[ha-Safran] New book: Kosher ADHD: Surviving and Thriving in The Torah-Observant World

[Stuart Schnee via Hasafran]

This new book will be of interest to some:


Kosher ADHD: Surviving and Thriving in The Torah-Observant World

Kosher ADHD offers a practical yet creative approach how to transform the
chaos of ADHD into a fulfilling Torah-observant lifestyle. Synthesizing
Jewish insight and sensitivities with contemporary psychological theories
and research, Drs. Chesner and Markowitz provide all who struggle with ADHD
- parents, teachers, children, adults, and therapists - with structured
guidelines to empower the ADHD individual to thrive personally, and within
the family, school, and community. It includes detailed strategies for how
someone with ADHD can overcome difficulties with prayer, Shabbat, Torah
study, and other central aspects of Judaism. This book is a revolution in
guidance for Jewish families living a Torah-based life and struggling with
the challenges of ADHD. 

About the Authors
Dr. Simcha Chesner founded and directed the Bnei Chayil Yeshivot in Israel
for adolescents with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity and associated
disorders. He published three books in Hebrew for children and adults with
ADHD and he directed clinical services for the Idud National Program for
ADHD of the Brookdale Institute and JDC.  He currently lectures and
supervises MA students in special education and psychology at Orot Teachers
College and is the Executive Director of the Israel Academy of Social and
Emotional Learning.  Dr. Chesner received his Ph.D. in clinical psychology
from Case Western Reserve University where he was awarded the David Hudson
Fellowship for excellence in scholarship and citizenship. He received his
undergraduate degree from Yeshiva University.  In 1991, Dr. Chesner made
Aliyah with his wife, Dr. Rachel Chesner.  For the past three decades, they
have lived in Israel with their children and grandchildren.

Dr. Sara Markowitz,Ph.D. has achieved an incredible amount, in large part
due to her personal "ADHD" superpowers.  In addition to obtaining a Ph.D. in
clinical psychology from Farleigh Dickinson University, Dr. Markowitz is is
the founding director of an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) for Jewish
Women at Achieve Behavioral Health, the largest behavioral health center
serving the greater Jewish community. Dr. Markowitz continues to develop
curriculum and measure clinical outcome research for ADHD parenting groups
and integration of ADHD individuals within the Jewish community.  She has
developed curricula, currently utilized in schools and families focusing on
overcoming challenges of multiple origins.
In addition to her formal professional activities, Dr. Markowitz is a mother
to five awesome children and is the Rebbetzin of Congregation Shomrei Torah
in Fairlawn, New Jersey.

[ha-Safran] New book: Ricardo's Extraordinary Journey

[Kiron, Arthur via Hasafran]

Everyone - I was delighted to receive a copy of a recently published Jewish 
children's book which I'm sure many of you will find of interest and deem 
worthy of adding to your libraries.  The book, Ricardo's Extraordinary Journey. 
A Boy's Mystical Quest for Fame, Fortune and Adventure (Sarasota, FL, 2019) is 
a fictional work, a story within a story, set in medieval Spain as recounted by 
a grandfather to his Jewish grandchildren. It is filled with exotic tales of 
travel, survival against all odds, and self-discovery. Teenage Ricardo Columbo, 
the son of a pharmacist, is entrusted with a map of the wonders of the world 
and his father's secret healing potions. He embarks on a momentous journey 
throughout the known world of 14th century Europe, Africa, the Middle East, 
Persia, India, and China.  He encounters many different peoples and places, 
including the center of the world, Jerusalem. Along the way, he meets diverse 
Jewish communities and their customs, learns the meaning of courage, respect 
for differences, and helps shape the future course of history for the better.  
Upon returning home, he makes an important discovery about his own family's 
secret identity.  The book is illustrated by students at the Ringling College 
of Arts and Design in Sarasota, Florida.

The author of numerous children's books, this is Richard Bergman's first 
venture into Jewish children's literature.  Among his publications are: 
Grandpa's Bicycle; Not as Much as I love You; Rocco the Platypus Gets Bullied; 
Rocco the Platypus Meets Herman the Bully;  Sarah Seahorse Wants a Family. The 
author is a self-described entrepreneur, business leader and non-profit 
consultant.  He is co-founder of Embracing Our Differences and his stories, 
like his volunteer work, reflect his passionate commitment to giving back to 
community.
The book may be ordered on line from Amazon 
https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.amazon.com/Ricardos-Extraordinary-Journey-Mystical-Adventure/dp/0990335224__;!!KGKeukY!29hdOsopb3gGasFLLBuObgZFKwrBtQlo43q6dOfEVXtP7um2zgBItSdSV1zfwP9NCXwPqjum--sVkLor1G4hKXx_aicbvrL44g$
  .  I have not yet seen a cataloged copy in OCLC which is part of why I 
thought to bring this title to your attention.
Be well,
Arthur

[ha-Safran] New Book on the synagogues of Greece by Elias Messinas and two articles in English about his work in Greece.

[Shirazi, Gail via Hasafran]

Architect, Dr. Elias Messinas,  has been working for years restoring synagogues 
in Greece and documenting those that were to be destroyed. He has also 
documented the stories of the towns and their people.  This is his second book 
on the topic. His first book was on the synagogues of Salonika and Veria.  This 
new publication covers the synagogues throughout Greece.  Links to articles 
about his work and a link to his new book are below.  The official Greek  
attitude to synagogues in Greece has now changed for the better. They are 
funding (in part) the restoration and re-opening of some synagogues even in 
towns where there are few Jews left.  Dr. Messinas and his wife Yvette Nahmia- 
Messinas have been passionate over the years about preserving the physical and 
historical culture and heritage of the Jews of Greece.  They are also working 
on digitizing a database of their collected materials from their years of work 
on the topic.

[ha-Safran] New book of poetry by Grzgorz Kwiatkowski and related concert tour by Trupa Trupa

[Kiron, Arthur via Hasafran]

Everyone - I was recently contacted by a prize-winning Polish poet and musician 
Grzgorz Kwiatkowski, who  has published a collection of poems translated into 
English called "Crops":   
https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.raintaxi.com/crops/__;!!KGKeukY!zp5kFPtGG1qSGmY3AtnG_auH1wtx1cbFNeD2UfgEqzKeAofPKvGGYXNTrG-ebSKH-M3WvmCo00SuUcY9K0BtaLOiLyrPYh3f0ec1$
  .  He also is a part of a post-punk rock band called "Trupa Trupa" which has 
been featured on NPR, The Guardian, Rolling Stone, and elsewhere and starting 
this week will be touring the United States.

I had not heard of him or his band before and found some interesting background 
information about the way in which he turns to art to confront evil and hatred. 
He has been called "one of the most vital poetic voices from today's Poland, 
with six volumes of acclaimed poetry and translated editions on the way." Crops 
is one of them.  Some of his work is brutally vivid but deeply felt and meant 
to awaken people to action against violence and intolerance.   His grandfather 
was a concentration camp survivor of Stutthof.Last year, he was featured on 
a webinar produced by Stanford University's Center for Russian, East European 
and Eurasian Studies (CREES):

[ha-Safran] new book on Jews of Izmir (Smyrna)

[RIFAT BALI via Hasafran]

Dear Safranim

We would like to bring to your attention the following title


Leah Bornstein-Makovetsky, *Jews in the Economic Life of Constantinople and
Smyrna in the Eighteenth and Early Nineteenth Centuries (1700-1820)*, Libra
Kitap, İstanbul, 2022, 388 p.. 978-625-8472-23-3

Price: $ 45.- plus postage.
Payment by credit card.
If interested please contact us.
Back cover text.
The book consists of ten chapters that are based mainly on new sources. The
chapters discuss the economic activities of Jews and non-Jews in
Constantinople and Smyrna during the long eighteenth century (1700-1820).
The chapters also contain information relating to Salonica. The primary
material for the volume was the Levant Company's official correspondence
exchanged between its administration and employees, political authorities
in England and the Sublime Porte. This work is based also on archival
research of Jewish sources, mainly the Responsa literature, in order to
understand the various topics under discussion. Jews frequently appear in
these studies due to their place in local and international trade and
because of the close ties between Jewish brokers and European merchants.
The ten chapters of the book are based on undisclosed documentation and
deal mainly with the Jews of Constantinople and secondarily also with the
Jews of Smyrna, with slight reference also to the Jews of Salonica. The
purpose of the research is to point out the deep involvement of the Jews in
these cities in trade and money lending, and to study the connections of
Jewish brokers, merchants, and Sarrafs in the above cities with the British
merchants in the period under discussion.


Kind regards

Re: [ha-Safran] New book from Lerner

[Heidi Rabinowitz via Hasafran]

Hi Fred,
I also have read Aftermath by Emily Barth Isler and I disagree with the
idea that it should be on the adult shelf. The kids are living through the
nightmare of school shootings, we aren't protecting them by keeping them
from reading about it. This is a book that can help them feel seen and
process grief. Can you explain what your concerns are?
Thanks, Heidi

Heidi Rabinowitz

[ha-Safran] New book from Lerner

[Fred Isaac via Hasafran]

All --

This week I received Emily Isler's *AfterMath* (CarolRhoda/Lerner) for
review. It's about a 12-year old in a town that has had a mass school
shooting.

I'm still working out what to say in the review. But in light of the
Oxford, Michigan murders, it has added impact. If you have it, you might
consider where it lives on your shelves. Maybe move it to the Adult fiction
section. The publisher says it's for 5th-8th graders. I think that's
problematic (at best).

[ha-Safran] New Book Series on Basics of Jewish Belief and Faith

[Stuart Schnee via Hasafran]

I think some here will find this of interest: 

 

 

New Book Series on Basics of Jewish Belief and Faith

Three volumes reinforce belief, increase passion and deepen commitment.

The Unbroken Chain

In this fascinating book, master-educator and author Rabbi David Sapirman
  illustrates that the Oral Torah we
have today is the original, authentic one that was given to Moshe on Mount
Sinai. This unique and essential book explains many perplexing issues, and
will undoubtedly bring considerable clarity to understanding and belief in
the Oral Torah.

The Unbroken Chain offers everyone, young or old, the opportunity to
comprehend the system of the Oral Torah and answer its related questions
with ease. Considering its subject, depth, and comprehensive explanation,
this unique work is sure to be classic.

Emunah

The Torah has been transmitted to us with extreme care and precision. The
Rambam believed in it and passed it on. The Vilna Gaon believed in it and
passed it on. Our grandparents believed in it and passed it on. While
receiving a tradition handed down from generation to generation can be
enough for us to trust and live by, substantiating faith with one's own
thinking and intellect offers huge advantages.  It provides excitement - a
passion and an enthusiasm that make the Torah alive and vibrant. It helps
tailor our Torah lives to our individual minds and souls. It helps make
Judaism real.

No magical "leap of faith" is necessary in order to believe. All we need is
clear thinking - as demonstrated in this incredible book. In this 'refresher
course' to emunah, we will rediscover why we believe, and will be able to
pray and learn with ever-increasing levels of emunah and connection to
Hashem.

Tranquility and Travail

Common sense seems to dictate that the world should be run simply and
clearly: good people should be rewarded and bad people should be punished.

However, that's just not the way things are. Naturally, we wonder why. Why
did that wonderful person go through such pain? Why do innocent children
die? And why do evil people sometimes seem to succeed?

This question is as ancient as the world itself. King
  David addressed it in chapter 73 of
Tehillim, saying that this question often knocks people off their feet and
drives them off the path of Hashem. Shlomo Hamelech writes repeatedly in
Koheles that this is one of the main reasons why people sin, since the
difference between good and bad is not apparent to them in this life. And
this was one of Moshe's main questions to Hashem.

Indeed, throughout the millennia, this gnawing question continues to
frustrate and discourage people from serving the Creator properly. However,
while we cannot fully understand G-d's ways, Tanach and the statements of
Chazal do offer glimpses into the ways of Divine providence. There are
answers to much of the mystery. This comprehensive and easy-to-read book
shares core information and key insights from Torah sources.

 

About the Author
Rabbi Dovid Sapirman is a former student of the Philadelphia, Ponevezh, and
Lakewood Yeshivot. Over the course of his career in education, he has been a
teacher, author and public speaker. He is passionate about offering chizuk
in emunah to bnei Torah of all ages and backgrounds. Rabbi Sapirman's
popular audio and video lectures have enhanced the lives of tens of
thousands of people across the globe. Rabbi Sapirman has taught and lectured
in the yeshiva and kiruv world for almost 4 decades. He has developed an
expertise in presenting the fundamentals of Jewish faith - to a wide range
of listeners. He has spoken to hundreds of educators and tens of thousands
of students in schools across the spectrum all over the world.

[ha-Safran] New Book

[Fred Isaac via Hasafran]

For those who haven't yet heard:
 Helene Wecker published "The Golem and the Jinni" several years ago.
It's a magical story, set mostly in New York around 1900.

Her sequel, "The Hidden Palace" has recently been released. I have it on my
tablet, but haven't seen it widely in stores yet. I assume it will be
available everywhere in the next few weeks.

[ha-Safran] new book for your lists

[Judith Roumani via Hasafran]

Dear Yossi,
I hope this finds you well. You usually hear from me about a new issue of
Sephardic Horizons, but this time I'd like to let you know about a book of
my own which is being published this month. It's entitled "Jews in Southern
Tuscany during the Holocaust: Ambiguous Refuge," with Lexington Books, and
you can read about it at this link:
https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://rowman.com/ISBN/9781793629791/Jews-in-Southern-Tuscany-during-the-Holocaust-Ambiguous-Refuge.It__;!!KGKeukY!kGxZswBid2VDUL72TRUlTur1CaNNImMQGarPkFPN8G4ToHM5cKwaxn9yP5vpJIeTTIc$
 
is based on research in Italian national and local archives, and interviews
with survivors. I'd very much appreciate your listing it however you
consider appropriate.
With best wishes for a continuing Chanukah sameach,
Judith

[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.

[ha-Safran] New Book from Naydus Press

[Jordan Finkin via Hasafran]

Naydus Press proudly announces its inaugural publication. A masterpiece by
one of Yiddish literature’s true virtuosi, *Childe Harold of Dysna* appears
here for the first time in a complete English translation. At once an
exuberant celebration of Yiddish language and a searing indictment of
capitalist excess, Moyshe Kulbak’s poem follows the journey of its
protagonist from small town Eastern Europe to the metropolis of Weimar
Berlin. We watch as his literary aspirations and intellectual illusions are
dashed on the rocks of a culture corroding from within. Drawing on his own
beleaguered experiences in Berlin in the early 1920s, not only does Kulbak
offer us a fresh perspective on urban life in interwar Berlin but he also
does so in one of the truly great pyrotechnic displays in Yiddish poetry.
Robert Adler Peckerar’s stunning translation has managed the great feat of
conveying simultaneously Kulbak’s verbal brilliance and his searing
critique. This beautiful volume includes an insightful introduction by
Boris Dralyuk, the executive editor of the Los Angeles Review of Book, as
well as stunning illustrations by Beynish.

Hi and hope everyone is staying well!
 
If you or your library users are looking for some light reading material during these stressful times, Matzah Mia! - my new full-length Jewish Regency Mystery – has just been published in e-book and
 paperback editions.
 


 
When a sack full of counterfeit gold coins is found in a matzah bakery, the most likely suspect is the Jewish baker who owns it—and if Mr. Ezra Melamed can’t prove his innocence the baker will
 hang. But to his dismay, every clue he turns up leads in an equally distressing direction. Because if the baker didn’t do it, it seems there is only one other person who could have counterfeited the coins—the baker’s opera-loving son.
Matzah Mia! is the fifth book in Libi Astaire's historical mystery series that takes a humorous look at Jewish Regency England.
 
Matzah Mia! Is currently available only at Amazon:

Thanks and be well,

[ha-Safran] New Book

[Jacqueline Benefraim via Hasafran]

Shalom,

Here is another Tuesday posting for a new book. Please contact Byron
directly at bryan...@gmail.com if you are interested in this title.

Dear readers,
The new book, “The Girl in the Haystack,” tells the true-life story of an
Atlantic City woman who, as a young Jewish girl in western Ukraine during
World War II, survived a pogrom, the Tuchin ghetto, and nearly two years in
hiding, in haystacks. Key to her survival were a Ukrainian farmer, since
recognized by Yad Vashem, and his dog.
While the book isn’t a children’s book, per se, it reaches middle readers.
Described as “moving and original,” “riveting,” and “historically accurate”
by, respectively, Omer Bartov, Michael Berenbaum, and Modecai Paldiel, the
book is available widely and distributed by:
https://itascabooks.com/the-girl-in-the-haystack/

[ha-Safran] New Book Of Poems About Jewish Spain

[Henry Rasof via Hasafran]

My new book, Souls in the Garden: Poems About Jewish Spain, is now in print 
after almost twenty years of traveling, researching, and writing. The poems 
were inspired by my two trips to Spain, in search of voices and traces of 
medieval and modern Jewish Spain. The voices encountered include those of poets 
(e.g., Yehuda Halevi and Qasmuna), philosophers (e.g., Maimonides), mystics 
(e.g., Moses de Leon), religious figures (e.g., St Teresa of Avila), royalty 
(e.g., Queen Isabella), and intriguing personalities (e.g., The Jewess Who Was 
Pushed from a Cliff)—men and women, mostly Jewish but also Christian and 
Muslim. Aside from the author of Souls, all of these people obviously are dead, 
but though dead, their souls are still expressing themselves, to us, to one 
another, to friends and enemies, to God, in anger, sorrow, nostalgia, cynicism, 
bitterness, wistfulness, and more—the gamut of human emotions. These are the 
souls in the garden, an image taken from the wonderful Zohar: The Book of 
Splendor, the most important book of Jewish mysticism.
Although the period and setting are mostly medieval Spain, unfortunately the 
themes of persecution, lament, xenophobia, and expulsion are as relevant today 
as they were in the past. Additionally, the traumas of the period have been 
passed down over the years to the descendants of Spanish and Portuguese Jews, 
many of whom are living in the American Southwest.
The specs, pre-reviews, a .pdf, and ordering information can be found on the 
following page of my web site: 
http://henryrasof.com/1277-2/books/souls-in-the-garden/

Thank you!
Shalom and best wishes

[ha-Safran] New book by Neil Frau-Cortes

[Yelena Luckert via Hasafran]

Dear all,

Just wanted to let you know about publication of a new book by our
colleague, Neil Frau-Cortes, Frau-Cortes, Neil M. *Rabí Simó ben Tsémakh
Duran : Florirá frondosa la branca. *Palma : Ajuntament de Palma, 2018.  It
is a biography of R. Simeon ben Zemah Duran (1361-1444), including a
genealogical study and a short anthology of his works (some poetry, as well
as legal, and philosophical texts).  Not sure where to get it if  you are
interested, Neil donated his own copy to my library so I got lucky and did
not need to look for it.  If you run into troubles of finding it, you can
try to reach out to him, nf...@umd.edu.

[ha-Safran] new book for children, RIDE HIGH WITH THE WAVE, by Sharon Solomon

[Amy Turim]

(I am happy to post this announcement of a new title by my friend, Sharon
Solomon

Amy Turim,

Librarian, Temple Emanuel

Kensington, MD



What do kids do these days when their sports events conflict with family
cultural and religious activities? Eleven-year-old backstroke rivals Ted
Richman and Hiro Kojima find themselves facing this problem in my book *Ride
High with the Wave.  *

On Saturdays Hiro goes to Japanese School and Ted attends Sabbath services
with his family. The two boys join forces to get the swim meets changed to
Sundays. With advice from their grandparents in the form of Yiddish and
Japanese proverbs, Hiro and Ted form strategies to make this change happen.
Will they succeed? Will they resolve their rivalry?

*Ride High With the Wave *is a middle grade novel for ages 8-12. It deals
with a real-life situation children and families face today. The reader
will experience Japanese and Jewish holidays and traditions and swim meets
as Hiro and Ted continue their efforts. This book focuses on competition
and the clash of priorities in our society. This realistic fiction novel is
both multicultural and multigenerational and takes place in Pittsburgh.



I am the author of eight published children’s books as listed on my website
www.sharonsbooks.net. I was born in Pittsburgh and grew up in McKeesport. *Ride
High With The Wave *would be a great addition to the children’s collection
of your library.



Sincerely,

Sharon K. Solomon

ספר חדש:

רועה עדרו
מנהיגות וניהול בתקופת המשנה ובראשית ימי התלמוד
מאת
יהושע וייסטוך
456 עמודים, מסת"ב 978-965-09-0344-2 , ירושלים 2018, כריכה קשה
 
כיצד הצליחו חכמי המשנה והתלמוד להנהיג את עמם ביד רמה, ועם זאת בגובה העיניים? האם עשו הם שימוש ברשתות חברתיות תקפות לזמנם? באיזה אופן התמודדו עם התנגדויות? ואילו מודלים ניהוליים עכשוויים מאירים את הנהגת החכמים דאז?
הספר רועה עדרו בוחן את נושא המנהיגות והניהול של חכמי המשנה והנשיאים, תוך שהוא עוסק בחקר תולדות החברה היהודית בארץ ישראל בימי המשנה ובראשית ימי התלמוד. הספר, המבוסס על מחקר מעמיק, משלב היבטים היסטוריים, ארכיאולוגיים וסוציולוגיים עם כלי מחקר חדשניים מתחומי מדעי הניהול. 
עיקר המקורות ששימשו למחקר הנם פרקים מספרות חז"ל, שאינם היסטוריים ואינם מספקים תשובות הולמות לשאלות על המנהיגות ועל הניהול שאפיינו את פעילותם של הנשיאים ושל החכמים. על כן נבחנו המקורות באמצעות כלים מדעיים שאפשרו זיהוי האישים אשר שימשו כמנהיגים וכמנהלים, כמו גם את התפקידים הציבוריים שסייעו בידיהם לממש את חזונם ואת פועלם בחברה ובקשריה החיצוניים. 
לראשונה נפרסת לעיני הקורא תמונה רחבה של היבטי המנהיגות, הניהול והמנהל בעידן הנחקר, המבוססת על תובנות היסטוריות חדשות. תובנות אלה מאפשרות להסביר מרכיבים במאורעות התקופה, שעד כה קשה היה לפרש אותם, את מניעיהם ואת התוצאות שאליהן הובילו, ולהבינם. כן ניתן להשיג באופן מעמיק יותר את הפעילויות האנושיות, בעיקר את אלה של מנהיגות החברה היהודית בארץ ישראל. בכך מועשר המחקר ההיסטורי בכיוונים חדשים שטרם נדונו כראוי. דומה כי הספר עשוי לתרום להבנת אותם היבטים בקרב חברות נוספותבאגן הים התיכון. 
חוקרים וסטודנטים במדעי היהדות ובמדעי הכלכלה והניהול, מנהלים בחברות מסחריות וציבוריות, מנהיגים חברתיים ופוליטיים, וכל אדם המעוניין בהרחבת השכלתו ואופקיו, ימצאו בספר עניין רב.
***
המחבר, ד"ר יהושע וייסטוך, הנו בעל תואר דוקטור לפילוסופיה מטעם אוניברסיטת בר-אילן, המחלקה לתולדות ישראל ויהדות זמננו, ועוסק בחקר מנהיגות וניהול בעת העתיקה. בחייו המקצועיים משמש המחבר כסמנכ"ל כספים בקבוצת חברות במשק הישראלי.

[ha-Safran] New Book: The Jews of Khazaria, Third Edition

[Kevin Brook]

THE JEWS OF KHAZARIA, Third Edition (2018)
Kevin Alan Brook

The new edition incorporates the latest research into the multicultural
Khazar civilization in eastern Ukraine and southern Russia from the 7th
through 10th centuries.

Under the influence of Jewish refugees from the south, some Khazars
converted to Judaism in the 9th century. As presented in the updated
chapter 6, the newest evidence that Judaism existed in Khazaria is a
menorah etching on a pot from Mariupol.

Also new are chapter 10's substantially revised discussions of documentary
and scientific evidence related to Eastern European Jewish origins and
migrations. Conversations on competing ideas about them took place in
ha-Safran in November 2013. In the 3rd edition, the hypothesis that
Ashkenazic Jews descend at all from the Khazars is definitively put to
rest by contrasting Ashkenazic DNA with the DNA of medieval Khazars,
Hungarians, and Avars and modern Turkic and non-Turkic peoples from
relevant regions.

The book confirms the strong connection of Ashkenazim to the ancient
Israelites using the newest Y-DNA, mtDNA, and autosomal DNA analyses.
There are also surprisingly recent genetic ties in both directions between
Ashkenazic Jews and Sephardic Jews, between Ashkenazic Jews and Mizrahi
Jews, and between Ashkenazic Jews and Polish Catholics (further confirmed,
as the book went to press, by the discovery of the Ashkenazic mtDNA
haplogroup J1c7a in the Kowalewko cemetery in Iron Age Poland), and at
least one lineage in Ashkenazic Jews that comes from Chinese people.

Several more Turkic words in Yiddish that were identified by Alexander
Beider in his 2015 book "The Origins of Yiddish Dialects" are summarized
in chapter 10, but neither those nor the previously-found words are
specifically Khazarian, and they were adopted by Yiddish speakers from
non-Turkic languages like Polish or Ukrainian rather than directly from
Turkic speakers or ancestors. The Jews in Kievan Rus and the Lithuanian
Grand Duchy who became fluent in Slavic languages were not Khazars and it
turns out that at least some of them were Ashkenazic Jews who became
Slavicized.

Michael Chabon and Emily Barton used my book to construct their novels
about the Jewish Khazars, "Gentlemen of the Road" and "The Book of Esther"
respectively. Neal Wyatt's article "Take the RA Talk Online" in the
February 2008 issue of Library Journal cited my book as an appropriate
nonfiction companion to Chabon's novel.

[ha-Safran] New book on Julius Theodor and the study of Midrash Aggadah

[Kiron, Arthur]

  Dear Safranim,

  Please note the new Hebrew publication by Prof. Tamar Kadari about Julius 
Theodor (1849-1923), one of the leading experts of the aggadic literature, 
entitled Minhah Li-Yehudah: Julius Theodor and the Redaction of the Aggadic 
Midrashim of the Land of Israel.  It includes an annotated and updated 
translation of Julius Theodor's "Zur Composition der agadischen Homilien" by 
Hanan Birenzweig.  The book is a joint publication of The Midrash Project of 
the Schechter Institute of Jewish Studies and the Leo Baeck Institute, 
Jerusalem (Jerusalem 2017) and my be purchased through the JTS Press bookstore 
website (Schocken, Jerusalem).
http://www.schocken-jts.org.il/english/bookstore/prodview.asp?idproduct=405

  Prof. Kadari writes:

  Julius Theodor (1849-1923) is one of the leading experts of the aggadic 
literature. His major work, a scientific edition of Bereshit Rabbah (completed 
by Chanoch Albeck), is a foundation of Jewish studies research. His important 
articles deal with key topics still relevant to Midrashic research even today. 
Theodors' diverse research activity did not take place within the walls of 
academia. He wrote the majority of his scholarly studies in his home in the 
small town of Bojanowo, located in the Prussian province of Posen, where he 
served as rabbi for thirty-one years. From his home, he corresponded closely 
with various researchers but left no disciples to perpetuate his legacy and 
work after his death. These facts may explain why so little was known about 
Julius Theodor before I began writing this book. Aside from an article by Akiva 
Posner, a short entry in the Jewish Encyclopedia and in Encyclopaedia Judaica, 
in addition to some concise biographical information that appears in lists of 
the rabbis of the German Reich, virtually nothing has been written about this 
leading, significant scholar. The absence of information about his life is also 
connected to the bitter fate of his small family which suffered great hardships 
during the era between the two world wars. As far as I was able to verify, 
probably no direct descendants of Julius Theodor are alive today, so that all 
the knowledge pertaining to this great scholar has nearly been erased. Even 
Theodor's photograph seemed to have disappeared from the pages of history; it 
did not appear among the photographs of the students of the Breslau Rabbinical 
Seminary, nor in the few entries and information regarding his town Bojanowo. 
Only with great effort was I able to obtain it. The information in this chapter 
was collected and pieced together from small, scattered pieces of information 
gathered with the gracious assistance of scholars worldwide, through searches 
in archives, letters that survived, journals and information from the web. May 
this book be a memorial to this great scholar, his family and the small Jewish 
community of Bojanowo.

Tamar Kadari is a senior lecturer at the Schechter Institute of Jewish Studies, 
where she serves as the head of the Midrash and Aggadah program. She received 
her PhD in Midrashic literature from Hebrew University and was a fellow at the 
Herbert D. Katz Center for Advanced Judaic Studies at the University of 
Pennsylvania. In 2009 Dr. Kadari received a grant from the Israeli Science 
Foundation (ISF) to head a research group preparing a critical edition of  Song 
of Songs Rabbah. Her research interests include biblical women in the eyes of 
the rabbis, esthetics and beauty in rabbinic literature and literary readings 
of midrash.  Dr. Kadari is a sculptor whose work has been exhibited in 
galleries in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv.

  Thanks,

  Arthur

[ha-Safran] New book commemorates 50th anniv. of Six Day War

[Stuart Schnee]

 

 

 

A Diary Helps Commemorate

50th Anniversary of Six Day War

 

The dramatic, day-by-day journal of an American family

in Israel during the Six Day War.

 

A Riveting Firsthand Account 

 

In advance of the upcoming 50th anniversary of the Six Day War, Feldheim
Publishers is proud to reissue Rabbi Emanuel Feldman's bestselling firsthand
account of life on the Israeli home front before and during the war.

 

Rabbi Feldman was on a sabbatical in Israel with his family in the time
before and during the Six Day War. His decision to keep a daily account of
the tense weeks before the war and during the war itself led to a dramatic,
day-by-day journal telling the story of an American family and an entire
nation who lived through the frantic and historical days of June 1967.

This is an honest and candid portrayal, without frills or embellishments
allowing readers to relive it as it was: the fear, agony, and despair, as
well as the joy, triumph, and laughter. And you will meet the Israelis as
they were, not romanticized or idealized, but as flesh-and-blood people -
the heretics and the pious, the sinners and the saints, the cowards and the
brave. 

This engaging volume will enable readers to live this exciting moment in
Jewish history which took Israel from the brink of disaster to that moment
of miraculous triumph which stunned the world on the 28th of Iyar, 1967.

[ha-Safran] New Book By Prof. Lev. Hakak: Reading Modern Hebrew Poetry and Prose

[Hasafran]

*Reading modern Hebrew poetry and prose*


>From the author: "This is a collection of articles surrounding Modern
Hebrew Literature. It includes articles about the prose fiction of S.Y.
Agnon, who is Modern Hebrew Literature’s only Nobel Laureate, as well as a
piece discussing the work of the internationally acclaimed Hebrew writer
A.B. Yehoshua. Most of the articles were published in various academic
periodicals. Lev Hakak guides us with passion and depth on a rich and
exciting journey into worlds created by prominent Hebrew authors. These
worlds depict Jewish life in Europe, Near Eastern countries and Israel. It
begins in medieval times in Spain and ends in contemporary Israel. We meet
a medieval Hebrew poet whose love for Israel was the leading spark in his
life, and a Rabbi who strove to touch the souls of his readers through
sharing folktales. We meet a man and a woman undergoing a marriage crisis,
a young man who gives up love because of the dominating older generation, a
criminal who turns to faith on his way to execution, and more. The book
also provides a little glimpse into Israeli movies and is also a literary
voyage into the wounded souls of Holocaust survivors and others who
converged to form the new nation-state on ancient soil."

[ha-Safran] New book by an Israeli American Author Lev Hakak Song of the Whitewasher

[Hasafran]

Subject: New book by an Israeli American Author Lev Hakak Song of the
Whitewasher


Song of the whitewasher by Lev HAKAK

This collection includes chapters based on the Hebrew Bible, Rabbinic
literature, Jewish proverbs, Modern Hebrew literature and Jewish prayer.

The front of the book is scanned many times on Amazon and Ebay.

On the cover:

This eloquent collection of short stories and Jewish proverbs, folktales
and essays reminds readers that a single life is fleeting and small, and
yet each individual is connected to something larger and more constant than
themselves. With simplicity and clarity, these stories — many of them
centuries old — manage to bridge the distance between past and present,
between individual virtues and the strength of a community. Like any good
book, Hakak’s does not provide answers. Instead, it asks the right
questions — the same questions our ancestors asked themselves, and the ones
our children’s children will ask themselves, too. (Alizah Salario)

[ha-Safran] New book -- Sephardic Women's Voices by Nina Lichtenstein

[Gaon Books]

Sephardic Women’s Voices: Out of North Africa by Nina B. Lichtenstein has just 
been published by Gaon Books. Sephardic Women’s Voices traces the lives and 
writings of contemporary Sephardic women from North Africa and their migration 
to France with the meaning of their Sephardic heritage, their roles as women, 
and their experience of exile. ISBN: 9781935604884. Available from Ingram, Gaon 
Books, Amazon and others.

“Nina Lichtenstein’s book should be required reading in all Modern Jewish 
History courses because it fills the gap created by our almost exclusive 
emphasis on Ashkenazi history...A masterpiece!”  
—  Shulamit Reinharz, Jacob Potofsky Professor of Sociology and 
Founder/Director Hadassah-Brandeis Institute and the Women’s Studies Research 
Center, Brandeis University. Author of One Hundred Years of Kibbutz Life and 
twelve other books.

"This is a groundbreaking work which brings to the attention of the 
English-reading public the important creative work of Jewish women authors of 
North African origin in France since decolonization. Nina Lichtenstein 
masterfully provides valuable historical background and cultural 
contextualization together with insightful literary analysis. Her engaging and 
often lyric style is at once both intimately conversational and academically 
intellectual."  — Norman A. Stillman, Schusterman-Josey Professor of Judaic 
History Emeritus, University of Oklahoma. Author of The Jews of Arab Lands and 
Jews in Arab Lands in Modern Times.

 As I grow my abilities to keep up with email, facebook, instagram, twitter 
and the myriad of other ways to stay connected, Help me remember it is through 
the heart that all true bonds form. Oh, Great Creator, as we manifest new 
realities with our fingertips and computer screens, guide me to do it with love 
and remember to unplug occasionally. Grant serenity to those who do not hear 
back from me within a day or two.  Bless all with love,  light and discernment 
to hit delete when necessary. Amen

 Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved

[ha-Safran] new book for your library

[Zelda Newman]

I would like to call to your attention the dual-language (Yiddish-English)
book of poetry of the Yiddish poet (Holocaust survivor living in Israel),
Rivka Basman Ben-Haim. My English-language translations are on the facing
pages of the original poems, and the book has prints done by the author's
late husband, the artist, Mula Ben-Haim.

The book, which was put out in the beginning of September,  and is already
in its second printing, can be bought directly from Mayapple Press, or
ordered on Amazon. Here is the web-page for this book:

[ha-Safran] New Book "Benghazi - Bergen-Belsen" by Yossi Sucary

[Hasafran]

Hello,

My name is Yossi Sucary, and I am an Israeli writer. Recently I published a
novel that takes place in Libya during the Second World War and describes
the lost story of the Holocaust of North African Jews. This book received
many literary prizes in Israel, including the Prime Minister Prize for
Hebrew Literature, Brenner Prize and the Washington-Israel Institute prize.
The book brought the Holocaust of North African Jews into center of
attention in Israel, since no one realized that the Germans were sending
Jews to camps form Africa.

The book was recently translated into English and is available  on Amazon
at
https://www.amazon.com/Benghazi-Bergen-Belsen-Yossi-Sucary/dp/1533529817/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8=1468533486=8-1=sucary+yossi
 .


You can find more information about the story in a recent article that was
published in the London Jewish Chronicle magazin at
http://www.thejc.com/lifestyle/lifestyle-features/160108/the-unspoken-holocaust
.


I believe that any book club can find a great interest in this book which
tells the hidden piece of history of the holocaust of the North African
Jews.

I would appreciate your comment and I look forward to hear from you.

All the best,

Yossi Sucary

It is suitable for those studying Daf Yomi or who enjoy Talmudic analysis.
A must have for Judaica and Hebraica Libraries.

Can be shipped anywhere.

Thank you.

[ha-Safran] New book: Mikra u-Massora; By Elisha Ben-Ezra, 4 volumes

[Oren Mass]

NEW

The Grammatical Rules of Accentuation in Biblical Manuscripts

In series: Mikra u-Massora - 4 volumes, by Elisha Ben-Ezra

Distribution: Rubin Mass Ltd., Price: $150+ delivery

כללי דקדוק ההטעמה בכתבי המקרא, מתוך "מקרא ומסורה" - 4 כרכים, מאת אלישע בן-עזרא

הפצה: הוצאת ראובן מס

A set of four volumes in the field of traditional biblical cantillation. These 
volumes present biblical cantillation in a new and enlightening format that 
facilitates the reader’s understanding of its purpose.

General Description

Extant biblical manuscripts until the eighth century were written in scrolls 
using only consonantal writing, without vocalization, punctuation, or signs for 
cantillation. In the eighth century, biblical manuscripts began to appear in 
book format with both punctuation marks and cantillation marks. With the advent 
of punctuation and cantillation, the editor writing only with consonants could 
enable the reader to comprehend without hesitation and mistakes.

The necessity of diacritics for an accurate reading is clear to all, but very 
are aware of the role of biblical cantillation. The prevailing view is that the 
cantillation marks serve merely as musical notation. This system was well known 
from the period of Moses Ben-Amram until the period of the Great Assembly, as 
indicated by the ability of the Sages of Great Assembly to write books in the 
format of biblical writing with all that entails. Yet, from the time of the 
Great Assembly until close to our era, almost three thousand years, the system 
of cantillation was virtually obscure and inaccessible.

The purpose of this work is to establish the syntactical, punctuational and 
exegetical roles of biblical cantillation marks.

Brief Description of Volumes

Volume I:

"The Grammatical Rules of Accentuation in Biblical Manuscripts" (946 pp). This 
volume deals with the syntactical role of cantillation marks – how these signs 
divide the verse syntactically into its primary and ancillary functions, up to 
four degrees of division. This division has ancient syntactical and exegetical 
significance going as far back as the era of Moses.

This volume along with the three accompanying volumes aim to make accessible to 
the public the findings of the researchers, so that everyone can immediately 
and effortlessly discern the syntactical division of each verse,  and thus to 
experience what it was like to sit in the academy of Moses and his disciples.

To this end, we have republished many of the biblical texts with marks and 
indices that will allow the reader to discern the defined clauses based on the 
punctuation provided by the cantillation marks. In Volumes II, III and IV, we 
have applied the rules described in Volume I to create a graphic presentation 
of the text that makes the syntax clear to the reader, as follows:

Volume II:

"The Pentateuch" (with marked clauses) (400 pp)

Volume III:

"Haftarot for all Sabbaths and Festivals, and the Five Megillot (Five Scrolls)" 
(with marked clauses) (200 pp)

Volume IV:

"Psalms" (with marked clauses) (120 pp)

Orders to:

Cat# 147495; Price for 4 volumes $150. Delivery: Air $70; Surface $35. Payment

[ha-Safran] New book on Janusz Korczak.

[Hasafran]

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

(New York, NY, December 31, 2015) - Hailed by Pope John Paul II and
strongly

influential in the United Nations adoption of the Universal Declaration of
Human

Rights and the Rights of the Child, this doctor/educator/author’s brilliant
life, tragic

ending in the Holocaust and the enduring legacy of his ideas are vividly
presented in

Janusz Korczak: Sculptor of Children’s Souls (Child Development Research &

The Wordsmithy, LLC: $18.95, 234 pp., May, 2015, ISBN: 978-1-935110-19-4).

Although a bachelor with no children of his own, Korczak was a father to
thousands

of children via his stewardship of both a unique Jewish orphanage (Dom
Sierot) and

simultaneously a Catholic one (Nasz Dom) in early 20th Century Poland.
Although

he, his staff and his children were marched to their eventual death at
Treblinka, the

journey of his humanistic ideas has continued to march onwards.

An educator for over 40 years in the United States and Israel, Marcia
Talmage

Schneider has not only written a biography of Korczak (already the subject
of many

works and an award-winning film), but has also uniquely traced his legacy
through

first-hand interviews with 10 graduates of his Dom Sierot orphanage. His
“children”,

who range from photographers and artists to psychologists and educators,
illustrate

the lasting effects of Korczak’s philosophy and personality decades later.

What was it that made Korczak’s ideas so revolutionary? Talmage Schneider
notes:

“Heading the orphanage from 1912 to his end in 1942, Korczak’s methods

emphasized each child’s right to respect by creating a democracy of
children, for

children and by children.” Unlike similar institutions of the time, his was
self-
governed by a Court of Justice comprised of Korczak, his staff (including
the janitor!),

and the children themselves; rules of responsibilities for oneself and
others; a

newspaper written by the children, plus other humane ideas emanating from
his own

magical personality, partially forged by his experiences in two wars that
showed him

the effects of violence on children.

In his classic book “To Love A Child” (1919), Korczak wrote of children:
“Give them

the conditions for better development so that they can grow up to be adults
who will

bring a better future to the world.” This is why Pope John Paul II cited
him as “a

symbol of true religion and true morality” and why Poland declared 2012 The
Year of

Janus Korczak, marking the 70th Anniversary of his death and the 100th
Anniversary

of the founding of Dom Sierot. In a current movement to get Korczak’s ideas
better

known in Canada and to improve its welfare system, Irwin Elman, Ontario’s

Provincial Advocate for Children and Youth, recently stated on CBC Radio’s
“The

Current” that “It’s possible...you can create the conditions and legislate
the

conditions where love can flourish.”



As an innovative pediatrician, educator, radio personality and author (one
of whose

magical children’s books – Kaytek, the Wizard - anticipated the Harry
Potter series),

Korczak led the way with his loving and visionary methods. “Perhaps,” says

Talmage Schneider, “his methods would greatly benefit the world today.”

[ha-Safran] New Book on early 20th century Lithuanian Jewry

[Juan-Paul Burke]

Sarid, A. 2015. There was once a home...: memories of the Lithuanian shtetls 
published in the Afrikaner Idishe Tsaytung-African Jewish Newspaper, 1952-54. 
Translated by Veronica Belling. Cape Town: Jewish Publications - South Africa, 
Isaac  Jessie Kaplan Centre for Jewish Studies  Research.



*



This collection of stories and anecdotes of life in early 20th century 
Lithuanian shtetls, sourced from the Johannesburg Yiddish newspaper, Afrikaner 
Idishe Tsaytung and brought to light for an English speaking audience, is a 
poignant reminder for today's South African Jewry of their Lithuanian 
ancestors. It is also a monument to the sacred memory of those who perished at 
the claws of the Nazi animal and so is a form of Yizkor Buch.



Most of the articles are authored by Mr. A. Sarid but there are also articles 
by a variety of others. The articles were presented as two series between 1952 
and 1954.



Religious and secular life in the shtetl is revealed and described via articles 
long and short. There are also a number of photographs where many may recognise 
names or even faces of once Lithuanian families that have now become South 
African.



The 25 shtetls discussed include Shidlova, Rakishok, Oran, Poshelat, Ponevezh, 
Kupishok and Birzh, amongst others.



In an article on Shidlova there is a depiction of a wedding that is inspiring 
and heart-warming, what a wonderful experience it must have been! Some 
old-worldly ways seem to have been lost in our modern times yet some things 
remain the same.



Rakishok is given an enchanting description and was reputedly the only 100% 
Chasidic shtetl of the predominantly Mitnagdic Lithuania. This is one for the 
Chabadniks and Rakishokers to enjoy.



A tale I would highlight is the moral of, Mote, the Grobe head, found in the 
entry for the shtetl of Oran.



A particularly exciting find for me was the extraordinary description of an 
individual, Reb Motel Pogrimanskis zl, who was a legend at the Yeshivah I 
attended. A Rabbi  Gaon of whom stories heard in Yeshivah are here 
corroborated besides those that have been passed down from Telz to Cleveland to 
Johannesburg. This is one for the Yeshivaniks and Telzers to enjoy.



This is truly a praiseworthy achievement of Dr Veronica Belling and her 
supporters to have ably brought these articles to light.

[ha-Safran] New Book

[Jeffrey Mazo]

As Long As The Candle Burns is the memoir of Chana Bunim Rubin 
Ausubel. The daughter of Irving Bunim, a prominent twentieth-century 
Orthodox Jewish leader, Chana shares stories of her family's involvement 
in the Vaad Hatzolah, the founding of the Young Israel movement, and 
Jewish outreach spanning more than 50 years.


Having been through a divorce at a time when it was uncommon in the 
Jewish community, Chana openly discusses the challenges of supporting 
and raising four children in a single-parent home, in a religious 
community.


Chana also shares some of the moving and inspiring stories culled from 
her experiences throughout her working career. She was responsible for 
setting up Emunah chapters throughout the United States and Israel.


In Israel, Chana developed programs for women to successfully complete 
conversions.


This memoir provides encouragement to fulfill one's potential, 
especially for women who are seeking to become leaders in their 
community, balanced with family. Central to this memoir is Chana's love 
for the State of Israel, and the fulfillment of her dream of aliya. She 
weaves into her memoir the blessings of family and her ways of 
transmitting Torah values for as long as the candle burns.

[ha-Safran] New Book: The Journals of the Haskalah in mid-19th cent.

[Hasafran]

[image:
http://www.magnes-press.com/NetisUtils/srvrutil_getImg.aspx?unitId=4843size=orig]The
Journals of the Haskalah In mid-Nineteenth Century

Hehalutz (1852-1889); Bikurim (1864-1865):

*By Moshe Pelli
http://www.magnes-press.com/Authors/Moshe+Pelli.aspx?name=Moshe+Pelli*

This is the fifth book in the series of monographs and annotated indices on
periodicals of the Haskalah.
It covers two major Hebrew periodicals *Hehalutz *(1852–1889) and*
Bikurim *(1864–1865),
and addresses major developments in the history of the Hebrew Haskalah in
mid-century: the emergence of radical Haskalah in Galicia which found its
mouthpiece in *Hehalutz*, and the contribution of its prolific editor,
Joshua Heschel Schorr, who publishing 13 volumes of his journal.

*Bikurim*, published in two volumes, was edited by Naphtali Keller, and
represented the moderate Haskalah and Hochmat Israel (the scholarly study
of Judaism).
The Indices to the two journals published in this book are
cross-referenced, annotated,

Alphabetized, and author-and-subject listed. They cover all articles,
essays, and scholarly studies on a variety of topics in Jewish Studies,
such as Biblical and Talmudic criticism and commentary, questions regarding
the Halachah (the religious code), and studies on the Hebrew language,
Jewish history, and Jewish education. They also cite newly discovered
medieval Hebrew manuscripts, their critique and studies of their authors.
Also included are various genres in *belles lettres*: poems, stories,
satires, biographies, and miscellaneous writings such as editorial comments
and announcements.

All these subjects are discussed and analyzed in the monographs of the two
journals.
Now, upon their publication, the annotated indices should serve as a
reliable reference tool for viewing and reviewing the major topics and
issues that occupied the minds of the editors and the writers of these
journals in Galicia and elsewhere in Europe in mid-19th century.

Readers may now examine the scope and the character of the material
published in these journals*. *Likewise, it is now convenient to assess the
contribution of participating scholars, authors, and poets, to the Haskalah
literature, and to explore their stand on various scholarly or
Haskalah-related matters.

Re: [ha-Safran] new book - prevailing practice

[HME]

Perhaps if the esteemed author would post a chapter or two, so we at least get 
the gist of the book.
Especially for those of us who are aware that god is a myth created by males, 
for males, a few thousand years ago.
Also, I am not clear on what how God might be conscious means.

Thank you,

Re: [ha-Safran] new book - prevailing practice

[Emily Bergman]

I normally wouldn't say anything in a situation like this, as I hope that
people get their books published and the books are purchased; however,
University Press of America isn't a well respected publisher (and this
situation convinces me, given that the book won't be printed unless there
are a significant number of pre-purchases).  It's one of the 3 or 4
academic publishers from whom I don't buy anything.  This one isn't
terribly expensive...some publishers are very expensive for dubious
quality.  I would just say beware.

[ha-Safran] NEW BOOK ANNOUNCEMENT: The Moon Taker: A Jewish Regency Mystery

[Libi Astaire]

I'm pleased to announce the newest addition to the Ezra Melamed/Jewish Regency 
Mystery Series: The Moon Taker.

Here are the book's details:

The Moon Taker: A Jewish Regency Mystery
By Libi Astaire

There's trouble afoot in Regency London's Jewish community, and no one to stop 
the crimes-until wealthy-widower-turned-sleuth Mr. Ezra Melamed teams up with 
an unlikely pair: General Well'ngone and the Earl of Gravel Lane, the leaders 
of a gang of young Jewish pickpockets. 

 

In this second volume of the Jewish Regency Mystery Series, General Well'ngone 
and the Earl of Gravel Lane set out to discover who murdered Mr. Hamburg, a 
colleague of theirs in the secondhand linen trade. But before they can unmask 
the killer, they must unravel the secret of a mysterious snuff box-a quest that 
takes them from their East End slum to an elegant country house where a group 
of distinguished astronomers are meeting. 

 

Libi Astaire is an award-winning author who often writes about Jewish history. 
In addition to her Jewish Regency Mystery Series, she is the author of Terra 
Incognita, a novel about modern-day descendants of Spain's crypto-Jews, The 
Banished Heart, a novel about Shakespeare's writing of The Merchant of Venice, 
and several volumes of Chassidic tales. She lives in Jerusalem, Israel.


PRICE: $12.99 for the paperback edition; $3.99 for the Kindle Edition

[ha-Safran] New Book -- Voices in the Wilderness: Emerging Roles of Israel Clergywomen

[Gaon Books]

Voices in the Wilderness: Emerging Roles of Israel Clergywomen, edited by 
Jonathan Friedmann and Meeka Simerly gives the voices of Israeli and 
Israeli-born clergywomen, who have confronted societal norms and religious 
barriers to become spiritual leaders. Through the inviting lens of personal 
narratives, they touch upon an array of contemporary issues and offer their 
hopes for the future.

Public society, whether Jewish or not, is much more a wilderness for women than 
for men, even in the 21st century. Thus it is one of the cutting edges of our 
evolution: women engaging with and confronting structures that restrict women’s 
and men’s full potential. The writers in this book show us how to meet each 
stage of life as a place for growth, like the stages of the Israelites’ journey 
in the wilderness. Moscow, New York, Tel Aviv, Romania, Big Sur...integrating 
histories of pain and confusion, reflecting on experiences of anger and shame, 
love and comfort, questioning and spiritual exaltation. You will find these 
stories...a source of inspiration for the future.
Tamar Frankiel, Ph.D., President, Academy for Jewish Religion, California

Far from the traditional silencing of women’s voices, this ground breaking work 
infuses new meaning to the term Kol Isha, impressing upon us how important it 
is to hear women’s voices loud and clear.
Rabbi Daniel Bouskila, International Director, Sephardic Educational Center

The stories of women rabbis and cantors are the voices that have been missing 
for centuries. This book brings a collection of extraordinary women from the 
wilderness closer to the Promised Land; to the place where their Torah, their 
music, their creativity is a blessing to the entire Jewish people. What a gift 
we have received, to follow their hopes and struggles and ultimately their 
unique accomplishments that serve as an inspiration for the next generation of 
women and men.
Rabbi Naamah Kelman, Hebrew Union College - Jewish Institute of Religion

Published by Gaon Books.  ISBN: 9781935604679. 188 pages. $18.95

[ha-Safran] New book

[Angelo Piattelli]

I am pleased to inform you that Magnes Press of the Hebrew University has just 
published: Masorah and Text Criticism in the Early Modern Mediterranean: Moshe 
Ibn Zabara and Menahem de Lonzano, by Professor Jordan S. Penkower, of Bar-Ilan 
University, Department of Bible. This is the first in a new series on the 
Jeselsohn Collection – Books and Manuscripts.

This book discusses Zabara and Lonzano who both worked on a particular Bible 
manuscript, MS Zurich, Jeselsohn 5, which is the first half of a complete 
Masoretic Bible (the other half being MS Sassoon 1209). Zabara was the 15th 
century scribe and masoreter of this Bible and Lonzano the scholar who a 
century later reviewed the text and masorah and glossed them in detail 
(especially in the Pentateuch).

The first chapter deals with Zabara’s work in the manuscript. The bulk of the 
book deals with Lonzano: his biography, the books he wrote and those he glossed 
(both manuscripts and printed books, running the gamut of Judaica), a sample of 
his glosses from several different books, and finally a detailed look at his 
glosses in MS Jeselsohn 5.

Lonzano, a scholar in many areas of Jewish studies, did not live a comfortable 
life. Yet he was a bibliophile. Whenever he had a little money he added to his 
collection of books and manuscripts. Penkower has managed over the past 
decades, with much patience, to track down several of the books in Lonzano’s 
library, which he could not resist glossing.

The book, published in an elegant small folio format (similar to the two Hebrew 
volumes of Maccabees published by Yad Ben Zvi), is illustrated with 
approximately150 color photos, several of them demonstrating Lonzano’s glosses, 
and includes an appendix with 32 photos of folios from the manuscript where the 
masorah magna is written is micrographic form. In addition, there are two other 
appendices by specialists in art history, codicology and palaeography.

The book includes a comparison of Lonzano’s work in text criticism to the work 
of contemporary Jewish scholars, and a comparison to the work of contemporary 
Christain scholars. 

This work should appeal to a broad audience – one that has interests in the 
areas of Renaissance studies, textual criticism, early modern Jewish history, 
Bible studies, Masorah, Kabbalah, and the history of the book.

I close with a link to the book on the Magnes Press website:

[ha-Safran] New Book Announcement: CHOOSE LIGHT! Chassidic Tales for Chanukah, Rosh Hashanah, Sukkos, Passover Shavuos

[Libi Astaire]

New Book Announcement: CHOOSE LIGHT! Chassidic Tales for Chanukah, Rosh 
Hashanah, Sukkos, Passover  Shavuos

 

Dear Safranim,

 

Over the years, some of you have asked if I'd be doing a compilation of my 
retelling of Chassidic tales for the Jewish holidays. I'm therefore happy to 
announce that the compilation is here, in both ebook and paperback editions-and 
just in time for Chanukah!

 

CHOOSE LIGHT! includes the full text of the following ebooks: 

 

36 Candles: Chassidic Tales for Chanukah 

 

Choose Life! 8 Chassidic Tales for the Jewish New Year 

 

Choose Joy! 15 Chassidic Tales for Sukkos 

 

Pass Over to Freedom: 15 Jewish Tales for Passover 

 

The World Is Built With Kindness: 15 Chassidic Tales for Shavuos 

 

In these volumes readers will experience the warmth and wisdom of Chassidic 
masters such as the Baal Shem Tov and Rabbi Zusha of Hanipoli, as well as 
leaders of the Mussar (Ethical) movement. And the more than 80 stories will 
give readers a new appreciation for both the Jewish holidays and the Jewish 
people's ability to remain joyous and optimistic even during the darkest times. 

 

The ebook edition, which sells for $7.99, can be purchased at major online 
booksellers, such as Amazon.com and Barnes and Noble. 

 

The paperback edition, which retails for $16.99, is available at Amazon.com. 

 

As a special offer through Chanukah 5775/2014, the paperback can be purchased 
from me directly, via a payment through PayPal, for just $12.99, which includes 
shipping within the continental United States.

 

For more information about CHOOSE LIGHT! or the individual ebooks in the 
series, please visit my website. To order the paperback via PayPal, my email

Many thanks and have a healthy winter,

Libi Astaire

[ha-Safran] New book - Forgotten Memories by Jimmy Peress

[Jimmy Peress]

Hi Safranim

I would like to bring to your attention my newly released book titled
Forgotten Memories.

The book was published in July 2013 and it is available for purchase at
Amazon in a print edition as well as the Kindle edition.

Book description:

Everyone has a story or two to tell about his life. The author’s life
includes unique circumstances of growing up in three separate countries
before he even reaches his teenage years and of having an utterly devoted
and close-knit family around him. And then totally unplanned events simply
occurred. He did not know all that until he retired from his professional
career and realized that perhaps his story is not as typical or normal as
he once thought. Slowly but surely the author begins to relive it again
tentatively reaching back into the distant past. The result of this search
is an exhilarating journey to discover himself and reconnect with his past
and roots. And in the process he also finds a voice and a knack for
storytelling that combines an irreverent style with self-deprecating humor.
Here they are, the “Forgotten Memories”. Share this journey with the author
and enjoy the ride and the reading as much as he did.

About the author:

The author is a retired engineer who lives in New York City. One day he
took a turn on the wild side and squeezed out an autobiography that was
always inside him. He recommends to other would–be writers who dream of
becoming a published author, to follow their dream. On most sunny days you
can find him at Cunningham Park tennis courts in Queens. When he is not
playing tennis he is busy contemplating his next writing project.

Those interested in learning more about the book can read one chapter for
free at Amazon.com

Thank you very much

[ha-Safran] New book for your consideration

[Barbara Mende]

Hi Safranim -

My friend Mike Adler has just translated and edited the amazing story of his 
father's escape from WWII Europe. I know there are a lot of amazing stories, 
but this is a great one. It's called I Am a Refugee by Camillo Adler, and is 
available on Amazon. In Mike's words:

 Michel F. Adler has translated from German to English his father's, Camillo 
 Adler's, amazing narrative as an Austrian Jew living in France before WWII 
 and the events that followed. Michel discovered the manuscripts in his 
 brother's artifacts after his death. The manuscripts written in 1944 had been 
 lying dormant for nearly 70 years.  The book traces his father's path through 
 internment camps into the Foreign Legion, basic training in Algeria and 
 Morocco and the journey back to France after the armistice with Germany in 
 the summer of 1940. After living quietly in Lyon until its second occupation 
 in November of 1942, it continues to tell of the precarious escape of his 
 family into Switzerland, with two small children in tow, and life in various 
 refugee camps until the eventual reunification of the family. Beyond an 
 account of events, his story is an intimate window into the conditions of the 
 period, the ramifications of human action and inaction and into the 
 thought-world of the many Jewish refugees during that tumultuous time.

If you're interested in a variation on Holocaust themes, this could be it.

Thanks,
Barbara Mende

[ha-Safran] new book in English on antisemitism in Turkey

[RIFAT BALI]

Dear librarians, Dear friends,

Please note that in the following weeks my new book will be published:

*Antisemitism and Conspiracy Theories in Turkey, *Libra Kitap, İstanbul,
2013,*  *418 p., 978-605-4326-73-0

Best regards,

*
*

*Back Cover*

The official line that successive Turkish regimes have frequently repeated
and which has firmly established itself in both Turkish and foreign public
opinion is that the Republic of Turkey is one of those rare countries in
which antisemitism has never taken root, and in which Jews have thus lived
for centuries within a tolerant atmosphere of peace and tranquility, but it
simply isn’t true. Along with antisemitism are the conspiracy theories in
which the “Jew” or the “Zionist” feature as the main actors that are widely
seen throughout Turkish society. In fact, this state of affairs is not
only pervasive but has even become “normal” to the point of banality, so
much so that it tends to draw no reaction from either the country’s
intellectuals or politicians. This book contains a collection of author’s
published articles on the subject—a subject that has received no serious
treatment in Turkey, and as such attempts to fill the gaping hole in our
knowledge of this widespread yet rarely discussed phenomenon and, as such,
stands as an indispensible source for those interested in Turkey and
antisemitism.

[ha-Safran] New book Mi'yarkete Tsafon (From the Ends of the Earth)

[bentsion]

Shalom Safranim,

I'm pleased to announce publication of the new book Mi'yarkete Tsafon (From
the Ends of the Earth) - memoirs of my mother, Gitta Langleben-Klibansky.
The book chronicles Gitta's expulsion from Kovno a few days before the Nazi
invasion of Lithuania and her deportation to one of the most northerly areas
of Siberia at the Arctic Circle. This unique and thrilling account
illuminates aspects of the Second World War that are generally unknown to
typical readers and even to Holocaust researchers.

Below is a summary of the book. I hope it will interest you.
Publishing details: Elkana: History of the Lithuanian Jewry, 2013; 408
pp., 3 color maps, in Hebrew, hard cover. The book can be ordered by e-mail:
bents...@013.net. Price: $28 + shipping.

Ben-Tsiyon Klibansky, Ph.D., M.Sc.
East-European Jewry researcher, The Institute for the History of Polish
Jewry in Tel-Aviv University


Summary:
The book opens with the author's vivid description of her life in a
traditional family in Lithuania in the 1920s and 1930s, her studies at the
Hebrew Gymnasium in Kovno, and the dramatic turn in her life as a result of
the Soviet occupation of Lithuania in 1940. Only a few days before the first
gruesome massacres of the Lithuanian Jews, Gitta and her family are expelled
from their home by the Soviets. Although they escape the claws of the
murderous Nazis and Lithuanians, their destiny takes them to the terrifying
banks of the Arctic Ocean.
 
Gitta's account of life in Siberia is an extraordinary description of her
confrontation with the brutal climate and the flinty Soviet authorities --
but also of an establishment of a Jewish community which, with enormous
effort, attempted to reconstruct the spiritual-communal life it had known in
Lithuania. The kingpins of this new Jewish community were Gitta's father and
the mother of her future husband, who taught the youth Hebrew, organized
daily prayers, constructed Jewish calendars and initiated other activities.
 
Sixteen years later, following the long-awaited release from Siberian exile,
the author and her husband (my father) in Vilna attempt to gain permission
to immigrate to Israel. When their struggle runs into a brick wall, they
express their longing for the Jewish homeland by naming their children with
Jewish names and teaching them the Hebrew language openly. After thirteen
years of tedious efforts, their stubborn struggle succeeds in triumph. The
book ends with their landing in the Promised Land.

As the editor of this work, I have added to the memoirs a research wrapping
of relevant footnotes and a professional article at the appendix dealing
with the deportation of the Lithuanian Jews, based on NKVD documents that I
uncovered at the special archives in Vilna. This extensive research material
complements the author's memoirs from a scientific perspective and reveals
for readers and researchers quite a fascinating piece of Jewish history that
has disappeared until now into the shadow of Holocaust stories.

[ha-Safran] NEW BOOK: The American Balfour Declaration: The Origins Of U.S. Support For Zionism 1917-1922

[ira hollinger]

The American Balfour Declaration: The Origins Of U.S. Support For 
Zionism 1917-1922 tells the story of the first official U.S. 
endorsement of a Jewish home in Palestine in 1922. It is a fascinating 
story, unknown to many people, in which the unlikely heroes are not 
established American Zionist figures like Louis Brandeis and traditional 
friends of the Jews in Washington, DC. Instead, the heroes are an 
immigrant rabbi from Kansas, Simon Glazer, and the leading patrician 
senator, Henry Cabot Lodge. The book succeeds in redefining for us the 
origins of American support for Israel. This informative study breathes 
new life into a key moment in the history of Zionism in the United 
States - the adoption of the Lodge-Fish Resolution of 1922. With skill 
and fresh insight, the author, Paul Azous, considers the major events 
and figures as well as many of the social, religious, and political 
developments surrounding the adoption of the Resolution. All those with 
an interest in the history of Zionism in America will find this book to 
be fascinating and informative.

[ha-Safran] New Book: The American Jewish Story through Cinema

[Ergo Media]

We want to call your attention to the publication of Eric Goldman's new book, 
The American Jewish Story through Cinema (University of Texas Press).  By

an understanding of the American Jewish experience over the last century.

 

Eric will be giving book talks over the next few weeks.  Please join him at the 
Toronto Jewish Film Festival (4/14), 92nd street Y in NYC (4/17), Brandeis 
University (4/18), Jacob Burns Film Center (4/22) or the New Jersey Jewish Film 
Festival (4/24).  Dr. Goldman presents film clips that go back to the 1920s, 
demonstrating how cinema reflects the changing situation of Jews in America.

Seminary and is president of Ergo Media.

[ha-Safran] New Book Release: Day Trips to Jewish History

[Libi Astaire]

Hello everyone and early best wishes for a happy Tu B'Shvat.

I'm pleased to announce the publication of my newest book, a volume of
essays about Jewish history called *Day Trips to Jewish History*.

Some of the essays are the result of my travels throughout Europe to
explore lesser known aspects of Jewish history, such as the journey of the *
Anusim* (crypto-Jews of Spain and Portugal) as they tried to escape the
long arm of the Inquisition. All of the essays were either originally
published in *Mishpacha Magazine* or are adaptations of talks I've given
throughout Israel - and so the tone is meant to engage the interest of the
average Jewish reader (teenage and adults).

Here are the details:

*Day Trips to Jewish History*
By Libi Astaire
Publisher: Aster Press

*Book Description:*

Who was the New World's first Jewish author? Why did some medieval
moneychangers cover their hair? Which Jewish woman became queen of a North
African people? And what's the truth about the story that claims Hebrew
almost became the official language of the United States?

Join journalist and historical novelist Libi Astaire for a fascinating
journey down some of the less-traveled roads of the past in her latest
book, *Day Trips to Jewish History*.

*About the Author:*

Libi Astaire is also the author of the award-winning Ezra Melamed Mystery
Series, a historical mystery series about Regency London’s Jewish
community; *Terra Incognita*, a novel about Spanish villagers who discover
they are descended from Jews who were forced to convert to Christianity
during the Middle Ages; The *Banished Heart*, a novel about Shakespeare’s
writing of *The Merchant of Venice*; and several volumes of Chassidic
tales. For information about these and future books, visit her website at
www.libiastaire.weebly.com.

Available as both a trade paperback and an ebook through Amazon.com:
http://www.amazon.com/Day-Trips-Jewish-History-ebook/dp/B00B2CNYNA

For more information about *Day Trips to Jewish History*, please contact me
at libiasta...@gmail.com

Thanks and be well,
Libi Astaire

Re: [ha-Safran] new book: Comprehensive Yiddish-English Dictionary

[Aaron Kuperman]

Does this dictionary include words from the living Yiddish used in
several ultra-Orthodox communities (largely in Brooklyn, the Hudson
River Valley and in Israel)?  In these places where there are still plenty
of children who speak Yiddish as a first language, new vocabulary is most
likely to be introduced, and in all fairness most resources for Yiddish
language reflect an increasing extinct secularized version of the language
that died out in the middle of the 20th century. --Aaron

[ha-Safran] New book: Next Year in Marienbad

[Efraim Zadoff]

Safranim yekarim shalom,

I would like to share with you the recent news about the publication of
the new book of my daughter in law Dr. Mirjam Zadoff
mirjam.zad...@lrz.uni-muenchen.de: Next Year in Marienbad. The Lost
Worlds of Jewish Spa Culture. University of Pennsylvania Press.

contents and excerpt

A charming, highly readable, and scholarly contribution to the cultural

history of the Jewish bourgeoisie of central and eastern Europe. With 
wit and learning Mirjam Zadoff has elevated Marienbad to the rank of a 
Jewish 'lieu de mémoire.'—Saul Friedlander, University of California, 
Los Angeles

A rich tale beautifully told, Mirjam Zadoff's evocative study 
introduces us to the single most important recreational activity for 
modern Jews in Central Europe: their annual summer pilgrimage to take 
the waters at their favorite spa resorts. Zadoff's remarkable history of

Jewish sociability introduces us to a Chaucerian parade of characters 
and transports us back to those spas, reanimating for the reader their 
long-gone social and cultural life and making it clear why Jews so 
eagerly looked forward to spending next year in Marienbad.—John M. 
Efron, University of California-Berkeley

A very engaging, interesting, suggestive, and important book. Next Year

in Marienbad deals with three famous international spas and skillfully 
uses evidence from each of them to paint a broader picture of 'Jewish 
space' in European life between 1870 and 1938.—Marsha L. Rozenblit, 
University of Maryland

 From the last decades of the nineteenth century through the late 1930s,

the West Bohemian spa towns of Carlsbad, Franzensbad, and Marienbad were

fashionable destinations for visitors wishing to take a cure—to drink 
the waters, bathe in the mud, be treated by the latest X-ray, light, or 
gas therapies, or simply enjoy the respite afforded by elegant parks and

comfortable lodgings. These were sociable and urbane places, settings 
for celebrity sightings, match-making, and stylish promenading. 
Originally the haunt of aristocrats, the spa towns came to be the 
favored summer resorts for the emerging bourgeoisie. Among the many who 
traveled there, a very high proportion were Jewish.

In Next Year in Marienbad, Mirjam Zadoff writes the social and cultural 
history of Carlsbad, Franzensbad, and Marienbad as Jewish spaces. 
Secular and religious Jews from diverse national, cultural, and social 
backgrounds mingled in idyllic and often apolitical-seeming 
surroundings. During the season, shops sold Yiddish and Hebrew 
newspapers, kosher kitchens were opened, and theatrical presentations, 
concerts, and public readings catered to the Jewish clientele. Yet these

same resorts were situated in a region of growing hostile nationalisms, 
and they were towns that might turn virulently anti-Semitic in the off 
season.

Next Year in Marienbad draws from memoirs and letters, newspapers and 
maps, novels and postcards to create a compelling and engaging portrait 
of Jewish presence and cultural production in the years between the fin 
de siècle and the Second World War.

Mirjam Zadoff teaches Jewish history and culture at the University of 
Munich. mailto:mirjam.zad...@lrz.uni-muenchen.de

[ha-Safran] New Book: The Jewish Art of Self Discovery

[Stuart Schnee]

I am pleased to notify you about the new title The Jewish Art of Self
Discovery by Benjamin Rapaport.

 

This book is available via Ingram, Baker  Taylor, the publisher as well as
Amazon and Jewish book stores everywhere.

 

Enjoy, Stuart Schnee

 

 

 

 

The Jewish Art of Self Discovery

 

.a major contribution to Torah-oriented psychology   -Rabbi Abraham J.
Twerski, M.D.

 

The Jewish Art of Self Discovery gives readers, in as clear and concise a
way as possible, a broad spectrum of the Torah's insights into
self-knowledge. People are busier than ever and need a work that enables
them to connect to an insight that is deeply meaningful, thought and emotion
provoking, and highly relevant in just a few minutes. The eighty pieces that
make up The Jewish Art of Self-Discovery, its stories and reflection
questions, are an attempt to meet this need. 



Rabbi Benjamin Rapaport understands that self-knowledge allows us to access
our inner resources, recognize and shape the lens through which we see the
world, and navigate a course to actualize our highest potential. The Jewish
Art of Self Discovery is a guidebook for entering the gates of this wisdom
of self discovery. This work uses the timeless insights into human nature
contained in Torah literature as its compass. Through the use of concise
essays, stories, and reflective questions, the author brilliantly escorts
the reader along their path.

 

About the Author

Benjamin Rapaport grew up in Great Neck, NY, the son of a famous surgeon and
scientist. Following high school, he decided to take a six-month trip to
Israel that turned into a twenty-year career of study. Ben received semicha
(Rabbinic ordination) from Beth Medrash Govoha of Lakewood, N.J.  in 2002,
taught in the Mir Yeshiva in Jerusalem for six years, and lectured at a
number of introductory programs to Judaism. More recently, his activities
have included earning a master's degree in Clinical Sociology and
establishing a clinical practice in counseling. Ben currently lives with his
family in Jerusalem, where he works with individuals and groups, helping
them to discover and develop their unique talents and abilities.

[ha-Safran] new book

[Stahl, Sheryl]

Hi all,

I thought you might be interested in this fascinating new book by my HUC 
colleague.

Sheryl


Becoming Frum: How Newcomers Learn the Language and Culture of Orthodox 
Judaismhttp://becomingfrum.weebly.com/index.html

by Sarah Bunin Benor
Rutgers University Press
November 2012

In the past few decades, the Orthodox Jewish community has seen an influx of 
newcomers: ba'alei teshuva (BTs), literally 'those who return'. BTs grow up in 
non-Orthodox homes and decide as adults to take on strict forms of traditional 
Jewish observance. But when they join an Orthodox community, they encounter 
much more than laws and traditions. They find themselves in the midst of a 
whole new culture, involving matchmakers, homemade brisket and farfel, and 
Yiddish-influenced grammar.

Becoming Frum shows how BTs adopt many aspects of Orthodox culture, but 
sometimes in distinctly BT ways. Some take on as much as they can as quickly 
as they can, going beyond the norms of FFBs (those who are frum [religious] 
from birth). Others adapt gradually, making sure to maintain aspects of their 
pre-Orthodox selves. This yields unique combinations: a black hat worn with 
trendy sunglasses, gefilte fish prepared with Indian spices, and Hebrew words 
used in the same sentence as American slang (like mamish keepin' it real). By 
taking on Orthodox cultural practices in these ways, newcomers are able to 
integrate into their new community while indicating their in-between status, 
highlighting their identity not only as Orthodox Jews but also as BTs.

The findings in this book, based on a year of ethnographic and sociolinguistic 
research in the United States, are relevant for other situations of individuals 
joining new communities, such as medical students becoming doctors or Canadians 
moving to Australia. Becoming Frum offers a scholarly and accessible look at 
the linguistic and cultural process of becoming - an entertaining and 
insightful read for students, scholars, and anyone interested in social 
science, religious studies, or linguistics.

[ha-Safran] New book on S. An-sky's The Dybbuk

[Fernando Peñalosa]

 
 Tsiterboym Books announces the publication of The Dybbuk: Text, Subtext, and 
Context, by Fernando Peñalosa. This wide-ranging account of The Dybbuk  begins 
with a summary of the life of S. An-sky, the polemicist, fiction writer, 
ethnographer, activist,  and folklorist, as well as playwright. It discusses 
the development of the play, including an analysis of its main themes, as well 
as a detailed examination of the probable or possible sources drawn on for its 
composition. There is a lengthy discussion and comparison of the four canonical 
versions: the original Russian, the Yiddish, Bialik’s Hebrew translation, and 
the Habima theatre company’s modified Hebrew production. There follows an 
account of the play’s most important productions,  including the many 
adaptations and spinoffs, such as ballet and musical productions, including 
several operas. Appended to the main text is a series of synopses of the play 
itself, related plays and films, as well as a summary of the stenographic 
report of  Mishpat Hadibbuk, the 1926 mock trial of The Dybbuk  in Tel Aviv, 
following much criticism of performances that year in Mandate Palestine. It has 
detailed notes, an extensive bibliography and index.   viii + 270 pp., 
illustrated.  Available at Amazon.com for $19.95.

[ha-Safran] New Book: Loves in the Shadows

[Chaim Mazo]

Information below about the new publication of Loves In The Shadows by 
Hadassa Mor.


Amazing in its intensity, Loves In The Shadows by Hadassa Mor is a 
historical novel embracing scores of real events that occurred during 
the Holocaust and the Second World War.


Excerpted from a letter by Shimon Peres, President of the State of 
Israel, to the author:


Loves In The Shadows is an everlasting, monumental testimony for the 
State of Israel and for the Jewish People.  The shadow cast by the past 
is sometimes stronger than the light of the present.  I therefore attach 
great importance to books such as yours.


** In a dramatic suspenseful tapestry, Hadassa Mor describes the 
fortunes of two families in Poland, who united to one family after great 
loves that blossomed in the flames and the shadows of the ash: Love in a 
concentration camp; Love in a Death March; Love during a terrible 
pogrom; Love by adopting abandoned child during service in the Anders' 
Army.


** Because of the important message that the author transmits to readers 
around the world, and because of the fascinating plot and the thrilling 
stories that fill each page, this book makes an unforgettable reading 
experience.


** Some of the topics in this book: Kielce, Pogroms, Majdanek, 
Treblinka, Zamosc, Anders Army, the Warsaw Ghetto, all about Polish 
Jews, the Judenrat, the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, Kristallnacht, Belzec, 
the Death marches, and the Nuremberg race laws

[ha-Safran] New book-Jewish Mystery

[Toby Harris]

Dear Friends  Colleagues:

A local mystery writer and member of our Temple, Jane Isenberg, has written a 
very entertaining mystery that features an Orthodox, Yiddish-speaking 
immigrant, who first spends time in the Lower East Side and then makes her way 
to Seattle at the turn of the century.  It covers many topics including 1965 
feminism, immigrant culture, Yiddish, prostitution in goldrush days, Alaska, 
Sephardic culture, Seattle history, and of course, love in a delightful and 
imaginative way.  She's a guest blogger at 
http://www.lesasbookcritiques.blogspot.comhttp://www.lesasbookcritiques.blogspot.com/
 today if you want to know more.

You can order The Bones and the Book at your local bookstore or on-line.
Go to www.JaneIsenberg.com/newbook.htmhttp://www.janeisenberg.com/newbook.htm 
for links for easy ordering and for discussion questions for book groups.
Trade paperback, $14.95
Digital version for your Kindle or Nook. $8.75
ISBN : 978-0-9840109-2-9 from Oconee Spirit Press
Please share this e-mail with your FB friends and your librarian!
Whose bones? What book?
Widowed by the 1965 earthquake, Seattle housewife Rachel Mazursky translates 
the Yiddish diary of a murdered young immigrant, Aliza Rudinsk, whose bones 
were unearthed by the same quake. Rachel shares her translation with the reader 
so Aliza's distinctive voice alternates with Rachel's own passionate account of 
her response to the diary. Aliza's story moves Rachel, compelling her to read 
between the lines while searching Seattle for clues to the young woman's murder.
Isenberg's story pulled me in right from the startling prologue. The twin 
historical stories of Aliza and Rachel are compelling and poignant. The lives 
of these women in 1900 and 1965 are beautifully woven together, the strands 
balancing each other as each discovers her strengths and revises her own 
identity as a woman and a Jew. - Sharan Newman, author of The Shanghai Tunnel.
Past and present collide in this complex, compelling historical mystery. Using 
the classic elements of hidden manuscript and mysterious corpse, the author 
builds a highly original story that is both deeply Jewish and uniquely 
American. Set in two wildly contrasting time periods, but rooted in the 
immigrant experience, the novel deftly explores the mysteries of difference, 
identity, loneliness, love, betrayal--and family. Lev Raphael, author of 
Rosedale in Love: A Gilded Age Novel.

[ha-Safran] New Book Announcement: Tempest in the Tea Room: An Ezra Melamed Mystery

[Libi Astaire]

I'm thrilled to announce that the third volume in my Ezra Melamed Mystery 
Series has just been published and is available in both paperback and ebook 
formats. 

I've also noticed that Amazon.com has included the paperback edition in their 
Buy 4 Books, Get 1 Free special, although I'm not sure how long this special 
promotion will last.  

Here are the book's details:

Tempest in the Tea Room: An Ezra Melamed Mystery
By Libi Astaire

Jane Austen meets Sherlock Holmes when a crime wave sweeps through 19th-century 
London's Jewish community and the adventures of wealthy-widower-turned-sleuth 
Ezra Melamed are recorded for posterity by Miss Rebecca Lyon, a young lady not 
quite at the marriageable age. 

In this third volume of the series, tragedy strikes when the Jewish orphanage's 
children are stricken with a mysterious and nearly fatal stomach ailment. When 
the ailment travels to the Mayfair home of Lady Marblehead, a young Jewish 
physician is accused of poisoning his patients - a suspicion that is further 
fueled when a priceless pearl bracelet is discovered missing from Lady 
Marblehead's jewellery box.

As more outbreaks occur, an increasingly hysterical community turns to Mr Ezra 
Melamed to investigate the case. But once again there are too few clues and too 
little time, especially since the littlest victim, a frail orphan boy, is 
already almost at death's door.


PRICE: $9.99 for the paperback edition; $2.99 for the Kindle Edition
ISBN-13: 978-0983793168 (paperback edition)
AVAILABLE at Amazon.com: 
http://www.amazon.com/Tempest-Tea-Room-Melamed-Mystery/dp/0983793166

Many thanks and early best wishes to all for a good and sweet New Year,
Libi Astaire__

Hello Safranim:

 

I got a free copy of this new book, Israel Matters from our Jewish
Federation, who is sending it to all the local synagogues. It looks quite
good and I volunteered to distribute the info about it to other librarians.
Find it here: http://www.behrmanhouse.com/israel-matters

 

It is an introduction to topics relating to Israel for a wide audience,
particularly middle school and high school students.  It would be a good
text for a class.

[ha-Safran] New Book - Defining the Moment: Understanding Brain Death in Halakhah

[Shoresh Press]

*Defining the Moment: Understanding Brain Death in Halakhah* presents the
halakhic approaches to understanding brain death. Modern halakhists are
indeed split on whether brain death qualifies as death, with many rejecting
the notion and others embracing it as meaningful. Answering this question
is of life and death importance, since organs can only be transplanted from
dead donors. Brain death is accepted as death in most legal systems. Ever
since the concept of brain death was introduced in the 1960s, philosophers,
ethicists, and religious leaders alike have argued its meaning.


All modern halakhists rely on the same medical facts and their conclusions
stem from the same rich halakhic corpus, yet lead to diametrically opposed
conclusions. *Defining the Moment* first presents the science and cutting
edge medicine behind the diagnosis and physiology of brain death, providing
the context for evaluating and analyzing the halakhic positions. The book
then provides perspective by examining the assumptions and questioning the
premises of the different halakhic approaches. In comparing and contrasting
the various opinions, *Defining the Moment* creates a ‘conversation’
between them, analyzing each approach in light of the sources and in
response to each other.


Balancing saving the recipient’s life against the sanctity of the life of
the potential donor, even if short-lived, is monumental and terrifying.
This complexly choreographed dance puts the sanctity of both the donor and
recipients’ lives at its center and champions it as a halakhic ideal,
advocating maximizing life whenever possible. This halakhic exploration of
the issue provides a wonderful example of how the timeless Halakhah relates
to our modern, highly technological, and scientific lives. *Defining the
Moment* offers a window into this exciting and challenging chapter in the
living halakhic process.

[ha-Safran] ||\\//|| New Book: Peshat Before Derash-In The Study of Torah

[Chaim Mazo]

In the spirit of Rabbi Joseph Kara, Rashi's friend and pupil, the 
author, Alan Smith, believes that Peshat - the plain meaning of the text 
(in narrative, not necessarily in laws) - must be fully understood 
before studying Midrash. However to understand the full meaning and 
implications of a text written thousands of years ago is easier said 
than done. The Talmud gives rules for interpreting by Derash, but not 
for finding the Peshat, the simple meaning of the text. In Peshat Before 
Derash, the author gives guidelines, with examples of how to study Torah 
by means of Peshat before Derash.
