Kugel and Frijoles: Latino Jews in the United States (A Long Island Library Resources Council program) Wednesday, November 10, 2021 11AM PT / 2:00PM ET / 9:00PM Israel Time Kugel and Frijoles: Latino Jews in the United States analyzes the changing construction of race and ethnicity in the United States through the lens of contemporary Jewish immigrants from Latin America. Since Latino Jews are not easily classified within the U.S. racial and ethnic schema, their ethnic identity and group affiliation challenge existing paradigms. Join author Laura Limonic, Assistant Professor of Sociology at the College of Old Westbury of the State University of New York, for this important discussion. This program is presented by the Long Island Library Resources Council, which is offering complimentary registration for AJL members.

Explore various programming and outreach ideas that can connect the entire synagogue community to the library and learn how to partner with other synagogue professionals and lay leaders to expand the library’s reach and relevance. We’ll learn together from our past successes and failures, brainstorm ways to strengthen our existing efforts, and develop innovative and engaging new initiatives. Members and nonmembers welcome. RAS Roundtable: Digital Humanities Clinic #3 Thursday, November 18, 2021 9:30AM PT / 12:30PM ET / 7:30PM Israel Time During this workshop, AJL’s Michelle Margolis Chesner will discuss the project “Footprints: Jewish Books Through Time and Place,” a database to track the circulation of printed “Jewish books.” Footprints connects pieces of information about the movement of early printed books to each other in order to build up a composite view of the movement of Jewish texts and ideas from place to place and across time. Workshop participants will have the chance to learn about the conceptual and methodological development of the project, and discuss with the presenter. This roundtable is sponsored by AJL’s RAS Division and all members are welcome. Members only. RAS Cataloging Forum: The LC classifications of BM vs. KBM Tuesday, November 23, 2021 9:30AM PT / 12:30PM ET / 7:30PM Israel Time Cataloging law and law related material can be challenging, even more so when the topics are marriage, divorce, and dinai mamanot (Jewish financial law). Does the cataloger classify Jewish marriage under BM713 or KBM546.13; would Jewish divorce be classed under BM713.5 or KBM562.3; would a book on Jewish financial law be classed under BM509.E27 or KBM639? What is the difference between BM and KBM? This forum, led by Aaron Kuperman, will help provide working knowledge of the two classes. This forum is sponsored by AJL’s RAS Cataloging Committee and all members are welcome. Members only.
