Re: [ha-Safran]: Judaica Library or Judaic Library?
Dear Daniel You called in the grammar police?? Almost any noun in English may be turned into an adjective without any change of form; as in an OAK fence, a MANCHESTER man, a KITCHEN garden, DICTIONARY definitions. So also with Judaica and so also (if I may) with grammar!!

RE: [ha-Safran]: Jews buying books
If you are referring to American Jews - I don't have an answer. If you are referring to Jews in general, you should consult the Israeli Government Statistics Annual about book buying in Israel. I seem to remember that the number of books per capita purchased by israeli Jews are among the highest in the world.

RE: [ha-Safran]: Planning a course for Young Adults
Anne Have you investigated what CAJE has in their Curriculum bank? If you are not familiar with CAJE (the Coalition for the Advancement of Jewish Education, www.caje.org), perhaps someone else at your school is. I believe you need to be a member to access the Curriculum bank, but they have quite a collection and it might be worth it to you and your school to look at what they have. Regards, Annette.

[ha-Safran]: NEW BOOK: My Yeshiva College: 75 Years of Memories
Dear Safranim: I am pleased to announce the publication of My Yeshiva College: 75 Years of Memories, a collection of essays that I have recently co-edited celebrating the past seventy-years of Yeshiva College, written from the perspective of former students and faculty members-many of whom still teach at and are involved with Yeshiva today. The book is an important contribution to the literature about Judaism in the 20th century and gives a real feel for how Yeshiva College has impacted its students and the broader American community. The volume follows the course of Yeshiva College's history, beginning with the nascent years under founder and first president Rabbi Dr. Bernard Revel, into the years of rapid growth under Rabbi Dr. Samuel Belkin, and into the last two and half decades of leadership under Rabbi Dr. Norman Lamm. My Yeshiva College: 75 Years of Memories includes autobiographical memoirs by some of Yeshiva College's most prominent graduates and faculty members, including Ruth A. Bevan, Michael J. Broyde, Hillel Furstenberg, Irving Greenberg, Lawrence Grossman, Joan G. Haahr, Nathaniel Helfgot, Jerry Hochbaum, Nathan Kamenetsky, Barry J. Konovitch, Eugene Korn, Norman Lamm, B. Barry Levy, Aharon Lichtenstein, Moses Mescheloff, Yehudah Mirsky, Emanuel Rackman, Aaron Rakeffet-Rothkoff, Marvin Schick, Alvin Schiff, Abraham D. Sofaer, Fred Sommers, Chaim I. Waxman, Leon Wildes, Efraim Zuroff and dozens of others! The book includes an introduction by President Richard Joel of Yeshiva University, an afterword Dr. Jonathan Sarna of Brandeis University and appendix by Dr. Chaim Waxman of Rutgers University. The back cover includes a never-before-published passage from Mr. Herman Wouk, Pulitzer Prize winner and a professor at Yeshiva College during the mid-1950s. The publisher advises that the books can be bought from local bookstores, Baker Taylor, and YasharBooks.com (ISBN 1-933143-12-6).

RE: [ha-Safran]: Jews buying books
I was dismayed when I read the first posting - I thought there was an error. Some 40 years ago, Commentary magazine, I believe, ran a profile of American Jewry, and one of the stats cited then was that Jews accounted for some 20% of the books bought in the U.S. Not bad for 3% of the total population. What did they base this on? Perhaps on some study done by the American Jewish Committee? That was then. I have no idea what the number would be today.

Re: [ha-Safran]: Judaica Library or Judaic Library?
While I have great respect for the dangerous work our grammar police have performed thus far on this topic, I feel I must highlight a more important point. The fact that the library's signage, publicity, and barcodes would all have to be changed, I would vote for retaining the existing name on that ground alone.
