[ha-Safran] Breaking News About The Book, The Shtetl Of Musnik
After the book The Shtetl of Musnik was published in English, the Musnik community came together to publish this harrowing story of their past into the Lithuanian language. On Wednesday August 27, 1941, the police and Lithuanian partisans evicted all the Jews of Musnik from their homes and on September 5, 1941, the partisans and police took all the Jews of Musnik (Musninkai) together with the Jews of Sirvintos and Gelvonai and the surrounding farms - men, women, and children - and shot them in the ditches of Pivonia near Vilkomir. This was the tragic end of the Jewish community of Musnik and of the Jewish communities of the Vilkomir Region of Lithuania. In addition to the Lithuanian edition, the Musnik community has created a dramatic video of their city today and its Jewish history, which it went public with this week.

Dear Hasafranim, I am near the end of recataloging our adult fiction. I have found several books from authors such as Martha Wolfenstein, Jacob Lazarre, Rufus Learsi, and Samuel Gordon, all of which were published between 1900 and 1925. The books are in relatively good condition, though certainly show their age. My question is, considering their status and condition, whether to place them in circulating fiction or reference . What have others done? I know that some of them are considered forgotten classics, so I don't want to weed them, but they also show no sign of ever having been circulated.

The fellowship program will be offered over two years and will target faculty of the schools of education and related disciplines at each institution. Approximately 20 faculty from the three institutions will be selected through an application process to comprise a cohort of fellows.The first fellowship will begin in April of this year. Each cohort will attend five in-person and five online workshops to learn strategies, tools, and approaches for using educational technologies to improve student engagement and learning. CCNMTL staff will facilitate the in-person workshops, which will be based on seminars on teaching with technology the Center currently offers to Columbia faculty. Each fellow will design and implement an educational technology project in his/her own teaching with the support of the home institution. Fellows will receive individual assistance with projects through weekly virtual office hours with CCNMTL staff. The fellowship will culminate in two showcase events at which fellows will demonstrate the projects they have developed. A final component of the partnership is a monthly round-table gathering of the leadership of the three institutions with CCNMTL directors to discuss strategic and tactical directions around educational technologies. The fellowship is sponsored by the Jim Joseph Foundationhttp://columbia.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=270cb0af914396e26f572ddaeid=1bbe2127fde=885f01e8b0, a philanthropic organization dedicated to supporting the education of Jewish youth and young adults in the United States.

You can also make a display the Best books you're not reading to highlight some forgotten books. If you use bookcovers (sadly, we toss ours) you can recover them with a shiny new jacket to make them look newer.

The panel will include current thinking and work on how data collection has been used to serve congregational process and goals. The focus is on applied research by, for, and about Jewish congregations; depending on the papers offered, it could take a more theoretical direction. The panel would benefit from including everything from big data to small-scale approaches and projects. Papers will also likely frame any applied work within larger issues that face congregations now. Larger issues relate, for example, to collaboration among congregations towards effective and affordable programming (that is my topic), helping congregations become more internally vibrant, or other issues of congregational change and viability. The panel ideally may also include non-academic stakeholders in this field, such as those who fund synagogue innovation and vitality projects.
