Hi Dina, because Hebrew dates can span either side of the Gregorian year (i.e.,
a book published in Tishre of 762 would be 2001, but a book publish Iyar 762
would be 2002) the date would be transcribed 762 [2001 or 2002]. However, if
there is more information to be found on either the t.p./t.p. verso or in an
introduction/approbation that provides more information (e.g. a month or,
sometimes, the name of the Torah portion read that week), the date could be
pinpointed to the specific year. E.g., if the t.p. says Tishre 762, you could
put 2001 in the 300 $c. As for the dates in the fixed field, you would code
for a single date (DtSt s) and the earlier of the two years, i.e. a 762 [2001
or 2002] in the 300 $c would be coded 2001.
For more information see section 1.4F in Paul Maher's Hebraica Cataloging
Manual, online at
https://lib.stanford.edu/files/Hebraica_Cat_Manual_Feb_2006_Draft.pdf (p. 33 of
the PDF, p. 27 of the scanned text).
Good luck and have fun! Jasmin

Hi Everyone,
I'm working on a project at the National Archives and we're in the process of
cataloging books with Hebrew dates (i.e., 5772).
Is there a standard way (or accepted way) to list the date, since it crosses
both 2011 and 2012? Do people:
a) Write the Hebrew date only (5772)
b) Do a range (2011-2012)
c) Pick a Gregorian date (2011 OR 2012)
d) Some combination of the three OR something completely different.
Many thanks!
Dina Herbert

My Temple's book group has been doing a lot of reading about Jews
outside the Ashkenazi experience. Here are some titles off the top of
my head:
My Father's Paradise (Kurdish Iraq)
The Man in the White Sharkskin Suit (Cairo)
Dropped from Heaven (India)
A Conspiracy of Paper (Sephardi English)
The Jewish Husband (Italy)
The Ministry of Special Cases (Argentina)
Wolfy and the Strudelbakers (Holocaust refugees in England)
Jewish Gauchos of the Pampas (Argentina)
On my own I read and recommend:
Out of Egypt
Septembers of Shiraz

It's been a while since I've read it, but how about "Davita's Harp", by
Chaim Potok? It opened some different sides of Judaism to me, and I
still find myself thinking about some aspects of it.

Subject: [ha-Safran] Literary suggestions?
Hi Everyone,
Chag Sameach! For the past 5 years, our institution has been organizing
"Let's Talk about it"--Jewish Literature readings and discussions
focusing on various themes. For example, this year's theme has been
Fathers and Daughters in a Changing World and the five books we are
reading are: Tevye the Dairiyman (Sholem Aleichem), Bread Givers
(Yezierska), 1185 Park Avenue: A Memoir (Roiphe), American Pastoral
(Roth), and Bee Season (Goldberg).
I am writing to ask your collective wisdom about suggestions for other
Jewish literary themes and some titles of books, especially novels that
spotlight the theme and that you consider good reading. One theme we
are seriously considering is the theme of "Jews from other lands."
Any suggestions you offer are greatly appreciated. All the Best, Rose
