[ha-Safran]: Donation of Jewish Books
Hello, My congregation in Washington D.C. has come across an anonymous donation of some Jewish books that we would like to find homes for in libraries where they will be read and appreciated. We were hoping to find some universities with Jewish study programs. We have 10 copies of Judaism in a Secular Age and 20 copies of A life of Courage. It would be great if you could contact some members on your list serve to see if anyone is interested.

Re: [ha-Safran]: OPALS Library Catalog
Hi Anna, I have also been concerned with the inability to set up cross references in OPALS. I know they are always working on enhancements to the system. I'm cc'ing Harry Chan (founder and CEO of OPALS) to remind him of the importance of this issue.

[ha-Safran]: Book announcement The Blood Lie
I offered to forward this to hasafran. This is not a review, on my part, as I have not read it, yet. But, it looked of interest to AJL folks. Ann Abrams, Librarian Temple Israel, Boston Dear Ann, I'm writing to follow up on our correspondence from February about my new young-adult book, The Blood Lie (Cinco Puntos Press). This novel is based on a real blood libel that happened in Upstate New York in 1928. A small girl disappeared just before Yom Kippur, and the local Jews were accused of murdering her and baking her blood in their holiday foods. The blood libel happened in my hometown when my father was growing up there, so I was able to draw from first-hand accounts. I wanted to let you know that The Blood Lie is now available for order. I hope you'll consider making it an addition to the Temple Israel library. The study guide for The Blood Lie can be found online at bloodlibel.org. The book itself is available through Amazon, IndieBound and other major sites. Thanks so much, and please feel free to contact me with any questions. Hope you're having a great summer.
