Re: [ha-Safran]: Damaged books
Susan Ellman asked about restoring books that had been showered a while ago by a bowl of flying honey nut cheerios and milk and are now not only ?? but stuck together'. In my experience, the cost of doing something to correct the results of the shower will far exceed the cost of straight replacement. Good luck, Bernard.

Bibel of the Oakland Public Library in Oakland, CA recommends The Jewish Bible: A JPS Guide as a valuable resource for anyone engaged in Bible study. The review, from the February/March 2009 issue of the AJL Newsletter, states: JPS assembled a group of eminent scholars as well as educators and librarians to create a guidebook that covers everything from the origins of the Bible to methods of study and commentaries. The book includes information about the history of the Bible, the Torah scrolls, Bible translations, and the question of gender when translating. It also discusses law, poetry, prophecy and storytelling Commentaries and famous commentators, midrash and summaries of the books of the Bible appear, often beautifully illustrated with photographs from rare books. She also mentions the charts, glossaries, maps, bibliography, list of recommended books and Web sites provided to further aid students. She adds: This is an excellent book for school, synagogue, and public libraries. Both students and teachers will want personal copies as well.

RE: [ha-Safran]: Mysteries?
Barbara, These two recently published books come to mind as Jewish-related mysteries: Yellin, Tamar, The Genizah at the House of Shepher Rozan's Shanghai Moon The first would interest those with patience for a literary novel. The latter is more main-stream mystery, set partly in Shanghai when some Jews fled there to escape Hitler's advance. Our synagogue library tries to appea to readers with a range of interests.

RE: [ha-Safran]: Seeing a list of past book reviews
My computer died and this is the first time I've been reading or writing email messages in quite a while. I'm not sure of the origins of the discussion about access to AJL Newsletter book reviews that was summarized by Suzi Dublin in her HaSafran message of April 21, but I want to chime in and say how important I think it is for there to be online access to AJL Newsletter reviews. My concern for years has been that our reviews reach a very limited audience and not the wider world of book selectors who could certainly use a Jewish perspective on Jewish books. For example, the large public library database that I use most frequently (Clevnet) has a feature in its catalog called Online Extras. It consists of published reviews from SLJ, Booklist, etc. As we know, those are not always the best sources of reviews of Jewish children's books and they are sometimes misleading. Each time I read one, I wish that the AJL Newsletter review was also available. In researching books of Jewish content, I often use Novelist, one of hundreds of databases available through Clevnet. Again, reviews from secular media are in it but never reviews from the Jewish media. Moreover, some important Jewish books are not included and other rather poor ones are. This, I'm pretty sure, is a result of the available reviews. If AJL Newsletter reviews were available online, they would be accessible to database searchers and could be more easily included in some of the big, popular databases like Novelist. It is worth noting that AJL Newsletter reviews of books for children and teens are included in the Children's Literature Comprehensive Database (CLCD) and have been for about five years. CLCD is a subscription service so its contents are limited to those who pay the yearly fee or, like some AJL members, have it waived. Recently, I suggested to the Newsletter editors that they look into posting Newsletter reviews on Amazon. This seems like a good way to make them available to the wider public but someone in AJL would have to be responsible for finding out if and how it could be accomplished. Regarding the questions in Suzi's messages from AJL Council: 1) Which reviews do we make public? Why not all of them? How else would one choose? Certainly not just the reviews that are positive. Negative reviews are very important as well. 2) How far back do we go? Start with the current and work backwards as time allows. 3) Password protection for current reviews: Not necessary IMHO. How many people join AJL just for access to Newsletter reviews? To add one more thought to the mix, why not consider publishing the entire Newsletter online? Do we really need to have it in print anymore? This seems like something that the Newsletter editors and AJL's Publications VP among others should be involved in researching and presenting as a recommendation to Council.

[ha-Safran]: Encyclopedia of Jewish-American Literature
I was just sent this reference book for review: Encyclopedia of Jewish American Literature by Gloria L. Cronin and Alan L. Berger, which is part of the Encyclopedia of American Ethnic Literature, published by Facts on File. It is a rather curious collection of short articles in alphabetical order by both writer's name and title of work, such as; The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay comes after the entry for Woody Allen. But they have included a number of authors who may have been Jewish, but have not made the Jewish experience a basis for their work. At least I would imagine that to be the case for Isaac Asimov or Erica Jong. And, I would never consider putting Dorothy Parker or J.D. Salinger as typical inclusions in this type of anthology. And, is John Irving even Jewish? Or should Sholem Aleichem even be considered American? So, this is just a heads-up for those thinking they may purchase this book. I also don't feel the articles are necessarily written by scholars who are experts in the field, to say the least.

It has become an accepted truth: after World War II, American
Jews chose to be silent about the mass murder of millions of their
European brothers and sisters at the hands of the Nazis. Whether
motivated by fear, shame, or the desire to assimilate, the Jewish
community in the United States simply did not memorialize the
Holocaust until the Eichmann trial and the 1967 Arab-Israeli War made
it socially acceptable for them to do so.
Hasia R. Diner's new book shows this assumption of silence to
be categorically false.
Uncovering a rich and incredibly varied trove of
remembrancesin song, literature, liturgy, public display, political
activism, and hundreds of other formsWe Remember with Reverence and
Love shows that publicly memorializing those who died in the
Holocaust arose from a deep and powerful element of Jewish life in
postwar America. Not only does she marshal enough evidence to
dismantle the idea of American Jewish forgetfulness, she brings to
life the moving and manifold ways that this widely diverse group paid
tribute to the tragedy.
Note: Prof. Diner made use of diverse resources at
Tamimenet/Wagner, including the archival collections of the Jewish
Labor Committee, and related collections of Julius Bernstein, Edward
Goldstein, Isaiah Minkoff and Jacob Pat.*
Her work revealed a wonderfully rich and incredibly varied
trove of remembrances in song, literature, liturgy, public display,
and hundreds of other forms that show that publicly memorializing
those who died in the Holocaust was a deep and powerful element of
Jewish life in postwar America. Not only does she marshal enough
evidence to utterly destroy the idea of American Jewish
forgetfulness, she brings to life the moving and manifold ways that
this widely diverse group paid tribute to the tragedy.
Diner also offers a compelling new perspective on the 1960s and
its potent legacy, by revealing how our typical understanding of the
postwar years emerged from the cauldron of cultural divisions and
campus battles a generation later. The student activists and new
Jews of the 1960s who, in rebelling against the American Jewish
world they had grown up ina world of remarkable affluence and
broadening cultural possibilitiescreated a flawed portrait of what
their parents had, or rather, had not, done in the postwar years.
This distorted legacy has been transformed by two generations of
scholars, writers, rabbis, and Jewish community leaders into a
taken-for-granted truth.
