar-Ben, 2023), aloud. Then she talked about the importance of
standing up to organized book challenges -- not alone, but with allies --
and resisting the urge to self-censor.

Thank you, Sally!

Shabbat Shalom!
Annette

Re: [ha-Safran] Sad news

[Annette Goldsmith via Hasafran]

 Adaire was part of the wonderful AJLSC network that welcomed me so warmly
to Los Angeles about a dozen years ago. I didn't know her well but
appreciated what I did know -- her abundant knowledge, her warmth, and her
wit.

I've enjoyed reading other people's memories of and tributes to Adaire's
role in their lives. May her memory be for a blessing.

Re: [ha-Safran] In case you missed it...

[Annette Goldsmith via Hasafran]

I second Lisa's suggestion. It was a great talk, Heidi, and it would be
wonderful to have it available on the AJL site. If the local public library
doesn't want to keep virtual sessions posted for very long, maybe they
wouldn't mind if we kept it, crediting them, of course. The librarian
talked about wanting to continue collaborating with you, and this might be
a nice way to do so.

Re: [ha-Safran] publication opportunity: Children and Libraries

[Annette Goldsmith via Hasafran]

I'd like to put in a good word for *Children & Libraries* as a place to
publish, having co-edited the Research Roundup column with Betsy
Diamant-Cohen for about two years. Sharon Verbeten, the editor, is great to
work with. ALSC membership for fiscal year 2021 was 3567 and members get
the journal, so that's a lot of children's librarians who are going to see
your work. If practitioners are your target audience, *CAL* is an excellent
choice.

And of course don't forget about our own journal, *Judaica Librarianship
*, which also welcomes your
Jewish children's literature and librarianship submissions!

Shabbat Shalom!

Re: [ha-Safran] Jewish history videos for children

[Annette Goldsmith via Hasafran]

Thanks so much, Erika! I think the more cartoony vibe of BimBam is what I
need. For example, I can use How Did Judaism Get Its Name?
<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N0huH58nb0k=6s__;!!KGKeukY!wR8wGZ_TCDEU0OXOEBSK3WhAA9QXyblLNoXXjVT0w3gpZL4vSGJyFj4sfw85IOToVNq3-gIb28D94lD_UJI_4i-A1Bds$
  > (4:17) to show the
changing borders of Israel and Judah and the various conquering powers.
I've seen this type of animation showing the different empires swooping in
on videos elsewhere, but accompanied by overly-complicated narration --
it's much more child-friendly here.

The Unpacked videos I watched were too old for my group, but I'll check
again and see if there are younger ones that I've missed. If anyone on the
listserv can recommend specific Unpacked Jewish history videos that would
work for 8-12 year olds, please let me know.

I've seen the unabridged *Who Will Write Our History* and will definitely
watch the abridged version out of personal interest (thanks for the
recommendation!), but I agree that it will probably be too much for the
kids I have in mind.

Thanks again!
Annette

[ha-Safran] Jewish history videos for children

[Annette Goldsmith via Hasafran]

Dear Safranim,

The Rabbi at my Temple has asked me to come up with videos on different
periods of Jewish history for our after-school (Tuesday and Thursday)
Hebrew School students. They will have maybe an hour a month to learn about
this history. We are talking about an audience of roughly 8-12 year olds.

He mentioned these topics:

   - overview of Jewish history
   - different communities and customs
   - destruction of the Temple and exile
   - Inquisition
   - ghettos, persecution, Shoah
   - state of Israel

I found a great thread on JEDLAB and I've been looking at various videos
from recommended sites and beyond. But starting with the Jewish history
overview, so far I haven't watched anything that I want to share with the
kids. Common problems are narration that mispronounces words, a Christian
viewpoint that pops up briefly (and surprisingly!) well into the video,
content that is way too sophisticated/ironic for my target audience, a
lecturer talking with no visuals(!), etc.

Can you recommend any specific videos (freely available, if possible) that
you've used on any of these topics? Personally for some of these topics I
would be happier using books, but I understand why he wants to use videos.
Last year for 4th grade and up we used the excellent 10-minute HBO
documentary inspired by the book, *The Number on Great-Grandpa's Arm. *Marjorie
Ingall's review in Tablet led me to the film:
https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/community/articles/holocaust-movie-for-young-viewers__;!!KGKeukY!0wBN_PonzuRsFggLtBmLh3CipA6SeO1KVXMWSdQLZp85Mqvdg22qFZ0zpKyiWspJ1oqtOlwxrjYBYXOyXWjAYjhNusBg$
  .
So I expect that there is some wonderful material out there but I need some
help finding it.

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer!

Shabbat Shalom!

Kol hakavod to all the winners, and a special shout-out to Lisa and Heidi
who are absolute exemplars of their respective awards!

Amalia mentioned that she hoped that Anna and Katie, the recipients of the

for a place to publish.

Mazal tov, everyone!

[ha-Safran] Invitation to Annette's online book club May 15, 1 pm PT/4 pm ET - with guest author!

[Annette Goldsmith via Hasafran]

Dear colleagues,

I posted here a while back asking for advice about how to grow the pitiful
number of attendees for my wonderful Temple book club. One of the excellent
pieces of advice offered was to have an author as a draw. I didn't want to
do that because I was worried we would have so few people that it would not
be worth the author's time. But then I got an email from author Sharon
Hart-Green -- someone on this list told her about my book club (thank you!)
and she offered to come! So for months we have been looking forward to her
visit, and it's this Sunday. Now that you know the backstory, here's the
invite:

Sharon Hart-Green will join us from Toronto to talk about her riveting
novel, *Come Back for Me*, winner of the 2021 Firebird Award for Historical
Fiction. All are welcome whether you’ve read the book, plan to read it, or
just want to learn more. Sharon has taught Hebrew and Yiddish Literature at
the University of Toronto. She is also a translator. Read about Sharon and
her work on her website: 
https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.sharonhartgreen.com/__;!!KGKeukY!wHbxP4GqgBDiu9pAYMW1V9hydt0nU1WiFdyhsWJzoAFIpfIDq188THFfEifBtnvuTUKI0r7vMjvpiMpVCIuRdDgXCan_$
 . The session will
not be recorded; though this is a virtual book club, we are all about live
interaction.

If you’d like to attend, email me at libr...@sephardictemple.org (or
agoldsmith@gmail.com) so I can send you the Zoom link. Your friends are
welcome too – just let me know if they’d like to come. If you’ve never
joined a Zoom meeting before, I’m happy to walk you through it before we
meet.

*Please note*: The May meeting will begin at 1:00 p.m. PT/4:00 p.m. ET as
usual. Sharon will join us at 1:30/4:30 so we have time for a bit of
regular book-
sharing first. This consists of just talking about whatever we've been
reading, for any age, Jewish or not. It's really fun!

I will conclude by saying that before, I wrote to you in desperation. Now I
think the book club is on more secure footing. From my usual distribution
list I have so far had seven rsvps (including two new members who responded
to my original request on Hasafran and are now regulars!). I think five of
us will have read the book -- not a requirement but really nice for the
author. So since Hasafran had a hand in shoring up the book club I would
particularly love for you to join us, if you are free Sunday afternoon,
would maybe like to share what you've been reading, and appreciate hearing
from an author whose characters (from Holocaust-era Hungary and sixties
Toronto) will stay with you.

I'm attaching the flyer with a little more detail.

Shabbat Shalom!
Annette

Re: [ha-Safran] The Association of Jewish Libraries Announces the 2022 Fanny Goldstein Merit Award Winner

[Annette Goldsmith via Hasafran]

 Excellent choice! Kol hakavod to Lisa, and also to Rachel and the
committee! I have long admired Lisa's fine work for and dedication to
AJL. Collaborating
with Lisa is always a pleasure. She is a generous colleague and a good
friend.

I most recently got to spend time with her during the wonderful Road
Scholar Crypto-Jew-focused trip she organized to Santa Fe in October, which
I highly recommend as she is offering it again this fall. When Lisa is at
the helm, you know you're in for a great experience!

Chag sameach!

[ha-Safran] Excellent short film to introduce the Holocaust to children

[Annette Goldsmith via Hasafran]

Dear colleagues,

I was searching for something age-appropriate to use with the after-school
Hebrew School students and found a beautiful 18-minute HBO documentary
inspired by David Adler's book but with a slightly different title -- *The
Number on Great-Grandpa's Arm --* for an audience of about 10 and up. Maybe
you already know about this film, but if not, you need to. Elliott, a
10-year-old, interviews Jack, his 90-year-old great-grandfather, about his
life before, during, and after the Holocaust. The love between them is
palpable. The historical material consists of watercolor animation based on
photos that then merge into the actual photos. The effect is to soften the
images, but you see the real thing -- for example, Jews behind the barbed
wire at Auschwitz. It's direct without being graphic. Marjorie Ingall's
fine review in *Tablet *led me to the film:
https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/community/articles/holocaust-movie-for-young-viewers__;!!KGKeukY!kY7J-ZKJ8WZ4UqdJq6XtSDFmKBb9Qqi5cC757MY4PnRwY9Up5OK8dW_TMC56m6SV72ROJFdi2RLP_GY$
 .
Marjorie, if you're on Hasafran, thank you!!

You can find the film through HBO but it's also available on Youtube as
part of a 38-minute recording made by the Museum of Jewish Heritage in June
2021. Here's the link: 
https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TzneegXqx-s__;!!KGKeukY!kY7J-ZKJ8WZ4UqdJq6XtSDFmKBb9Qqi5cC757MY4PnRwY9Up5OK8dW_TMC56m6SV72ROJFdiXbgmRME$
 . It
starts with the museum staffer's brief chat with Elliott, now 15, and his
mother. Then we see the film, which starts at 1:27. Afterwards there is a
Q (about 20 minutes), also well worth watching, starting at 18:20.

We screened the film separately for two groups, grades 4/5 and grades 6/7,
in the library. We played the intro and the film (about 18 minutes all
together). Both groups watched with intense attention. Then we paused the
recording to talk about the film and answer questions. After the students
had a chance to ask their own questions, we watched about five minutes of
the Q on the video. We will meet again to watch the remaining 15 minutes
and continue our own discussion. We only had a 45-minute time slot, which
is why we just saw a bit of the Q If you wanted to build in discussion
time but also watch the whole recording, I would recommend an hour, with
the possibility of going perhaps 15 minutes longer.

Students will doubtless ask if Jack is still alive. Sadly he passed away in
December 2021 at the age of 95. But the fact that his story has been shared
in this exceptionally fine way only makes the point about the importance of
documenting survivors' stories while it is still possible. And finally, in
a form that engages and informs children, but does not outright terrify
them.

Best,
Annette

And the same from me -- Mazel tov, Susan! I finally had the chance to read
your book and I loved it! I'm looking forward to reading it to the Hebrew
School students.

[ha-Safran] help with/invitation to my Second Sunday synagogue book club

[Annette Goldsmith via Hasafran]

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.

 Wow! Michelle, this is fabulous! Thank you so much for sharing it with us.
I will show it to my information science students when we talk about
print-to-digital artifacts. Several are already interested in rare books so
this will be a real treat for them.

Thanks again!

[ha-Safran] new book in memory of June Cummins

[Annette Goldsmith via Hasafran]

I am pleased to share the news that June's friends and colleagues have just
released *All-of-a-Kind: Remembering June Cummins*, edited by Michael
Joseph,  Joseph T. Thomas, Jr. and Lissa Paul. You can find the book by
searching June’s name -- first and last -- in the Amazon search bar, or by
following this link:
https://www.amazon.com/All-Kind-Remembering-June-Cummins/dp/B08KSDRD2K/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1=june+cummins=1602538567=8-1

Here is a brief description:

Admired for her scholarship, mentorship and friendship, the collection of
essays—and a poem by Katie Strode—assembled in June’s honour demonstrates
how much she was loved, and how much she is missed. Based on a series of
memorial talks organized by Joseph at San Diego State University in the
spring on 2019 (a little more than a year after June’s death at fifty-four
from ALS in February 2018), the book also contains one of June’s lively,
astute essays on Sydney Taylor’s  All-of-a-Kind books, and an essay by
Alexandra Dunietz who worked with June on her final project, her  biography
of Sydney Taylor, *From Sarah To Sydney*, to be published by Yale UP.  With
its inspiriting cover art by Barbara Henry, the book keeps June present in
our minds and hearts.

Re: [ha-Safran] June Cummins tribute

[Annette Goldsmith via Hasafran]

Yes, it is indeed a beautiful tribute, Heidi and Etta! The author is my
mentor, Michelle Martin, and I will pass on your comments to her. I never
knew June Cummins but because of this tribute I know what she meant to
Michelle and many others. The forthcoming publication of June's last
book, *From
Sarah to Sydney: The** Woman Behind “All-of-a-Kind Family," *will be a
landmark event in Jewish children's literature.

Re: [ha-Safran] Wonderful conference

[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!

Re: [ha-Safran] Heidi Rabinowitz presents at ALA Annual

 I'm chiming in to say that this was indeed an excellent session! Heidi's
choice of foci and resources to share made for an extremely effective
presentation. Not surprisingly, she also created a first-rate handout.

So Heidi and Emily, thank you both!

Dear colleagues,

I'm writing to say that this series is really first-rate and you should
attend! I've gone to a couple and been very impressed. They're free!
They're fun! They're educational and also inspiring! What's not to love?

And of course Lisa's sessions will be excellent. I've just registered for
both. Hope to see some of you there!

loves working with children and books in a Jewish context. Does this
describe you or a colleague? Then please nominate/apply!

I was thrilled to receive this award a few years ago and I look forward to
congratulating the next winner!

[ha-Safran] Portuguese citizenship for Sephardic descendants

[Annette Goldsmith via Hasafran]

Dear colleagues,

I have been asked for help by a young woman who is trying to build a case
for citizenship in Portugal. She needs proof of a connection to the Iberian
peninsula, and Portuguese descent is even better.

Do you know of anyone who could do some paid genealogical research to prove
her ancestry and then write a report of their findings that can be
submitted as part of her application?

Here are two informational links that she shared with me:

www.embassyportugal-us.org/portuguese-sephardic-jews-descendants/


http://www.comunidade-israelita-porto.org/resources/pdfs/Portuguese_Nationality_for_Sephardic_Descendants_English.pdf

Please feel free to share this with anyone you think might be interested.

Thank you!

Re: [ha-Safran] on today's My Machberet

[Annette Goldsmith via Hasafran]

Thank you, Erika! I was moved by Sara Lippman's essay and learned a
delightfully melancholy new word there. "Vellichor," coined by John
Koenig (*The
Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows*), means "the strange wistfulness of used
bookstores, which are somehow infused with the passage of time — filled

Amalia, you're so right -- it's a great article and it brightened my day,

Thank you, Heidi, for promoting Jewish children's books with such verve.
The Intersections blog is exactly where we need to be.

[ha-Safran] Inaugural GLLI Translated YA Book Prize Shortlist

[Annette Goldsmith via Hasafran]

Please forgive cross-posting.


Dear colleagues,


The Global Literature in Libraries Initiative is a group of translators,
librarians, editors, publishers and more dedicated to helping librarians
identify and promote world literature for children, teens, and adults.
We have established an award for translated YA literature to encourage
youth to read more widely. Translations are an important part of the
diversity conversation but account for a tiny percentage of available
works. Some Batchelder titles are YA crossover and USBBY's Outstanding
International Books list includes translations, but no other U.S. award
focuses on translated books for teens.



I'm excited to announce that we have just published our shortlist:
https://glli-us.org/2019/01/15/2019-glli-translated-ya-book-prize-shortlist/




The list is a truly global one and we would be grateful if you could share
the link widely to help spread the word. The ten books on the shortlist are
from France, China, Germany, Equatorial Guinea, Japan, Bangladesh, and
Sweden, and they include fiction, nonfiction, and graphic novels.



YA is a broad age range covering many developmental needs, and the list
reflects that, with some books being well-suited to older middle-grade
readers and others being adult titles with strong teen appeal. These titles
are fresh, sometimes funny, and they invariably upend stereotypes while
telling a riveting story.


Two of them, *Defying the Nazis* (nonfiction, Germany) and* Max (*fiction
for mature readers, France) are of Jewish interest.


We'll be announcing the winner and honor books at ALA Midwinter.


If you'd like to find out more about GLLI, check us out on Facebook
https://www.facebook.com/GlobalLitinLibs/, Twitter
https://twitter.com/GlobalLitinLibs, and the Web https://glli-us.org/.



Thank you for supporting our efforts!
