Re: [ha-Safran] Reference Works on Judaism

[Galron, Joseph via Hasafran]

From: Barry Dov Walfish
Sent: Sunday, October 02, 2022 6:38 PM
To: hasafran@lists.osu.edu
Subject: Reference Works on Judaism




ZjQcmQRYFpfptBannerEnd
Dear Amanda, Safranim,

I kind of suspect that Amanda is aware of the EJ and that this is not what 
she's looking for.
The EJ is a wonderful resource in many ways, but it has serious shortcomings in 
terms of being up-to-date and inclusive, as I pointed out in my article in JL 
in 2012:
“Encyclopedia Interrupta, or Gale’s Unfinished: the Scandal of the EJ2.” 
Judaica Librarianship 16(2012):195-209.
The problem is that while many articles were updated from the 1972 edition, 
many that should have been were not.
It is true that for some topics, for which there has not been much research, 
the old articles are still adequate, even very good. But for many, this is not 
the case.
The classic example, which still boils my blood, is the disgraceful article on 
Homosexuality, which was written for the 1972 edition and, astonishingly, was 
not replaced for the 2007 edition (there's only a short update at the end, 
which hardly does justice to the tremendous changes that have occurred 
throughout the Jewish world in the last thirty years or so on this subject). 
This is a cardinal example of an article that has not stood the test of time. 
There are many other examples, some of which I discuss in my article.
For any topic, which is being actively researched, it is important that a 
reference work discuss it according to the most up-to-date research, which is 
why encyclopedias are updated every few years.
It is already 15 years since the 2nd edition of the EJ and 50 years since the 
first. There don't seem to be any plans to produce a new edition anytime soon. 
And there are no other Jewish-only encyclopedias that can compete.
In light of this, allow me to promote a project I have been involved with for 
the last 14 years, and which unfortunately has not received much attention 
among Judaica librarians -- The Encyclopedia of the Bible and its Reception 
(EBR). EBR is not an encyclopedia of Judaism, but it does include comprehensive 
Jewish coverage of hundreds of topics. Furthermore, it has the advantage of 
including coverage of Christianity, Islam, and other religions, as well as the 
arts--literature, music, visual arts, film, and dance. The articles are 
up-to-date (publishing began in 2009 and continues; vol. 20 (covering the last 
part of M and the beginning of N) appeared earlier this year and vol. 21 (N-O) 
should be published this winter. Thirty vols., plus a supplementary volume are 
projected.
So, this should make it especially appealing to the NYPL, which would have 
readers from a variety of backgrounds interested in all these topics. 
Unfortunately, the cost is probably prohibitive for small synagogue and school 
libraries.
Of course, the focus is biblical, which means that most of the articles begin 
with the Bible and then proceed to show how biblical themes, characters, 
places, and ideas, were treated over the centuries and developed or changed 
from their biblical origins. In many cases, the farther one gets from the 
biblical period, the less biblical influence one finds. EBR also includes 
articles on sages,  medieval and modern philosophers, kabbalists, literary 
authors, musicians, filmmakers, and artists who were influenced by the Bible. 
Many Judaism articles are divided into periods -- Second Temple, Rabbinic, 
Medieval and Modern -- for more detailed coverage.
I am attaching the articles on Homosexuality from the EJ and from EBR for 
comparison purposes. I hope you will agree that the differences in content, 
coverage, and tone, are stark.
Best wishes to everyone for shanah tovah and gemar hatimah tovah,
Barry

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

[Amalia Warshenbrot via Hasafran]

Shalom,
Recently a few Israeli authors publish their books in English (like Ayelet 
Tzabari).
Is  Omer Friedlander’s book The Man  Who Sold Air in the Holy Land written only 
in English ?

Amalia W,

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

[Rachel Kamin via Hasafran]

Hi Amalia,

I believe Omer Friedlander writes in English. While he was born in Jerusalem 
and grew up in Tel Aviv, he has a BA in English Literature from the University 
of Cambridge and an MFA from Boston University. He currently lives in New York. 
 Go to 
https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.omerfriedlander.com/aboutomer__;!!KGKeukY!2x9eF9x-DJQGJtqB-EMvbiyOYnpv_4a0nz-FRFMjMILF1uTJ7gXUoTzu5DMaUsH70PQIhDrZU2bCtP9LrwkZxg$
   to learn more.

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

[ha-Safran] NYPL Dorot Jewish Division Mentioned in Atlas Obscura

[Jacqueline Benefraim via Hasafran]

Shalom,

In case you missed it two weeks ago as you were too busy cooking your own
holiday meals, AJL's own Amanda Seigel gets a shout out in this article
about Dorot's Jewish cookbook collection. This is the perfect time to
mention that cookbook author Michael Twitty will be in conversation with
her at AJL's Online Gala on October 23. His book is more memoir than
cookbook, but you'll find it a thought provoking and satisfying read even
if you don't cook.

[ha-Safran] REPOST -- To hasafran@lists.osu.edu re.: English translation of הפרוטה (ha-perutah) of S.Y. Agnon

[Kohn, Roger via Hasafran]

---

Fellow Safranim,

I am looking for an English translation of הפרוטה  (ha-perutah) and from the 
Bet Agnon found out that it is in this collection:

Forevermore & other stories /  S.Y. Agnon ; edited and annotated by Jeffrey 
Saks.
New Milford : Toby Press, [2016]
xvii, 302 pages : ‡b illustrations ; ‡c 23 cm

Would it be possible for someone on this list to make a .pdf file for me and 
send it to me to my LC address (r...@lloc.gov) ?

Thanks in advance for your response.

All the best,

.-r.
