[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.

Dear safranim, I thought I'd hyperlinked the word books to give away blog in my last posting, below, but I guess it doesn't transfer, for hasafran. Some of you have asked for the URL, so here it is: http://sefarimlatetlesifriyot.blogspot.com/ Thank you for the replies on the topic of what to do with old books, which I know has been covered before, but you never know when new ideas will pop up! As requested, I've compiled the responses I received, below. On a slightly different note: I've created a Books to give away blog: with lists of books recently donated to us which we don't need for our collection.

Dear safranim, For those of you in synagogue and center libraries, what do you do with really old books? I don't mean items that might be determined to be rare books; I mean, books on Jewish subjects that were written in the mid-late 1800's and early 1900's, that could be purchased online for $5-$25, and that, when searched on Worldcat., are in most university and Jewish research libraries. Any suggestions would be helpful.

This exhibit is co-organized by the Skirball Cultural Center (Los Angeles, CA) and The Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art, featuring more than 100 original works of art, texts, and related objects from time-honored classics and popular favorites. Featured authors and artists include Eric Carle, Daniel Pinkwater, Maurice Sendak, Margot Zemach, Mark Podwal, Francine Prose, Lemony Snicket, Art Spiegelman, and William Steig. With historical examples dating as early as the twelfth century, Monsters and Miracles also encompasses the work of luminaries Isaac Bashevis Singer, Marc Chagall, and El Lissitzky. Monsters and Miracles investigates the significant contributions that Jewish art and storytelling have made to children's literature, tracing the development of the Jewish picture book from its early cultural roots to its contemporary innovations. The works represent an array of artistic media, including paintings, drawings, computer-generated images, paper cuts, collages, as well as lavishly illustrated Hebrew manuscripts. While texts are mainly in English, there are also works in Hebrew, Yiddish, and Portuguese. Children and adults alike will delight as they revisit their favorite stories and encounter new authors and illustrators. In addition to the artworks on display, the exhibition programming includes a presentation by co-curators Neal Sokol and Ilan Stavans, a presentation by Mark Podwal, and a latke breakfast with Lisa Brown. See both the Carle website (www.carlemuseum.org) and the Yiddish Book Center website (www.yiddishbookcenter.org) for a complete list of programming. Programming is also included at the end of this release. As with all exhibitions, the books featured in the exhibition will be available for families to read and enjoy. Additionally, from December 8 through January 18, The Eric Carle Museum's Art Studio will offer Monster Mock-Up, where guests can create their own monsters inspired by what they see in the galleries, including William Steig's Shrek! and Maurice Sendak's Where the Wild Things Are. These complimentary hands-on activities will further expand the visitor experience. .The evolution of the picture book in Jewish history is a fascinating story,. said Carle Museum Executive Director Alexandra Kennedy. .The art of storytelling is deeply embedded in Jewish tradition and we are pleased to work with the Skirball Cultural Center and Yiddish Book Center to bring this important exhibition to both coasts.. Exhibition Overview Organized into six sections, Monsters and Miracles addresses several storytelling motifs. The exhibition opens with a number of lavishly illuminated Haggadoth dating back to the eighteenth century. Throughout Jewish history, these illustrated liturgical volumes have been used to recount the Exodus story at the Passover Seder, serving

Dear fellow users of Follet products Spectrum, Info-Center and Athena, To review: This user group is made up of AJL libraries using the above-mentioned products. The group coordinator (currently me) does the work of collecting the checks, and sends them to Follett by January 1st, and then Follett gives each instution a 15% discount on the annual maintenance fee. I took over coordinating this group a year ago, from Helene Tuchman, who created the group many years ago, and continued to coordinate it for a few years, after she retired. I'm now looking to see if someone from among you would be willing to take over this task. If not, I'll have to disband the group. You would still have your Follett maintenance plan - but without the discount. My colleague, Marie Cloutier, and I, worked hard last year to create a spreadsheet that is in very good shape. We would be happy to hand this spreadsheet over to whoever would be willing to take over as coordinator. Please reply just to me.

[ha-Safran]: Birthday of Fanny Goldstein, May 15
Thought this would interest the AJL community: Here's the beginning: Born on May 15, 1895 [some sources say 1888], Fanny Goldstein devoted her life to books and community. She was the first female Judaica librarian and the first woman to direct a branch library in Massachusetts, where she was head of Boston's West End Branch for many years. A prominent figure in the Boston Jewish community, she is best known as the founder of Jewish Book Week, which began when Goldstein organized a display of Jewish books at the Boston Public Library in 1925.

[ha-Safran]: Donations
Dear Jenny, Ask people to stop sending their books, sit down with your committee, and map out a collections developoment policy. If folks still send books ( and they will) box them, and don't look at them until you're done setting up your infrastructure with lots of clear policies that you can refer to and hold up to others. FYI, if people are desparate to send books somewhere, NOW, refer them to local charities, thrift shops, used books stores, etc. Or, if they're willing to pay the postage: In Seattle, WA, there is a Jewish Prisoners project. Contact Chaplain Gary Friedman. [EMAIL PROTECTED] . There's someone in China who posted to hasafran awhile ago, collecting books for Judaic studies programs: [EMAIL PROTECTED] And, tell your congregants if they REALLY want to be helpful to your new library, they'll type up an author/title list of what they'd like to donate to you, and send you the list by email. Then, you can tell them what from their list would be useful for the collection. But tell them, too, that you first need to get your systems in place before you can deal with receiving donations of books. If you'd like to see a sample of a gifts policy, visit our website: http://www.tisrael.org/study/library.php?page=467 Good luck!

[ha-Safran]: Query from Canadian Picture Book Writer
Dear Lesley, This one came to my mind, re: your first question: Terrible, terrible! Bernstein, Robin. Kar-Ben Copies, c1998 A contemporary retelling of the folk tale, It could always be worse. From School Library Journal K-Gr 4--A modern-day version of a traditional Jewish folktale. When Abigail's mother marries a man with four children, the girl finds her new home far too crowded and chaotic and seeks help from the rabbi. The woman advises her to bring even more into the tiny house (bicycles, pets, dozens of cousins), creating situations that are increasingly terrible, terrible, worse than before! Brightly hued, cartoon illustrations nicely convey the sense of chaos, with objects, animals, and family members practically spilling off of the pages. However, the characterizations are weak, particularly those of the four stepsiblings, who remain nameless and voiceless, seeming to accept the drastic changes in their household with little more than a grimace. A timely premise in this age of blended families, this book is not as much fun as other standard versions of this story, such as Ann McGovern's Too Much Noise (Houghton, 1967).

New book by Boston area author about religion and friendship
Dear safranim, Below is an announcement by a Boston area author and his NY area co-author who will at my synagogue's book fair this year. I thought it might be of interest to you. Here's their blog: http://www.thefaithbetweenus.com/http://www.thefaithbetweenus.com/ Ann Abrams, Librarian Temple Israel, Boston FROM AUTHOR PETER BEBERGAL: My book, The Faith Between Us, co-authored with Scott Korb, with a foreword by Freakonomics author Stephen J. Dubner, is available now from Bloomsbury. The book tells two distinct but interrelated religious stories both towards and away from faith. Filled with stories of my struggles with Judaism and Scott's Catholic religious struggles, Faith tells the story of a faithful friendship above and beyond tradition, and even belief. (Please some advance reviews below.) We'd love to send a copy of the book to your library for you to read and pass around, and if you think you might like to have a book discussion when Faith comes out in the fall, or possibly plan an event with us, we'd be delighted. Best wishes and thanks for your consideration. I hope to hear from you. Peter Bebergal 617-864-8393 http://www.amazon.com/Faith-Between-Us-Catholic-Meaning/dp/1596911433The Faith Between Us: A Jew and a Catholic Search for the Meaning of God Publishers Weekly starred review: What's the saying? Never discuss sex, God or politics if you want to keep your friends? In this particular case, the questions of faith and God are actually what brought Bebergal and Korb together, initially through a correspondence related to their writings for various online magazines. Faith was not something either particularly discussed with their other friends, even though both hold advanced degrees in religion. Like a conversation that continues all night into the early light of dawn, this collection of stories is filled with the deepest of personal feelings and confessions as well as the mundane details of everyday life. The formatthe telling of a story by one, followed by a reflective epilogue by the otherhighlights not only the seamlessness of their dialogue, but the depth of their friendship and understanding of each other. No topic is taboo; amid their questioning of faith and God come tales of addiction, neuroses and ineptitude. These thirty-somethings are as diverse as their upbringings, yet between them they represent a little bit of all of us in this thoughtful, engaging debate about the virtues of faith and the existence of God. A magical conceit, a true dialogue between friends on a subject that dearly needs to be talked about. -- Stephen J. Dubner, coauthor of Freakonomics When was the last time two men sat down and wrote about their friendship? This is a beautiful book - frank, open, searching. It is, to be sure, a 'religious' book, but its great virtue is that it erases the quotation marks around that word and makes religious insight and longing seem, like friendship, a natural part of the world. -- Jonathan Rosen, author of Joy Comes in the Morning This is the book for this moment. In an era of rigid (and false) dichotomies -- when one is told to be either a blind believer or a dogmatic atheist -- Bebergal and Korb offer a third way, the path of respect, of common sense, of dialogue rather than doctrine. There are fewer hot topics today than religion, and this book provides an accessible, heartfelt, compelling, and ultimately inspiring message that will speak to many of us, religionists and secularists alike. --Niles Elliot Goldstein, author of Gonzo Judaism and founding rabbi of the New Shul in Manhattan Messages and opinions expressed on Hasafran are those of the individual author and are not necessarily endorsed by the Association of Jewish Libraries (AJL) === Submissions for Ha-Safran, send to: Hasafran @ lists.acs.ohio-state.edu SUBscribing, SIGNOFF commands send to: Listproc @ lists.acs.ohio-state.edu Questions, problems, complaints, compliments;-) send to: galron.1 @ osu.edu Ha-Safran Archives: Current: http://www.mail-archive.com/hasafran%40lists.acs.ohio-state.edu/maillist.html History: http://www.mail-archive.com/hasafran%40lists.acs.ohio-state.edu/history.html AJL HomePage http://www.JewishLibraries.org
[ha-Safran]: Tribute to Helene Tuchman
Provide yourself a teacher and acquire yourself a friend. Mentor: Someone whose hindsight can become your foresight. * On the eve of the first game of baseball's World Series (Go, Boston Red Sox!) I would like to pay tribute to someone who, if we had a Library World Series, would definitely be in the starting line- up, and would be a serious candidate for the MVP (Most Valuable Player) award. Helene Tuchman, long-time AJL member, retired this past Spring from her position as Librarian of the Rabbi Marshall R. Lifson Library at Temple Emanuel, Newton, MA. Before those fourteen years at Temple Emanuel, she was the Director of the Watertown, MA public library, Librarian of Congregation Mishkan Tefila, Chestnut Hill, MA, and, Librarian at the NY Public Library in the Bronx in all, 45 years of enriching the library profession. In May of this year, Temple Emanuel paid tribute to Helene as part of a lovely Shabbat morning service that several of us from the New England Chapter (NEAJL) attended. Given Helene's many years of participation in AJL, I would like to engage in what I like to call lashon ha-tov speaking well of someone - in celebration and appreciation of her. IN HONOR OF HELENE You know how sometimes you don't know enough about something to even look into it? Helene has helped me, and many of us in New England and beyond, in this area. Long before the Internet, Helene told me about the Boston Regional Library network, something I knew nothing about.This has clearly been the gift that keeps on giving, with free access to several databases, not to mention hundreds of colleagues all over Greater Boston and beyond. Several weeks ago I was notified by this network about a literary database that my patrons were entitled to use. I forwarded info about this resource to our clergy and staff, and one of the clergy responded with, This is fantastic! Thanks, Helene, for helping me to look good at my job! You know how you're always looking for ways to economize, but, you really think there's nothing else you can possibly do? Several years ago, Helene started a user group for those of us subscribing to software from the same company (Follet, previously Sagebrush, before that - Winnebago). This group began locally and Helene gradually expanded it beyond New England, with all of its members paying a discounted annual support fee. Thanks, Helene, for saving my institution money! (Which also makes me look good, btw** ) You know how sometimes you have sensitive situations with co-workers or colleagues, and you need someone, who you completely trust, to chat with about it? Thanks, Helene, for lending an ear on many occasions, and helping me sort through and defuse some potentially sticky situations! And, you know how, when you're planning a convention, you need to have on your committee people with experience, intelligence, and, most importantly, a good relationship with the local kosher caterer? Thanks, Helene, for making sure we all ate very well in Cambridge at the 2006 convention! I could go on and on, as I'm sure many of you could. And, I know Helene has not retired from AJL (she is still running the Jewish Libraries Follet User Group) and I'm sure she will continue to help out in many other ways. So, on behalf of all of us, particularly in NEAJL, but I will presume to speak for all of AJL : For all that has been, and in anticipation of what will be: THANKS, HELENE!

Our museum committee wants to list the provenance of this piece before putting it on display, and they've asked for my help. They have a photocopy of a photograph from a book, which I can send you, showing the stained glass images. The stained glass images have words in Hebrew only, and images relating to the three festivals (Pesach, Shavuot, Sukkot). The donor's mother died 2 years ago, and the daughter does not know what book the photo was from. All she knows is that her mother started working on the needlepoint in 1970, and finished it in 1995; and that the windows were in a synaogue in either Jerusalem or Haifa. If you think you can help me with this, I'll be very appreciative.

Dear safranim, I manage our synagogue's digital photo collection. Our current system is that I download them from cameras or cds into folders in an All Users network, so that everyone, internally, can access them. Sometimes staff download their own photos. The result is ok - not great, as different staff have different styles of organizing, which often don't allow for good accessibility. Is anyone using a different system that works very well?

[ha-Safran]: Convention in the press
Here are some articles written in the North Shore of Boston, and Western Mass. Jewish press about our recent convention. Ann Abrams, Librarian Temple Israel 477 Longwood Avenue Boston, MA 02215 617-566-3960 x116 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED][EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.tisrael.org/http://www.tisrael.org [] http://www.jewishjournal.org/ June 20, 2006 Western Mass: News Mordicai Gerstein wins award for 'Sholom's Treasure' By Lauren Kramer Mordicai Gerstein has a passion for making books, one that is clearly seen when you read his work and witness his illustrations. I think that making books, or any kind of art, might also be like mining, he philosophizes on his Web site. The artist digs into his or her life and imagination and never knows what they'll find. That's the adventure. Those words rang especially true when Gerstein got a call from Beverly Reingold, executive editor at the publishing house Farrar, Straus and Giroux in New York. Reingold had a gut feeling that his illustrations would be the perfect accompaniment to a picture book biography on Sholom Aleichem by Los Angeles writer Erica Silverman. As it turns out, she was spot on. Gerstein, an award-winning writer and illustrator who lives in Western Massachusetts with his wife, Susan Yard Harris and their daughter, Risa, had a keen personal interest in helping create this book because it hearkened back to his own family roots. His maternal grandparents hailed from a shtetl in Russia, while his father came from Poland. It appealed to me to try and recreate the world of Sholom Aleichem, and the world of my ancestors - to make a shtetl between the covers, he says. Gerstein embarked on a process of researching photographic material of Jewish communities in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, reading books and biographical material to learn about how people lived and what they looked like. His research and talent, coupled with Silverman's writing, were a winning combination. The book, Sholom's Treasure: How Sholom Aleichem Became a Writer, recently won the 2006 gold medal in the Sydney Taylor Book Award's Young Readers Category. On June 21, Silverman and Gerstein met for the first time in Cambridge during the Association of Jewish Libraries 41st Annual Convention, where they accepted the award. This book had a perfect marriage of illustration and text, enthuses Heidi Estrin, chairperson of the Sidney Taylor Book Award Committee at the Association of Jewish Libraries. You can tell that the author and illustrator were doing this because they loved the topic and enjoyed the process of creating the book. As a result, the reader enjoys it, too. Silverman, a published children's book author since 1989, read Sholom Aleichem's autobiography while working on another book that contained an adaptation of one of his stories. The idea of writing a picture book biography started forming then, because Sholom was a child full of life and spirit, she says. He was bright, compassionate, yet a tremendous trouble-maker, and I thought he'd have great appeal to children. The Sydney Taylor award committee immediately identified with that appeal and was struck by the book's universality. In selecting an award-winning book, we're looking not just for Jewish content but for books that are well written and universal in some ways, so that a wide readership, including but not limited to Jewish readers, would find them interesting, Estrin says. This book really makes the character of Sholom accessible, she continues. It's based on actual anecdotes about his life and communicates what an interesting person he was - a daredevil, a prankster, and a man with a real way of words. The illustrations form a very active story so you can see what's happening - even, for example, as he makes faces to copy his school teacher. Silverman said that having Gerstein illustrate her picture biography was a match made in heaven. My publisher approached him, and I was thrilled that he was interested, she confesses. Before this, I knew his work and admired him greatly. And I think Mordicai's art was the perfect vehicle in bringing my words to life. Gerstein is thrilled to have participated in this book, and expresses dismay at how little known Sholom Aleichem is, even within the Jewish community today. He was called the Jewish Mark Twain in the time when he was writing, and he should be better known, he says. I thought because of 'Fiddler on the Roof' that his name would be more familiar to people, but it's not. I'm delighted that Erica came up with his biography, and I hope it will encourage more awareness of this great writer. Born and raised in Los Angeles, Gerstein had always wanted to be a painter. He attended the Chouinard Institute of Art before moving to New York in 1957, where he lived and work for 25 years making animated films for television. In 1970, he met author Elizabeth Levy, who had written a mystery

[ha-Safran]: AJL Convention 2006 - tzedakah opportunity
Dear friends, Our planning committee is working around the clock getting ready to welcome you to Cambridge! We want to mention one tzedakah opportunity that may influence how you pack: We will be collecting books to send to the Jewish libraries and schools damaged by Hurricane Katrina. A container will be available in the registration area. Our colleagues in Louisiana/Mississippi ask only that the books be titles published in the last two years, and in good condition, as these are the works that have the most value for them. Also, please tell your Boston area friends that our exhibit area will be open to the public all three days. The hours are posted on the AJL website. And, finally, thanks to Sheryl Stahl and Heidi Estrin, we have a blog! Check it out for daily updates and chatty tid-bits. We are so cutting edge in AJL! http://jewishlibrariesconf06.blogspot.com/http://jewishlibrariesconf06.blogspot.com/ N'siah tovah, to each of you! See you soon!

[ha-Safran]: AJL Convention 2006 - Wed box lunch
Dear safranim, In the pre-March 19 version of AJL Convention 2006 registration information posted on the AJL website, there was no place to check off if you wanted a kosher box lunch on Wednesday June 21. If you do, and you haven't yet sent in your registration, please be sure to download the latest version from the AJL website: http://www.jewishlibraries.orgwww.jewishlibraries.org ; if you already sent in your registration, please send an additional check for $25 as soon as possible; and, in either case, please indicate whether you want tuna salad or sliced turkey sandwich.

[ha-Safran]: AJL Convention 2006 and Wed night @ the Hyatt
Dear safranim, We have received emails from some of you hoping to stay at the Hyatt Wed night so you can take advantage of our wonderful Thursday tour to the National Yiddish Book Center. The Hyatt has offered us 10 more rooms, at $235 for that night for up to 3 people; $310 for 4, which is more than the Sunday - Tuesday rate of $195, but still less than their rate that time of year of $265. We hope this will help more of you stay that extra day for our wonderful tour!

[ha-Safran]: AJL Convention in Cambridge, MA!
Dear safranim, On behalf of the New England planning committee, we are looking forward to welcoming you to Cambridge (which is across the Charles River from Boston), for the 2006 AJL convention, June 18-21! It is certainly long overdue that there be a conference in the Boston area (the last one in Massachusetts was 1977 in Waltham, and 1967 in Boston), and we are proud and excited to be your hosts. We're very happy to announce that the registration materials are now posted on our website, thanks to webmaster Nancy Sack! You will also be receiving these materials along with the February newsletter, thanks to Nancy, and Libby White. And, our program committe is working very hard to post in the next couple of weeks a preliminary program on the website, so, stay tuned! As all of you know, who have either worked on a convention or attended one, everyone on the local planning committee is a volunteer, with many of us also working at full or part-time jobs. I'm mentioning this to preface an appeal: PLEASE do your best to send in your registration materials in a timely manner. And, if you're planning to stay at the convention hotel (Hyatt Regency - please make reservations through the link on the AJL website), please make your reservations soon. We have a block of rooms guaranteed for the convention dates; however, Boston is a busy place this time of year, and we've recently learned that the Hyatt is booked the few days preceding our convention. One of our planning committee members will soon be posting a list of accomodations on the website, with thought given to those requiring synagogues in walking distance and/or kosher food. We are also in the process of coordinating Shabbat home hospitality. Greater Boston and New England are wonderful places to visit in June. In future postings, those of us who live here will make suggestions about how to spend your time, if you are able to be a tourist for some of your visit. In the meantime, you can start your own research (you are librarians, after all!) by going to http://www.shalomboston.comwww.shalomboston.com for the Jewish sites, and http://www.bostonusa.com/http://www.bostonusa.com/ for the general tourist info. We look forward to saying Bruchim Ha-baim to you in June! Ann Abrams and Zellie Kaplan Co-chairs, AJL Convention 2006, @ the Hyatt Regency, Cambridge, MA, June 18 - 21.
