Re: [ha-Safran] Bibliography of the Hebrew Book - new link?

[Michelle Margolis via Hasafran]

Yes!  They've moved it into Primo:
https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://merhav.nli.org.il/primo-explore/search?vid=MBI__;!!KGKeukY!3WCL-U33EYpCFWNmcfLSZ1wElPDWO0zKbgkKRgKY9m5n27GnDmY19r_n5K4asPgQaoYbtyuwri11PK-SItY2bYvDQxGHqw$
  (note that it's
still in beta and so has some quirks - they'll be working on fixing those
over the next few weeks).  I've confirmed that the system numbers are still
the same, if you use those.

You can also still access the previous version (for now) by adding the word
"old" in front of "uli" at the beginning of the url.

My best,
Michelle

Diego*

*Jan 11, 2024 03:00 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada) *

Presenter: Laurel Schwartz, Archivist, Jewish Historical Society of San
Diego

In 1994 Laurel, husband Stan Schwartz & Rabbi William Kramer edited a book
of articles entitled, Old Town, New Town, An Enjoyment of San Diego Jewish
History.

Five years later the Schwartzes founded the Jewish Historical Society of
San Diego Archives, at Love Library, San Diego State University in
conjunction with the Director of Jewish Studies Program, Dr. Laurence Baron
and Special Collections. Since that time as curator, Laurel has worked to
grow the archives into an indispensable resource for people researching the
history of Jews in the region as well as providing insight into many
aspects of local interest.

She was co-author of the entry on San Diego for the 2007 Encyclopedia
Judaica.  In 2005 Laurel directed the creation of a permanent historical
exhibit at Congregation Beth Israel, the oldest congregation in Southern
California, called Beth Israel in Three Centuries.  As archives curator she
provided expertise and selected materials for the 2017-2018 exhibit at the
San Diego History Center, Celebrate San Diego! The History and Heritage of
San Diego's Jewish Community. She also wrote an article, with research
assistance from Stan, entitled San Diego Jews, World War I and the Growth
of Benevolence which appeared in the Spring/Summer 2018 Issue of Western
States Jewish History.

She has spoken widely in the San Diego Community and at academic
conferences and she is the editor of the Society's newsletter, Toldot
(Generations) San Diego.

[ha-Safran] Norman E. Alexander Collections Event (November 9)

[Michelle Margolis via Hasafran]

Dear colleagues,

It's sort of strange to be sharing a "celebration" of anything right now,
but it is a small comfort to continue sharing scholarship and historical
learning around collections, even in difficult times.  With that in mind,
I'm pleased to share Columbia Library's annual "Norman E. Alexander
Celebration of Collections" next week:

Registration and additional information here:
https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://columbiauniversity.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_CUe0FTNIRaWLRI3MVOy17Q__;!!KGKeukY!11OKsU1HxLpswgc6ZfzmTAos9PMqN0p3R9cZcA7nwfibn9KXU0TBv-9s5uvqy6-v-rOLtEuoZLW31-uUsj3U$
 

This year's Norman E. Alexander Celebration of Collections centers around
the physical aspects of books and manuscripts. Rabbi Dr Jacob J. Schacter
will discuss what he learned about Rabbis Ya'akov Emden and Tsevi Hirsch
Ashekenazi through examination of their annotations in books; Abigail
Slawik will discuss some of the work involved in conserving a 700 year old
manuscript of the Bible written in Spain, and Dr Shai Zamir will discuss
what he discovered when he examined two Ladino works that seemed remarkably
similar in form.

My best,
Michelle

[ha-Safran] Hasafran guidelines

[Michelle Margolis via Hasafran]

Dear colleagues,

I know many of us are feeling fear and anger during these difficult times.
However, please also note the guidelines to Hasafran, available here:
https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://jewishlibraries.org/hasafran-listserv/__;!!KGKeukY!1-vXSMOYrTnHG0nwl8fYkiWKBnbib-vi1hPvyInL-mKMPX2r-KwmoNLd1Xo0TSoB_tFj9hcmonjcfxbzoC1K$
 

I look forward to hearing from members at town halls, today at 12:30
Eastern and next Wednesday at 6 PM. Please check the email associated with
your AJL membership for access details (and remember that the new
membership year began in October).

With all best wishes for besurot tovot (good news),
Michelle

[ha-Safran] AJL Membership: Town halls, Israel updates, etc.

[Michelle Margolis via Hasafran]

Dear colleagues,

As many of you have seen, I've sent a couple of updates to members about
what AJL is doing in this present, very difficult moment, including links
to register for town halls and specific support.  I realize that it is the
very beginning of our membership year, and so some of you may have
forgotten to renew and so have not seen these emails.  If you've had any
trouble renewing your membership, please email VP for Membership Sharon
Benamou (bena...@library.ucla.edu).

Remember: Hasafran is not the AJL Membership list - it is open to all;
membership communications will come through the email you listed when you
signed up for AJL membership.

My best,
Michelle

Re: [ha-Safran] Printed in Russia/Poland Stamps in Non-Russian and Polish Books

[Michelle Margolis via Hasafran]

I wonder how old these statutes are - the stamps on these books are no
later than the mid-20th century...and a book printed in Amsterdam in the
18th century was definitely not printed in Poland.

Re: [ha-Safran] Printed in Russia/Poland Stamps in Non-Russian and Polish Books

[Michelle Margolis via Hasafran]

Hi David,

This is a question I've wondered about for years; I've seen it on many
books (none of which are from Russia or Poland).  My suspicion was similar
to your second one - that it may have been used by the army (maybe even
prior to JCR, when they were still looking at sending books back to the
country of origin).  However, I have no proof for this hypothesis.  I'd be
very curious to hear if anyone has solid information about these stamps!

Re: [ha-Safran] ALA Not the Only Way to Reach Out

[Michelle Margolis via Hasafran]

Thank you, Jackie!  This is truly impactful work.  I would also direct
members interested in productive actions here to the email I sent on Friday
to AJL Members; if you did not receive it and your membership is up to
date, please check the email you used for your AJL membership (more emails
will be forthcoming this week).  I would be very grateful to volunteers who
can step up to help us help with information literacy during this very
difficult time.

My best,
Michelle

[ha-Safran] Thinking of our Israeli colleagues, friends, and family

[Michelle Margolis via Hasafran]

Dear colleagues,

I ended Simhat Torah in innocence - somehow the news didn't make it to the
community where I was for the holiday - and then turned on my phone to the
terrible news. So many of us have family, friends, and of course colleagues
in Israel right now (I know I'm still waiting on news from some family
members) and are hurting so much. I'm not the most eloquent writer, but I
just wanted to reach out to say that I'm thinking and praying for all of
you, and holding you in my heart.

Please be in touch if there is anything at all we can do - as an
association or individually.

May we see peace very soon.
Michelle

Re: [ha-Safran] Judaica Reference Class This Fall

[Michelle Margolis via Hasafran]

Dear Michelle,

Thanks for asking!  The reference class is nearly full, so if you are
interested, I would recommend registering as soon as possible.  The dates
of the class are Tuesdays at 12 PM EST from October 17-November 28, 2023,
and you can find more information about the class here:
https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://jewishlibraries.org/lib-certification/__;!!KGKeukY!33UOyMGiD74PPFxnKEZ9eNgZ-bw3L4PNQywQOfQ-IyPTQ8IMJb6WzpjPuR1nTHmFPXH3wVQeurrCykvAAuHz$
 

The class will be remote and entirely virtual, so you would not need to
worry about travel.

My best,
Michelle

Michelle Margolis
President, Association of Jewish Libraries

A similar thing happened with the Jewish Community Library of Baltimore,
which had been part of the Center for Jewish Education.

[ha-Safran] AJL Programming Coordination Committee Announcement

[Michelle Margolis via Hasafran]

Dear colleagues,


The Association of Jewish Libraries has expanded its programming
significantly in recent years. Given the number of people currently
creating programming, greater coordination and oversight are necessary.


I am therefore happy to announce the establishment of the AJL Programming
Coordination Committee

that
will oversee scheduling, ensure the appropriateness of the programming, and
provide all the practical support needed (Zoom link, host, etc.) while
serving as liaison to the AJL public relations chair. I am very grateful to
Konstanze Kunst for her willingness to take on the important task of
chairing this committee.


The AJL PPC created an AJL event application form
.  Please fill out this form if you
want to create a programming event or need an AJL Zoom link for a committee
meeting.  To help with their work, the AJL asks you to note the following:

   - The application to receive an AJL Zoom link for a *committee
meeting *should
   be submitted at least *two weeks* ahead of its date.
   - The application for a programming *event* should be submitted at
least *six
   weeks* ahead of the preferred date of the event.
   - All events should adhere to the AJL mission
   
 statement.
   - Presentations by AJL members may be held for a members-only audience
   OR may be open to the general public.
   - Presentations by non-members are usually held for a members-only
   audience and closed to the general public.
   - In general, events (other than the gala and conference) should not be
   scheduled during October and June; Tuesdays should be avoided throughout
   the year if possible.


If you have any questions regarding the form or the committee, please write
to its chair Konstanze (konstanze.ku...@yale.edu).


Looking forward to seeing many of you virtually next week!


Michelle

President, AJL

Re: [ha-Safran] Former AJL President Linda Lerman's death

[Michelle Margolis via Hasafran]

Thank you so much for sharing this, Jeffrey.  We are so sorry for your
loss, and for ours, as the community of Judaica Librarianship which she so
ably led, both in what is now the RAS division, and then the entire
organization.  Elliot, thank you for your additional remarks.  It sounds
like she was quite a force in Judaica Librarianship, and I'm sorry that I
never got to meet her.

In *Judaica Librarianship*, she wrote lovingly
of her mentor,
Herb Zafren, and indeed, was the one who presented him with his Lifetime
Membership Award
 in 1990. In
1991 she wrote an important piece on Collection Development
for research
libraries, and she edited a series on "Pathfinders
" to guide
reference librarians in their work assisting researchers.

Additional memories can be sent here - to Hasafran, or shared with Sally
Steiglitz (sstiegl...@lilrc.org) for a piece in the AJL News and Reviews

May her memory be a blessing.

With best wishes,
Michelle Margolis
President, Association of Jewish Libraries

[ha-Safran] ISO: Assistant webmaster for AJL!

[Michelle Margolis via Hasafran]

Dear Colleagues,

Our wonderful webmaster, Sheryl Stahl, will be moving on from her webmaster
position next summer (see below for the call, as well as the webmaster job
description from the AJL handbook).  To that end, we are looking for an AJL
member in good standing who might be willing and able to take on this
important volunteer role. Since Sheryl will still be in the position for a
year, you'll have active training (although if you know Wordpress already,
that would be a definite plus!).  Please out to Sheryl (maven...@gmail.com)
if you have any questions or to express interest.

Many thanks!
Michelle

Michelle Margolis
President, AJL

I am looking for a co-chair for the webmaster position for the next year
with the understanding that I will be phasing out of the position and the
co-chair would be phasing in and training to takeover in June 2024. I would
be happy to speak to anyone to give more details about work.

Best,
Sheryl Stahl


*Webmaster Job Description*AJL’s website is at jewishlibraries.org. It is
on a Wordpress platform with back-end support of Findjoo. This means that
any changes to “static” (i.e. regular) pages get made through the Wordpress
site. Pages which have some kind of action attached to them, such as
joining or renewing membership, signing up for an event, making a donation,
or filling out any kind of form, use the Findjoo.com site. The webmaster
assists members in both areas. On request, he or she posts blog items,
updates committee pages, updates board and council positions, creates
products and catalogs for our sale items, trains members on use of both
sites, and communicates with Findjoo when problems arise. There is also a
webmaster manual with detailed directions on doing most of the above tasks.

[ha-Safran] Rare Books Cataloguer (Research Associate) for the project ‘Early Hebrew Printed Books in Cambridge Collections’

[Michelle Margolis via Hasafran]

Dear Colleagues,

Happy to share the below position notice

https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.pet.cam.ac.uk/vacancies__;!!KGKeukY!0hayl6EPszwmNAsk8aYCn7SkZr_fEFh8pyTTEri4AdR4fpcMybEQTHUhjSqeU-Wmaus5426iQwfP1tYIWwoI$
 

Rare Books Cataloguer (Research Associate) for the project ‘Early Hebrew
Printed Books in Cambridge Collections’

The post will be available from 1st August 2023 (or as soon after as
possible) until 31 December 2024.

(This is a fixed-term, non-renewable post.)

The salary for the post is £37,386 to £39,592 per annum

The College is now seeking to appoint to the above fixed term post, the
duties of which will be primarily to produce records for inclusion on the
University Library’s catalogue/management system. Those records will
include, as a matter of course, a full bibliographical description of each
book encountered and as complete as possible a record of copy-specific
information, such as the details of binding structures and designs,
provenance information and signs of use by readers. The postholder will
undertake work in a number of Cambridge collections under the direction of
the Perne Librarian at Peterhouse, Scott Mandelbrote.

The Cambridge Colleges and the University Library hold large numbers of
printed Hebrew books and of books containing Hebrew collected from the
sixteenth century. For the purposes of this project, the intention is to
study those books collected up to the royal donation of the library of John
Moore to the University Library (1715) and a number of other significant
donations in the early eighteenth century. This will enhance our knowledge
of and access to a large number of Cambridge collections and provide a
coherent basis for further research on the material world and intellectual
culture of early modern Hebraism.

The successful candidate will have an excellent working knowledge of early
modern Hebrew; the ability to read early modern Hebrew manuscript hands;
the ability accurately to identify and describe the copy-specific
characteristics of an early modern printed book, and have a good working
knowledge of Latin. You will have a degree in a relevant discipline. The
cataloguer will be required to create high-quality online catalogue records
for printed books in the University’s and the Colleges’ special
collections: some training may be available, but relevant experience is
highly desirable.

You will enjoy 25 day’s annual holiday (plus Bank Holidays), car parking
subject to availability.  We also offer Medicash, which is a medical
cashback scheme for cashback on health-related things like, dentists,
opticians, prescriptions etc. The College offers a pension scheme, which is
USS (the Universities Superannuation Scheme) to eligible employees. Meals
are provided free of charge when on duty and when the College kitchens are
open.

For an application pack please visit

 .

 The closing date for applications is 19th June.  Interviews will take
place week commencing 26th June 2023.

Re: [ha-Safran] Books "not in BHB"

[Michelle Margolis via Hasafran]

Dear Monika,

Apologies for the long delay in responding. With *Footprints
*, we try to use a BHB number wherever
possible, but whenever it is not available, we turn to other databases,
like ISTC 
for incunabula, USTC
 (usually for non-Hebrew books), or the Union List
for Yiddish
.
My understanding is that BHB is not currently being updated as such, but I
could be mistaken there.

My best,
Michelle

Re: [ha-Safran] Kotar online titles in catalog

[Michelle Margolis via Hasafran]

Hi Anne,

We have Kotar records in our catalog (see here:
https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://clio.columbia.edu/catalog?datasource=catalog*5B-format*5D*5B*5D=FOIA*Document*5Bformat*5D*5B*5D=Online*5Blanguage_facet*5D*5B*5D=Hebrew=kotar__;JSUlJSslJSUlJSUlJQ!!KGKeukY!2X5VDN25VZvWTyBGuwnr0q0rmVB315Rj1-HFkzdM3kAb1wjRDAHRWQB8UeAAoDU63wHHQlTugmnNXvOSSTGo0VjxcqltLKmN$
 ),
but I'm not sure that we got them directly from Kotar - many of the records
have "Library of Congress record" in the 910 field...

My best,
Michelle

Re: [ha-Safran] Decorative floral covers on 17th-century Hebrew books??

[Michelle Margolis via Hasafran]

Hi Samantha,

I have found that kind of decorative paper (I think of it as wallpaper :) )
on 19th century Italian books - more often on endpapers than on bindings,
but we have some examples or bindings as well.

See for example:
https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://archive.org/details/ldpd_16612890_000__;!!KGKeukY!wd_xD9of5V8SqfEWSRDgYAMybzzUFKnBpeQiLmzhwIUgZTc7wZdCX6vggGHyvjNoagf5sECgxA2qRqwKLYxB$
  (somewhat torn, but you can
sense what was there) or this: 
https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://archive.org/details/ldpd_11542099_000__;!!KGKeukY!wd_xD9of5V8SqfEWSRDgYAMybzzUFKnBpeQiLmzhwIUgZTc7wZdCX6vggGHyvjNoagf5sECgxA2qRiBnN4Uo$
 ,
both from orfu (under Venetian influence).
https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://archive.org/details/ldpd_15344083_000__;!!KGKeukY!wd_xD9of5V8SqfEWSRDgYAMybzzUFKnBpeQiLmzhwIUgZTc7wZdCX6vggGHyvjNoagf5sECgxA2qRv6U0yhj$
  - pastedowns

Yours are much brighter and more vibrant, though, so I could be totally off
here!

My best,
Michelle

Kong, where she researched provincial assemblies in the late Qing dynasty.
Born, raised, and now based in the Chicago suburbs, Susan is working on a
biography of Bernardine Szold Fritz. She is represented by Alicia Brooks at

[ha-Safran] AJL is seeking a Student Ambassador!

[Michelle Margolis via Hasafran]

Dear Colleagues,

AJL is seeking a Student Ambassador to help new and future colleagues in
the field.  Please see the job description below, and let me know if you
think this could be you!

AJL is seeking a Student Ambassador.  This volunteer position will report
to the Member Relations Chair, and will work closely with the AJL
Scholarship Chair. The student ambassador will serve as a point person for
students interested in entering the field of Judaica Librarianship.  They
will share information regarding various student-focused initiatives
(scholarships, JL certification, AJL classroom, conference attendance) and,
when possible, will represent (or delegate someone to represent) AJL at
library schools. The incumbent may also work with scholarship recipients in
referring them to other AJL members for advice, getting involved in AJL
committees, or potential job opportunities.

This is a wonderful service opportunity for someone interested in getting
involved in Judaica Librarianship.

This is a “Reporting to Council” position and is welcomed, but not
required, at Council meetings.

My best,
Michelle

Re: [ha-Safran] Retirement

[Michelle Margolis via Hasafran]

Rachel - that's wonderful news but/and quite a loss to all of us!  Thank
you for your many years of dedicated service to both AJL and to Princeton.
Wishing you all the best, and I hope we'll still see you (maybe at some
zoom events?).

With very best wishes,
Michelle

[ha-Safran] Memories of Dr. Schmelzer

[Michelle Margolis via Hasafran]

Dear Colleagues,

We'd like to put together a tribute article in the next *News and Reviews* on
Dr. Schmelzer. I'll be collecting short reflections or memories.  If you
are interested in sharing something, please send it to me at
mc3...@columbia.edu.

Due to space constraints, I don't think we'll be able to add more than a
few lines per person, but I would be happy to collate it all and send the
unabridged version onward to the family as well, so feel free to write as
much as you'd like (but know it'll be edited for what gets published!)

My best,
Michelle

[ha-Safran] Paleography Workshop May 2023 Call for Applicants

[Michelle Margolis via Hasafran]

Call for Applications:

EARLY MODERN HEBREW PALEOGRAPHY WORKSHOP, May 22-23, 2023

Footprints: Jewish Books through Time and Place, in conjunction with the
Jewish Theological Seminary of America, invites applicants for
participation in a two-day workshop in New York City devoted to the study
of Hebrew paleography after the inception of print.

This two-day intensive workshop in New York (Monday morning May 21, 2023
through Tuesday afternoon May 22) will offer training in paleography and
the analysis of manuscript annotations in printed books. The workshop will
give preference to students and early career professionals, but senior and
mid-career scholars and librarians are also eligible.

During this workshop, participants will engage in an intensive study of
early modern and nineteenth-century Mizrahi Hebrew hands. This workshop
will be led by Dr. Noam Sienna, a specialist in early modern and modern
North African Jewish history and the history of Jewish material texts in
the Islamic world. Participants will also be introduced to the
Footprints provenance
project and trained in entering evidence of the movement of Hebrew books in
this period into the Footprints database, using new paleography skills. The
workshop will take place at JTS and will make use of materials from the
newly reopened JTS library.

This workshop is the second in a series of sessions for training in reading
handwriting in Hebrew characters from the early modern period, following a
workshop in 2020 on early modern Ashkenazic hands. Participants from that
workshop are eligible to apply but there is no requirement of having
participated previously as this is a stand-alone workshop.

There is no charge for the workshop for those accepted to the program.
Those accepted, however, must commit to full attendance for the full
duration of the two days. Participants must also commit to contributing to
the Footprints project (see below) and becoming (if they are not already)
on-going participants in the Footprints project as contributors of findings
to the database in the course of their own research. For more information
on the Footprints project, see here: 
https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://footprints.ccnmtl.columbia.edu/__;!!KGKeukY!wLwNLWmI3l0g54mZBwFhvTPGJ2IdAlTveRFLYPiftiamsOnu_uA9wlZ7rmJhE922TDBnYRfnWKm0cHKgFfyH$
 
.

Participants are responsible for their own travel and lodging, but
subsidies are available based on need as funds allow, with priority for
students and early-career professionals. Kosher meals will be provided
during the workshop. Space is limited.

To apply, please send a letter of interest including current and future
research projects, and a current CV. In your letter of interest, please
explain how the workshop will benefit your scholarship and also identify a
particular collection or library of early modern books that you intend to
study and contribute data from as a collaborator in the Footprints project.

Those requesting subsidies should also send an itemized budget for travel
and lodging, including other funds available and applied for. Graduate
students, please list the name and email for one reference. Send material
(and questions about the program) to: footpri...@columbia.edu



Deadline for applications:  Monday January 23, 2023

Support for this workshop and the training program has been provided by the
American Academy of Jewish Research, the Jewish Theological Seminary of
America, Columbia University, CUNY Graduate Center (Center for Jewish
Studies), Fordham University (Center for Judaic Studies), Northwestern
University (Crown Family Center for Jewish and Israel Studies), Princeton
University (Program in Judaic Studies), Rutgers University (Department of
Jewish Studies), University of Pennsylvania (Jewish Studies Program),
University of Pittsburgh (Jewish Studies Program), and Washington
University in St. Louis (Department of Jewish, Islamic, and Near Eastern
Studies).

We definitely looked back at that program from the '70s (which trained so
many of the experts!) when drafting the program for this round!

Re: [ha-Safran] A Job I saw at USHMM for a Cataloger

[Michelle Margolis via Hasafran]

Thanks for sharing, Michelle! I believe we have that job listed on our "Open
Judaica Librarianship Positions
"
document (which collates open RAS Judaica positions), but the link we have
indicates that it is open only to current USHMM employees.  Can someone
from the USHMM let us know if this has changed?

Thanks!

Re: [ha-Safran] Sad News

[Michelle Margolis via Hasafran]

This is indeed devastating news - I am gutted to hear it.  I remember
Arielle as incredibly vibrant and truly committed to librarianship. Elliot,
if you have information about shiva or memorial events, can you share it as
well?

Many thanks,
Michelle

[ha-Safran] Conservation of Corfu exhibit + Alexander Celebration of Collections

[Michelle Margolis via Hasafran]

Dear Colleagues,

I'm excited to announce two zoom events out of the Norman E. Alexander
Library for Jewish Studies (Columbia University) in the next few weeks:

1. Monday, November 7, 12:30 EST:
Red Inks and Gold Leaf, Parchment and Paper: Conservation of the Corfu
Manuscripts
The joint exhibition on the Jews of Corfu at both JTS and Columbia involved
a tremendous amount of behind the scenes work to ensure that the materials
currently on display could be exhibited safely and preserved for the
future. In addition to extensive work from the Libraries' conservation
team, and thanks to a generous gift from the Norman E. Alexander G
Foundation, the Libraries hired Katherine Parks, who spent months working
to conserve the materials to be displayed, especially the illuminated
ketubbot. In this talk, Katherine and staff from the Libraries'
Conservation Department will discuss the behind-the-scenes magic of
preparing the books and manuscripts for exhibition.

2. Monday, November 14, 12:30 EST:
*Norman E. Alexander Library's Celebration of Collections*

*Fleeing France, Portraying the Plague, and Cultivating Commentaries"*This
year's Celebration of Collections features manuscripts from the medieval,
early modern, and modern period, and spanning topics such as expulsion,
plague, and translation.
- Charlie Steinman, “I heard there was a return in France:” A Codicological
Approach to the Liturgical Identity of Post-Expulsion French Jewry

Re: [ha-Safran] Sale of Card Catalog Drawer Units

[Michelle Margolis via Hasafran]

Take a look at Etsy - there are lots of them for sale there (the first
result was $43.95, which seemed somewhat arbitrary).

I've seen so many uses for them - including as a wine cabinet :)

[Michelle Margolis via Hasafran]

Oh wait! That was for a *framed photograph* of a card catalog - I imagine
the actual one would sell for more then.  Try ebay?

[ha-Safran] Fwd: CPL September 14: An invitation to the Italian Embassy

[Michelle Margolis via Hasafran]

Of possible interest to Safranim in the Washington, DC area.

My best,
Michelle


RSVP by September 9!

Invitation
The Sabbadini Family in Rome, 1920 ca.
You are cordially invited to join the Embassy of Italy,
 the Centro Primo Levi, and the
United States Holocaust Memorial Museum
for a special in-person program to celebrate the donation of the

Alessandro Sabbadini Family Archive to the
David M. Rubenstein National Institute for Holocaust Documentation (USHMM).

Wednesday, September 14 at 6:30 PM
Embassy of Italy, 3000 Whitehaven St NW, Washington, DC

RSVP  is required by September 9
(Doors open at 6:00 PM. Masks are required.)
The archive contains hundreds of records documenting the experience of
Alessandro Sabbadini, a young Jewish law graduate from Rome who fled to the
United States in 1939 after racial laws were enacted. Mr. Sabbadini was
enlisted in the American army and trained at Camp Ritchie in Maryland. He
participated in the Allied landing at Anzio as part of the intelligence
unit. His sons, Roger and Steven Sabbadini, together with representatives
from the Centro Primo Levi and the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum will
discuss the content of the archive, its relevance, and the importance of
family collections.
The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum is in a race against time
to rescue and preserve the evidence of the Holocaust and make it accessible
to researchers, educators, scholars, families of survivors, and all of
those who study this history.
"Unpublished"
Drawing on interviews and written memories, Roger Sabbadini published
"Unavoidable Hope" chronicling his father's story from the racial laws to
the end of World War II. We have included excerpts in our section dedicated
to memoirs.

Ever since the launch of CPL Editions
,
we have received many more manuscripts than we could possibly publish.
Among them, an impressive number of memoirs and collections of letters. We
have now decided to create a showcase for these unpublished manuscripts,
many of which I consider uncut gems.

Memoirs and letters are among the most ancient forms of writing and hold
special importance in the work of Centro Primo Levi. They express a desire
to preserve individual and collective histories through the eyes of those
who lived them. They add a valuable personal dimension to the work of
historians and social scientists. We have began to put online excerpts of
manuscripts at various stages of development.

Some have already been published in other languages and simply need
translations. Others are final drafts that need editing and curating. A few
have been self-published by the author and are looking for wider audiences.
Each of the manuscripts selected for this section has something unique and
valuable to offer. Unpublished at Centro Primo Levi

[ha-Safran] New exhibition: Jews of Corfu

[Michelle Margolis via Hasafran]

Dear colleagues,

It is my great pleasure to announce a new joint exhibition, hosted at both
Columbia and the Jewish Theological Seminary on the storied and colorful
(literally!) history of the Jews of Corfu.

You can find more information about the exhibition here:
https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://blogs.cul.columbia.edu/jewishstudiesatcul/2022/08/16/the-jews-of-corfu-between-the-adriatic-and-the-ionian/__;!!KGKeukY!1laLRTbXd0SjfJOnkKI40W9MSTSEBMPPfSuHTsltVqlW2RX7NdHYOzpjjK5L34CKKeIHteahBsy__MpOAWM1$
  

The opening event next week is already at capacity, but if you are in the
New York area and would like to see the exhibit another time, please be in
touch! If you're not able to make it in person, there are virtual events
and a digital version of the exhibition available as well.

My best,
Michelle

Re: [ha-Safran] AJL in Sept/Oct 2022 _American Libraries_

[Michelle Margolis via Hasafran]

Thanks for sharing this here, Elliot! It was truly wonderful to see Lessa's
recognition of AJL in American Libraries.

I sent Lessa an email on Monday thanking her personally for the AJL
shout-out, but here on Hasafran I would like to also acknowledge the good
work being done by Emily Bergman, Susan Kusel, Sally Steiglitz, Kathy
Bloomfield, and so many others who are working tirelessly behind the scenes
within ALA to help promote and further connections with AJL.

Our members are excellent advocates for "the leading authority in Judaica
Librarianship!"

My best,
Michelle Margolis

*
on
*Sunday 11 Sep 2022 at 2-3:15 pm EDT  *

The *Yerusha Project* is an initiative to create an online hub of
information regarding the European Jewish archival heritage. A collaborative
effort of European, US and Israeli academic and heritage institutions,
Yerusha features over 12,000 in-depth archival descriptions held by 700
archives, libraries and museums of 27 countries. It gives researchers
access to a wealth of records covering all major subjects of European
Jewish history. The material is continuously growing, and further thousands
of descriptions will be added to the database in September.

*Dr Gabor Kadar is the Director of the Yerusha Project. He is a recurrent
visiting professor of the Jewish Studies Program at Central European

[ha-Safran] Request: Pre-modern medical diplomas or poems in your collection?

Dear Esteemed Librarians and Archivists,



Thank you all for sustaining our Jewish heritage and for your vital role in
Jewish scholarship.



I am an Emergency Medicine physician with a long-time research interest in
the history of Jewish medical training at the University of Padua in the 17
th-18th centuries. This year is the 800th anniversary of the university,
and I am working with the University of Padua and the Jewish Museum of
Padua on an exhibit this Fall on this historical chapter. I am also
producing a book which will include primarily two categories of archival
material from the period.



1) Medical Diplomas of Jewish Medical Graduates of the University of Padua-
I have thus far identified a total of 19 such diplomas.



2) Congratulatory Poems Composed for Jewish Medical Graduates of the
University of Padua- I have identified 100 such poems with over 90 extant.



I would like to include all known extant examples of the above. My research
has included the NLI, Valmadonna Trust (now part of the NLI), British
Library, Bodleian, Wellcome Institute, Vatican, University of Padua, JTS,
Kaufmann Collection in Budapest, UPenn, and Columbia University, but I
suspect I may be missing some examples.



If you possess any pre-modern Jewish medical diplomas (even if not from
Padua) or Congratulatory medical poems in your collections, or know of
others in private collections, I would be immensely appreciative if you
would be so kind as to contact me (info below).



With profound appreciation and thanks for your time and expertise,



Eddie Reichman

[ha-Safran] AJL Presents: Yerusha: European Jewish Archives Online

[Michelle Margolis via Hasafran]

Dear Colleagues,

With the conference behind us, we are looking forward to our monthly
programming.  This Thursday, at 12:30 PM Eastern, we look forward to
hearing from Gabor Kadar discussing a fantastic new resource, Yerusha:
European Jewish Archives Online.

The Yerusha Project is a digital humanities initiative by the Rothschild
Foundation Hanadiv Europe. It is an online hub of information regarding
European Jewish archival heritage. Covering over 12,000 archival
collections in 550 institutions of 28 countries, Yerusha operates as a
central, online catalogue of Jewish and Jewish-related archival holdings.
The presentation will provide a demonstration of the database’s various
features and it will touch upon the potential future development of the
resource. Gabor Kadar is the Director of the Yerusha Project, a digital
humanities initiative by the Rothschild Foundation Hanadiv Europe. He is
also a recurrent visiting professor of the Jewish Studies Program at the
Central European University (Budapest-Vienna). Former Senior Historian of
the Hungarian Jewish Archives (Budapest), Dr Kadar is the author and
co-author of six monographs and numerous studies and articles regarding
various aspects of the Holocaust and the history of Jews in Hungary. He has
lead and participated in archival research projects for the United States
Holocaust Memorial Museum and Yad Vashem. Dr Kadar is member of the Digital
Forum Advisory Board of the European Association of Jewish Studies.

The event is open to AJL members and non-members. You can register for the
event here:
