Accessible and free to Internet users all over the world, the Encyclopedia appeals to a wide range of readers, including educators, activists, high school students, researchers, scholars, and the merely curious.

More information about the movie is in the article below. Best wishes, Richard (Schwartz) president, JVNA NEW DOCUMENTARY APPLIES JEWISH VALUES TO ENVIRONMENTAL, HEALTH, HUMANE ISSUES Richard H. Schwartz Because the world is heading rapidly toward an unprecedented catastrophe from global warming and other environmental threats, Jewish Vegetarians of North America (JVNA) has produced a documentary, A SACRED DUTY: APPLYING JEWISH VALUES TO HELP HEAL THE WORLD, to address these threats from a positive Jewish perspective. JVNA will send a free copy to anyone who will help arrange a screening or help promote the movie in some other way. Almost daily there are reports of severe droughts, floods, storms or wildfires, of the melting of glaciers and polar icecaps and other indicators of global warming. It is frightening that, while these effects are due to an increase in temperature of less than 1.5 degrees Fahrenheit in the past 100 years, the Nobel Prize-winning Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, a group composed of hundreds of the world's climate scientists, is projecting an increase of 3 to 11 degrees Fahrenheit in the next 100 years. Even more ominous is that some climate scientists, including James Hansen of NASA, are warning that global warming may reach a tipping point and spiral out of control within a decade, with disastrous consequences, unless major changes are soon made. Israel is especially vulnerable to global climate change, in terms of reduced rainfall, severe storms and flooding from a rising Mediterranean Sea. A SACRED DUTY is a Jewish response to these realities. It reminds us that it is our sacred duty to become aware of current threats and our responsibility to apply Jewish teachings to how we obtain our food, use natural resources, and live among other creatures whom God created. It offers simple, practical measures for reducing our impact on the planet, including an inconvenient truth that even Al Gore has not yet acknowledged. Produced by the highly acclaimed, multi-award-winning film maker, Lionel Friedberg, A SACRED DUTY reinforces the messages in Al Gore's AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH and Leonardo di Caprio's, THE ELEVENTH HOUR about the dangers of global warming. However, it goes beyond these films, by showing how religious responses can make a major difference and why a shift toward plant-based diets is an essential part of efforts to reduce global climate change and other environmental threats. It also challenges people to consider the many moral issues related to our diets, including Torah teachings on how animals are treated on factory farms and the effects on human health and the environment. Although it is primarily intended for a Jewish audience, A SACRED DUTY speaks to people everywhere about the ethics of our relationship to the natural world in which we live. The movie's universal message will appeal to anyone interested in such topics as biblical teachings, Israel, the environment, health, nutrition, vegetarianism, hunger and resource usage. The movie may be said to be like Levy's Jewish Rye bread - you do not have to be Jewish to appreciate it. The documentary features interviews with leading Israeli and American environmental, health, vegetarian and animal rights activists as well as Orthodox, Conservative, Reform, Reconstructionist and secular leaders. Interviewees include: Rabbi Shear Yashuv Cohen, Ashkenazic Chief Rabbi of Haifa; Rabbi David Rosen, Former Chief Rabbi of Ireland and International Director of Interreligious Affairs of the American Jewish Committee; Dr. Yeshayahu Bar-Or, Chief Scientist: Israel Environmental Ministry and many other rabbis and Jewish leaders and activists. Biblical passages are read by the acclaimed Jewish star of Broadway and screen Theodore Bikel A SACRED DUTY and the many activities being planned around it have the potential to help move our imperiled world toward a sustainable path. But only if the movie is widely viewed and discussed. So, please order your FREE copy and please consider taking one or more of the following actions after viewing the movie: have viewings for family, neighbors and friends; try to schedule showings
[ha-Safran]: K- 3 recommendation for Pesach
I just bought a worthwhile book on Pesach published by National Geographic: Celebrate Passover, by Deborah Heiligman and consultant Rabbi Shira Stern. The book has large, colorful photographs of children around the world observing Pesach. It features medium sized font in informative text appropriate for children through about 3rd grade. On the same pages, large green font relates simple concepts to photographs, making it equally useful for the very young children to whom I also give library lessons, ie.: We search for crumbs. We think of those who are hungry. Etc. This might sound cluttered, but it isn' t . I' m happy with this book.

[ha-Safran]: New High School library premises
Dear all, Subject: [ha-Safran]: New High School library premises - any tips on furniture/design/lighting of the library? Our small American/Orthodox Jewish school is going to expand next year. We will have our first G9 class, and our present G6 G8 will move with this new class to new premises. At the moment we have only an empty room, so we have an opportunity to have a purpose built library! Could anyone please give me any tips, or pitfalls regarding the design of our library? There must be so many things to consider . . . I remember I even glanced at an email (I'm not sure if it was from Hasafran) regarding the standard dimensions of the circulation desk! (I'm guess mine is far short of what it should be!). I and our new High School Principal would be grateful for any assistance you can give us. Thank you for your help.

[ha-Safran]: For Sale: Adiel by Shlomo DuNour
We offer copies of this title for $6.00 postpaid in the US, $16.00 postpaid outside the US. Winner of the 1999 JERUSALEM PRIZE FOR LITERATURE Adiel is a re-telling of the Old Testament story of the Bible, from the Creation of Adam and Eve through the ten generations that culminates with Noah and the Flood. It is told through the observations of Adiel, an angel, appointed by God and the Archangel Michael, whose responsibility it is to record the events of Man--a sort of protective angel of history. Utilizing the ancient forms of Midrash, the Jewish term for literary and creative Biblical exposition, it is a reflection on the place of man in the universe, and on good and evil.The angel Adiel is chosen to witness the tragedies of the ten generations of man.
