[ha-Safran]: URJ Biennial in San Diego

2007-11-20 Thread Fredisaac
Just for information -- Is anyone planning to be there next month? I know I'll be pretty busy, but if someone is willing to meet me, I'd like to walk through the Convention hall with an eye to having a presence in 2009 (wherever that will be). Fred Isaac Messages and opinions expressed on

Thank you. I didn't trust Library Journal editors way before this was even a glimmer of an issue. How scary that no-one there thought anything was amiss with these reviews. Madeleine Cohen Oakley Adas Israel Congregation Washington, DC Messages and opinions expressed on Hasafran are those of

I don't think that is the Jerusalem Report calling you but rather a magazine sales group. I once had a huge problem when I finally agreed to resubscribe through them, not knowing they were the actual company, and the money etc was not passed on to the Jerusalem Report. Try contacting the

Not a warning label, but I think we should try to put descriptive/summary notes (520 in MARC) in the catalog for as many materials as possible, and I would note in the record for this film that it is a tragicomedy with poignant elements as well as containing very humorous material. This is in

I don't know the movie, but from I've just been reading of reviews, it sounds pretty crass and awful, so why it's in the Jewish Heritage Collection puzzles me. It is rated R, besides. One review says that the DVD is worthwhile because Crystal explains a lot. That aside, however, I don't think

imds.com and the New York Times review of the movie both call _Mr. Saturday Night_ a comedy. Comedy vs. tragedy is not something librarians or book reviewers have ever warned people about. It would be too hard to determine who is sensitive to the issues raised by the movie. Like most well
