Elliot’s curatorial expertise has been in evidence in many of the exhibitions in the Library and those the Frankel Center has featured, including recent exhibitions on Haggadahs and pushkes (charity boxes) in the latter location. In 2017, in conjunction with the bicentennial celebration of the University, he curated a major exhibition in the exhibit space of the Special Collections Library entitled "Striving to Stimulate Serious Thought: Jewish Scholarly and Cultural Life at Michigan Across Two Centuries." Elliot has made lasting contributions to Jewish studies and the community through research, presentations, and to the profession through multiple roles in service to the Association of Jewish Libraries, the Jewish information Committee of the ALA Ethnic and Multicultural Information Exchange Round Table (EMIERT) of which he has been a longtime chair, and the ALA RUSA Sophie Brody Medal Committee. He has served in numerous capacities in AJL including as president of the Research Libraries, Archives, and Special Collections (RAS) Division and for a number of years as AJL's liaison to ALA. In 1994, he devised a series of joint AJL/ALA programs, many of these--twelve so far at AJL and ALA conferences--which he coordinated and chaired. Elliot’s passion for and expertise in Yiddish have enriched the University of Michigan. He facilitates a weekly Yiddish conversational group and has taught Yiddish at the University of Michigan, Florida Atlantic University, and the University of Kentucky. Jeffrey Veidlinger, Director of the Frankel Center for Judaic Studies, notes especially that “Elliot has also been an important member of the Yiddish community here at Michigan, contributing to our global reputation as a leading center of Yiddish studies.” While he will be retiring from UM, Elliot plans to continue to be active in AJL and ALA and attend their meetings and conferences. Elliot’s last day of work will be December 21st. Please join his colleagues in wishing him a happy retirement. -- Beth Snyder Head, International Studies Technical Services Assistant Head, International Studies The University of Michigan Library __ Messages and opinions expressed on Hasafran are those of the individual author and are not necessarily endorsed by the Association of Jewish Libraries (AJL) == Submissions for Ha-Safran, send to:

I have been here for 22 years and worked in the field for over 35 years. This decision is totally my choice, and I am excited to plan the next part of my life which will include taking classes, volunteer work, learning, more family and grandchildren time, and AJL. Sadly, the school is not replacing me with a professional. The technology department will be absorbing the library space and program, although it has become quite clear that it will not be continuing in anywhere near a similar way. It saddens me that our excellent, current, and expansive collection of Judaica and general studies will probably fade away. Many teachers have approached me to express their disappointment in the school's decision. As seems to be in many cases, I don't think the administration realizes how important the role of the library is in our educational process. Unfortunately, I will not be able to attend the conference in Boston since school ends on June 20. It is important to me to finish my job and leave in the right way. Thank you all for your help over the years, your encouragement and ideas, and your ongoing support. I look forward to continuing to work with AJL and all of you, a very special group of colleagues and friends.

The Fanny Goldstein Merit Award, named for the librarian, social activist and founder of National Jewish Book Month, is bestowed in recognition of loyal and ongoing contributions to the Association and to the profession of Jewish librarianship. Born on May 15, 1895 [some sources say 1888], Fanny Goldstein devoted her life to books and community. She was the first female Judaica librarian and the first woman to direct a branch library in Massachusetts, where she was head of Boston's West End Branch for many years. A prominent figure in the Boston Jewish community, she is best known as the founder of Jewish Book Week, which began when Goldstein organized a display of Jewish books at the Boston Public Library in 1925. Heidi Rabinowitz Estrin has served AJL and the profession of Judaica librarianship in numerous capacities and with great distinction for many years. Heidi was President of the Association of Jewish Libraries (2012-2014) in a tenure distinguished by inclusivity, strength, and candor. Heidi was the chairperson of the Public Relations Committee (2005-2010) and the Sydney Taylor Book Award Committee (2004-2006). In addition, she serves on the AJL Strategic Planning Committee. Heidi has taken the lead in increasing the visibility of AJL. Heidi oversaw the recording and editing of podcasts of AJL conference sessions and posted them online. She regularly posts photographs, notifications, and announcements about AJL on Facebook and other social media and monitors them to maintain an active engagement with the AJL and Jewish bibliophile communities. Recently, Heidi has regularly maintained the AJL website and has served as the go-to person for website changes at www.jewishlibraries.org. Heidi has been instrumental in promoting Jewish literature. She has interviewed numerous authors on her Book of Life: a Podcast about Jewish People and the Books We Read [link to: www.bookoflifepodcast.com] and carefully edited those interviews into lively listening for lovers of Jewish books everywhere. Having just celebrated its tenth year, these extraordinary podcasts are notable for their thoughtful engagement with Jewish texts and their authors. Heidi also spearheaded AJL Reads [link to: http://jewishlibraries.org/content.php?page=AJL_Reads], a call-in book club for discussion among members around a given book. And in addition to all of her AJL activities, Heidi works as the Library Director and Media Specialist at Congregation B’nai Israel in Boca Raton, Florida.

As parliamentarian at numerous AJL meetings, she has displayed her expertise in the rules of order and guided participants on proper procedures to ensure that the appropriate rules are followed fairly and that multiple voices are heard. Joy has also played a similar role in the many Board and Council debates and votes that have taken place via e-mail. Words like “ensure” and “make sure” are crucial in understanding the importance of Joy’s contributions. All too often, those who work to allow others to shine are overlooked. Joy has performed her challenging roles with her characteristic understatement, modesty, professionalism, and grace. In this the year of AJL’s Jubilee conference, the AJL Awards Committee feels that it is especially fitting to honor a member whose work helps us better understand our own history as Hebraica and Judaica archivists and librarians, keepers of the Jewish book and of Jewish papers, and helps provide access to that history for future generations of librarians and scholars. The world of AJL and our profession more broadly will be better understood thanks in no small measure to the tireless efforts of Joy Kingsolver. Joy, we thank you for your work and we honor your achievements!

Re: [ha-Safran] Sydney Taylor Book Award Winners
Congratulations to all the honorees and to the committee. I am looking forward to seeing them here in Las Vegas! Please let me know who will be coming as soon as you can so I can reserve their rooms and plan accordingly. Suzi Dubin From: Aimee Lurie Sent: Tuesday, January 21, 2014 7:49 AM To: hasafran@lists.service.ohio-state.edu Subject: [ha-Safran] Sydney Taylor Book Award Winners Dear Friends: It is my pleasure to announce that Laurel Snyder and Catia Chien, author and illustrator of The Longest Night: A Passover Story, Patricia Polacco author and illustrator of The Blessing Cup, and Neal Bascomb, author of The Nazi Hunters: How a Team of Spies and Survivors Captured the World’s Most Notorious Nazi, are the 2014 winners of the Sydney Taylor Book Award. The Sydney Taylor Book Award honors new books for children and teens that exemplify the highest literary standards while authentically portraying the Jewish experience. The award memorializes Sydney Taylor, author of the classic All-of-a-Kind Family series. The winners will receive their awards at the Association of Jewish Libraries Conference in Las Vegas, Nevada this June. Snyder and Chien will receive the 2014 gold medal in the Sydney Taylor Book Award’s Younger Readers category for The Longest Night: A Passover Story, published by Schwartz Wade, an imprint of Random House Children’s Books. Written in gentle verse, the tumultuous days leading up to the Jews flight from Egypt are described from the perspective of an unnamed slave girl in this beautifully illustrated story. It provides a unique introduction to the Passover holiday for young readers in an honest, but age-appropriate way. Committee member Charna Gross notes: “We all know about our history as slaves in Egypt, the ten plagues, the Exodus, and the splitting of the Red Sea. But in Snyder’s retelling, accompanied by Chien’s dream-like illustrations, we are somehow transported to the rusty red banks of the Nile, witnessing each plague. This book is a marvel.” The award in the Older Readers category will be presented to Patricia Polacco for The Blessing Cup, a Paula Wiseman Book, published by Simon Schuster Books for Young Readers, an imprint of Simon Schuster. In this prequel to The Keeping Quilt, Polacco shares the story of another treasured family heirloom. The miraculous journey of the remaining teacup from a china tea set, deliberately left behind when her Jewish ancestors were forced to leave Czarist Russia, from the shtetl to America will strike an emotional chord with readers. “I was moved to tears reading this book. The gorgeous illustrations and heartfelt story remind readers of the importance of sharing from generation to generation our own family histories and the incredible sacrifices made by our ancestors to start new lives in America,” said committee chair, Aimee Lurie. In 1988, The Keeping Quilt was the Sydney Taylor Book Award Winner for Younger Readers. Neal Bascomb will receive the 2014 gold medal in the Sydney Taylor Book Award’s Teen Readers category for The Nazi Hunters: How a Team of Spies and Survivors Captured the World’s Most Notorious Nazi published by Arthur A. Levine Books, an imprint of Scholastic. A stunning account of the spy mission to capture Adolf Eichmann by an elite team of Israeli spies is dramatically brought to life by Neal Bascomb. According to committee member Barbara Krasner, It is obvious that he spent decades conducting meticulous research on several continents to produce this winning and chilling narrative. Bascomb has set a new nonfiction gold standard for young readers.” Six Sydney Taylor Honor Books were named for 2014. For younger readers, two Honor Books were selected, both published by Kar-Ben a division of Lerner Publishing Group: Stones for Grandpa by Renee Londoner with illustrations by Martha Avillés and Rifka Takes a Bow by Betty Rosenberg Perlov with illustrations by Cosei Kawa. The Boy on the Wooden Box: How the Impossible Became Possible...on Schindler’s List by Leon Leyson with Marilyn J. Harran and Elisabeth B. Leyson (Atheneum Books for Young Readers, an imprint of Simon Schuster Children’s Publishing Division) and Dear Canada: Pieces of the Past: The Holocaust Diary of Rose Rabinowitz, Winnipeg, Manitoba, 1948 by Carol Matas (Scholastic Canada) garnered recognition as an Honor Books for Older Readers. For Teen Readers, the honor goes to Dancing in the Dark by Robyn Bavati (Flux, an imprint of Llewellyn Worldwide) and The War Within These Walls by Aline Sax with illustrations by Caryl Strzelecki and translated by Laura Watkinson (Eerdmans Books for Young Readers). In addition to the medal-winners, the Award Committee designated thirteen Notable Books of Jewish Content for 2014. Attached is a list of all of the winners, including the notables.

This sounds like it would make a good roundtable discussion at our 2014 conference. Would anyone want to lead it? Susan Dubin 2014 AJL Conference Chair From: Kuperman, Aaron Sent: Thursday, December 12, 2013 11:45 AM To: 'Andrea Rapp' ; Hasafran Subject: Re: [ha-Safran] A general question Some types of employment will disappear (public and school libraries seem most endangered). Highly specialized libraries will remain. Note that the skill set will evolve. While subject knowledge and good language skills will remain important, librarians are increasingly being the ones who set up and maintain databases and other online resources. If someone was asking me how to become a librarian, I'ld suggest a B.A. in the subject they want to specialize in, minor in related subjects, multiple foreign languages preferably from different language families, and a second major in IT. Generalists with English majors seeking work in school and public libraries probably will have trouble finding employment. Computer savy polyglots with useful majors in law, business and the sciences will still find jobs. Printed books seem to be on their way out, just as scrolls and tablets (the original ones, that you had to bake to make them fixed) disappeared without affecting librarianship (though I am sure there are people who thought the rise of printing and use of vernacular languages was the doom of librarianship).

Suzi Dubin 2014 Conference Chair From: Janice Lieberman Sent: Thursday, August 15, 2013 11:16 AM To: hasafran@lists.service.ohio-state.edu Cc: bgeph...@comcast.net Subject: Re: [ha-Safran] Curriculum Suggestions for 3-5 grade? Chelm stories are a huge hit with my students, too! In addition, we love the books that Rose Myers refers to in her message, in which readers/listeners can guess the solution before it's revealed. Actually, making predictions is something we often do before and while reading many different texts. I guide the students in making predictions based on the title and cover of a book, and then at appropriate places in the middle of a story I pause and ask what might happen next. After frequently doing this together, the students develop the habit of making predictions on their own, and it's a great way for a reader/listener to engage with a text and actively think about what's happening. I created a chart (see attached) identifying Judaic books that I have successfully used with upper elementary students. Some of them are picture books, while others are chapter books and anthologies. Many of the stories take longer than 15 minutes to read and discuss, so if you can have longer library periods that may be helpful. Happy reading!

I share with them lots of picture books and chapter books - historical fiction, folktales, midrashim, holiday tales and more. There are many enriching and thought-provoking choices for this age group! The students love to discuss predictions, debate characters' actions, and explore lessons that can be learned. When we do other types of activities, they often ask when they'll get to hear more books, so I try to balance their desire to enjoy literature (and my desire to discuss it with them) with my need to engage them in a variety of library tasks.

Re: [ha-Safran] conferences
Very well said, Elliot. Those are all the reasons a joint conference would be difficult. For 2014, I met with ALA chairs to explore a possible joint conference. They were very willing to accommodate us by offering us space for AJL meetings within their conference. We looked at joining them on Sunday, having AJL business meetings on Monday, and then extending the AJL conference for our own special sessions until Wednesday. They said our attendees could have free passes to exhibits and a reduced registration for ALA. The problem was that they could not work out the Kashrut with their hotels for the days we overlapped. Making our own hotel arrangements would have necessitated also making transportation available to get to the ALA venues --- not inexpensive. So, we opted for preceding their convention as we have done in the past.(We end on Wednesday and they start on Friday) The kashrut issue may be something local to Las Vegas, so I do recommend looking into trying to combine the programs again in other places. Suzi From: Elliot Gertel Sent: Thursday, February 14, 2013 12:23 PM To: Rose Shoshanah Seidman Cc: hasaf...@lists.osu.edu ; Helen Chronister Subject: Re: [ha-Safran] conferences First, I apologize for the length of my message, but I think this is a rather complicated issue for a variety of reasons. FWIW, even though I am enumerating several obstacles below as to why AJL and ALA Annual Conferences cannot really overlap except perhaps for a day--as we have done at some of our joint programs since 1995--I am actually very much in favor of finding a way to make a convergence of the two conferences work or at least try it. That said, I want to state a few reasons why this is a difficult concept to put into practice. My understanding is that the primary reason AJL has been unable to piggyback (sorry for the treyf allusion) on ALA Annual Conference is that it is still very important to enough attendees of AJL Annual Conference to be able to have most of our meals during conference together, and that in order to accommodate all types of dietary requirements, these be strictly kosher meals. Apparently, ALA cannot guarantee such an arrangement. And, even if ALA could do so, the registration fees for the AJL portion of the conference or pre-conference would still have to be (much) higher than what ALA conference registration is. Remember, ALA registration doesn't include any meals. It is mainly the meals that make AJL registration so expensive. Another thing that might make it complicated to do AJL Annual simultaneously with ALA Annual is that we have highly specialized sessions; indeed ALA does, as well, but they are much broader in overall scope. With hundreds of programs going on at the exact same time, it is already difficult to select which ones to to attend. With these taking place sometimes quite a distance apart (unlike AJL, which is in one hotel), it can be problematic getting from one to another Indeed, even at AJL Annual with considerably fewer sessions, there are often simultaneous programs that are of interest, which makes it difficult to decide which ones to go to. If we add the many hundreds of ALA programs into the mix, it may dilute attendance even further at the AJL-specific sessions. Yet another consideration: most ALA Annual attendees tend to be there from Friday-Monday. AJL has traditionally been held Sunday-Wednesday. Friday and Sunday would be the strongest possible days for concurrent AJL and ALA (esp. joint) programming. And, many ALA attendees don't even stay through Monday. For example, at ALA Annual in Anaheim last June, we had a really fine joint program co-sponsored by AJL, ALA EMIERT JIC (Jewish Information Committee), ATLA (American Theological Library Association), ASCLA (Association of Specialized and Cooperative Library Agencies), and the Catholic Library Association. It was called Virtual Faiths: Cooperative Digitization Projects http://ala12.scheduler.ala.org/node/931 and included a speaker representing AJL and the JIC, Rebecca Jefferson of the University of Florida. Even given its sparse attendance of maybe 30 people, I believe I saw only one other AJL (Pasadena) Conference Attendee at this special program. And last year, the two conferences were held one right after the other, only a couple of local freeways apart. And the fact that Saturday is a prime day for ALA Annual Conference automatically prevents a number of AJL attendees from taking part in any of the events on that day for obvious religious considerations. They would have to arrive early on Friday, late on Saturday night, or on Sunday to be able to attend sessions on Friday and Sunday. As Shoshanah correctly points out below, since 1995 we have had a number of joint programs with ALA's JIC (and other groups). Even when AJL and ALA met in the same city (and even at a hotel used by both associations; ALA usually needs all the

Re: [ha-Safran] Recommendations for adult congreg-wide read withchildren's book tie-in
Dear Hillary, Why not do something on the Civil War? For children, Yankee at the Seder was a wonderful book with lots to talk about. For adults, March by Geraldine Brooks was outstanding. So was The War Within for young adults/middle grade readers. A nonfiction adult book is American Jewry and the Civil War or Lincoln and the Jews. A personal favorite for adults was All Other Nights by Dara Horn. Susan Dubin Off-the-Shelf Library Services From: Hillary Sent: Thursday, May 24, 2012 9:01 AM To: hasafran@lists.service.ohio-state.edu Subject: [ha-Safran] Recommendations for adult congreg-wide read withchildren's book tie-in All, I am hoping that someone amongst you will be able to provide book recommendations and suggestions for the following: I am trying to plan a synagogue wide read for my congregation and I know that it is usually only the adults and, perhaps, young adults who are encouraged to participate in such events. But I would like to select a book for the adults and then also select a children's book relating to the same theme(s) or, at least, having something in common with the adult selection. That way, when I plan events connected to the book, they will be of interest to everyone. If anyone can recommend an adult and children's book that would go well together, I would greatly appreciate it. Neither book needs to have been recently published.

Like many of you, I must have read his words and marlveled at his illustrations thousands of times in my life. He gifted us with Pierre (A Cautionary Tale), Chicken Soup With Rice, In The Night Kitchen, most famously Where The Wild Things Are, and many others. His work has the power to transport us, to open our minds, and speak to our souls. I hope that the music we played to honor him helps to do the same.

Re: [ha-Safran] Question about posting our catalogue online
Have you looked at OPALS? It is a full library circ and catalog with web posting capabilities. Susan Dubin From: Rachel Fischer Sent: Monday, February 20, 2012 9:36 PM To: hasafran@lists.service.ohio-state.edu Subject: Re: [ha-Safran] Question about posting our catalogue online We started to play around with ours this Sunday. We are going to go with Library Thing. http://www.librarything.com/. The catalog was originally cataloged in ProCite 5. They use the Weine Classification System. From ProCite, you can export a file into a .txt document and then upload it into Library Thing. It costs $25 to add more than 200 records. You pay the fee only once for the whole life of the library. It has the Dewey and Library of Congress Classification numbers already in Library Thing. This is really nice for a synagogue library that hasn't placed classification numbers on the books yet. I discovered a couple problems with using the website. It does not always recognize all of the records that are uploaded. This could be because there is a duplicate record, because the edition is out of print and you have a different ISBN number on the book, the book is extremely rare and not in Library of Congress or amazon.com, or a previous record in Library Thing had too many mistakes. I found a record had previously been entered into Library Thing with the first name and last name reversed, as well as a record with just a last name. So I had to select those to add to the catalog by hand and correct the incorrect records. After uploaded the list, I checked all of the records in Library Thing with those in my files that I uploaded to make all of the corrections needed and add the additional copies that we had to the Library Thing catalog when we had more than one copy of the book. So far we have only uploaded 174 books, which is our Juvenile Fiction section. We have nearly 4000 books. You can see how this has turned out at http://www.librarything.com/catalog/OakParkTemple. Once we have finished we can link to this from the Synagogue's website and announce it in the newsletter. Hopefully that will bring in more attention from the members and more books will be checked out.
