Dear Yossie
I know this isn't your normal type of posting for hasafran, but see
in this newsletter my article about the baboon. I bet it hasn't
happened to any other Judaica Librarian in the association! I thought
other members might be interested. Otherwise just delete!
Best Regards
Veronica

Hi,
I know that there are a few librarians in the Baltimore area on this list.
If anyone has any colleague/friend/connection at the Baltimore County

in Rabbinical literature and enrolled in an M.S. in Information Studies
program focussing on cataloging and rare books.
So far as I know there are no active programs in Judaica Librarianship
in existence. There
I have a patron who is looking for the sheet music for the zemirah,
Kol mekadesh. I found a recording and a Yiddish version in an
anthology in my library and a Hebrew version at Brigham
Young. The patron asked also about other versions of the song,
including switching the words around for
This book has received favorable reviews in both the NYTimes Book
Review and Newsweek. It appears that Crum has followed the text

apparently uses it in part as a source for his text.

Below is a link to a recent review that should help in deciding
whether or not to order this version of Bereshit.
Also, if you google Crumb Book of Genesis under the images tab you
will find several illustrations from the book.
For those curious about Genesis by R. Crumb, he was interviewed
yesterday on All Things Considered on NPR. The interview can be
heard by going to the NPR website. After listening to it, I decided
it is probably not appropriate for a Jewish library.

Excellent input, Sara, on the subject of Holocaust books for
children. You listed one of my absolute favorites in this category,
THE DEVIL'S ARITHMETIC. It meets all the criteria you suggested, and
the reason I've recommended this book for years and years is the
remove/safety aspect. Since

This topic has come up before (I've been looking through the
