I echo Amalia’s words to Amy and do hope she will consider remaining as a member of AJL as she has amassed a lot of knowledge and experience over the years. And who knows what the future will bring, as you said you fell into your job unexpectedly. Wishing you success in whatever endeavor you choose. Arlene

Amy, I do remember your emails and you will be missed, however, I want you to know that the rate for retires is, I believe, $35. You might consider staying as member and support the organization. Amalia From: amyturim--- via Hasafran<mailto:[email protected]> Sent: Monday, October 11, 2021 12:13 PM To: Hasafran to post<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: [ha-Safran] leaving the AJL universe... Friends – While I’ve met very few of you in person, I nonetheless wanted to thank AJL as a group for the online camaraderie and support I’ve received through HaSafran these many years -- at least 15. My tenure as Librarian at Temple Emanuel, Kensington, MD came to an end this summer -- so I need to let my AJL membership lapse -- and THIS has been a wonderful community. As so many of us do, I fell into my job unexpectedly. No, I’m not a real librarian, but with a background in film archives and preservation, my knowledge of collections management served me well. Much of the rest came from what I picked up on this listserve or what I read in the AJL News and Reviews. I was able to sharpen and adjust my skills to fit the needs of my small synagogue library collection, and soon I was even providing support to others on the list! This is a generous, forward-thinking, open-minded community of knowledgeable men and women, and I will truly miss the little corner of the web-o-sphere. Thank you for the years of standing at my back and providing me with superb institutional and personal support. Stay healthy, everyone – L’hitraot. Amy Turim Temple Emanuel Kensington, MD
