Subject: [ha-Safran]: Jacob's Ladder: Kabbalistic 
Allegory in Russian Literature



Dear Friends,

Academic Studies Press is pleased to announce the 
publication of Marina Aptekman's newest title, 
Jacob's Ladder: Kabbalistic Allegory in Russian Literature.


Jacob's Ladder: Kabbalistic Allegory in Russian Literature.
by Marina Aptekman
ISBN 978-1-934843-38-3
250 pp. cloth
$70.00

Publication Date: June, 2011

Focusing primarily on the close study of literary 
works presented in the broad cultural and 
historical context, Jacob’s Ladderdiscusses the 
reflection of kabbalistic allegory in Russian 
literature and provides a detailed analysis of 
the evolution of the perception of Kabbalah in 
Russian consciousness. Aptekman investigates the 
questions of when, how and why Kabbalah has been 
used in Russian literary texts from 
Pre-Romanticism to Modernism and what particular 
role it played in the larger context of the 
Russian literary tradition. The correct 
understanding of this liaison helps the reader to 
clarify many enigmatic images in Russian literary 
works of the last two centuries and to understand 
the roots of a particular cultural falsification 
that played an important role in the anti-Semitic 
mythology of the twentieth century.


Reviews:

Marina Aptekman makes skillful use of rich and 
diverse source materials, some new and others 
interpreted in an original and innovative way. 
This is an important and thought-provoking 
contribution to the field of Russian-Jewish cultural relations.
­Mikhail Krutikov, associate professor of Slavic 
Languages and Literature, University of Michigan


“This book is a fascinating study of a largely 
unexplored subject--the role of Kabbalah in 
Russian literature from the mid 17th to the 20th 
century and the larger context in which 
literature developed. Focusing on images and 
allegories that derive, directly and indirectly, 
from Kabbalah, Aptekman shows how and why lt 
became an important element in mystical 
freemasonry, romanticism, and modernism. In 
addition, she limns the alternation between 
mystical and magical (or occult) interpretations 
of kabbalah and reveals how the occult 
interpretation came to be associated with black 
magic and, eventually, with the myth of a Judaeo-Masonic conspiracy.”

­Bernice Glatzer Rosenthal, professor of History, Fordham University

I want to add my thanks to Marsha, Chaya, Eva, and all of the other 
wonderful Montreal librarians and volunteers who planned such a 
wonderful convention for us! Sessions, meals, hotel, visits off-site 
of the hotel, and even the weather were all fantastic. I learned a 
lot and enjoyed catching up with friends old and new. Kol ha-kavod,

[ha-Safran]: English language libraries in Jerusalem

2011-06-28 Thread Abigail Yasgur
Friends of libraries, Anglo-in Jerusalem:

I received several responses regarding my previous question, posted 
on the Judaic librarian listserv, HASAFRAN, about English language 
libraries for the Anglo community in Jerusalem.
I am wondering if those who are interested would want to meet for a 
conversation about this on Friday morning/early afternoon on July 
29th around to talk libraries? (Exact time and place to be determined)

? Would it be worthwhile to talk about a project devoted to 
increasing visibility, use, services and resources for the English 
speaking community ?  What are your thoughts and ideas?

Please share this email with others who have a strong value about 
libraries and who may want to be a part of the conversation.

Abigail Yasgur
