Re: [ha-Safran] Education board cuts Jewish holidays

[Emily Bergman via Hasafran]

Growing up in OK and TX, the Jewish holidays were unexcused absences, and I
could only make up work if the teacher allowed me to do so (I don't
remember ever not being able to make up work).  I'd rather get rid of all
religious holidays as public school holidays than choose which ones to
include...but that'll never happen.  Emily

Dear colleagues,



I am very delighted to introduce you to Tali Winkler, Yale University Library’s 
new Hebraica Metadata Librarian.



Tali started her position on October 24th. She came to us from the University 
of Chicago, where she had been a doctoral candidate working on her dissertation 
on the Jewish Book Trade in Early Modern Germany. She gained a M.A. in Medieval 
Jewish History from Yeshiva University and a B.A. in Near Eastern Languages and 
Civilizations from the University of Pennsylvania.



In addition to her studies, Tali has spent time in libraries, museums, and 
auction houses since being an undergraduate. Among others, she was involved in 
the Footprint Project; in that capacity, she spent time at the Spertus 
Institute for Jewish Learning and Leadership working with their rare book 
collection where she proved her excellent paleographic skills in Hebrew as well 
as early modern German scripts.



Please join me in welcoming Tali (and feel free to drop her an email at 
tali.wink...@yale.edu).



Best wishes,



Konstanze

[ha-Safran] Jewish Book Month/Reading Challenge

[Erika Dreifus via Hasafran]

Shalom, Safranim,

Just a quick note to mention that I've created a reading challenge to
accompany this year's Jewish Book Month (which, as I'm sure most of you
know, begins tomorrow). You can access and share the information at the
following:

[ha-Safran] Education board cuts Jewish holidays

[Martha Simpson via Hasafran]

This article was on the front page of the Hartford Courant.  Basically, in
Farmington, CT, the town's South Asian population asked the school board to
make Diwali a day off, since Asians represent 23% of the population. Not
only did the school board say no, they also decided to take away Rosh
Hashanah and Yom Kippur, which had already been approved holidays.

I don't know if this is anything we can take action on, but I thought it
was important to let people know about it.

Re: [ha-Safran] animal sound

Lizlol  (short i sound, long o sound) means to gobble
  לזלול
gobble, gorge, chow down   Don't know if that will work for you, but here
is a great Hebrew and many other languages resource.context.reverso.net

Add it to your computer and  cell phone and you can highlight text and it
will translate.  Better than Google translate but it still translates
