[ha-Safran]: Do a Mitzvah - Make a Minyan!
If you wonder what the appeal is of early morning davening, consider coming to a minyan at convention! The egalitarian minyan especially welcomes participants who are not regular daveners to come and maybe even experiment. Want to wear a tallit? There will be extras available. Curious about tefillin? You can try them on. If you've never had an aliyah, convention is a safe place to do it for the first time. Minyanim are at 6:45 am every day: orthodox in Huronie A, egalitarian in Huronie B. Feel free to let me know ahead of time if you'd like to try something new at the egalitarian minyan, or simply come at 6:45 am on Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday. See you there!

[ha-Safran]: Why 10 for a minyan?
In this week's Torah portion, Sh'lach l'kha, Moses sends a team of 12 scouts one representative from each of the tribes to scope out the land of Canaan. Only Joshua and Caleb return with a positive report. God then asks (Numbers 14:27), How long will this evil 'assembly' provoke [the Jewish nation] to complain against Me? From the use of the word eidah, assembly, to refer to that group of ten, the rabbinic sages deduced that an eidah, a congregation, must consist of at least ten people. Next Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday at 6:45 am, we will have two minyanim: orthodox in room Huronie A and egalitarian in room Huronie B. The orthodox minyan needs 10 men, and the egal minyan needs 10 men and women in order for people to say all the morning prayers and read from the Torah, and in order for mouners to say Kaddish. Please consider participating in a minyan one morning of convention. If there are ten participants for each minyan at 6:45 am, both services can begin promptly and end in time for a leisurely breakfast.

[ha-Safran]: Anyone driving to convention from New York area?
Shalom l'kulam, I am organizing the egalitarian minyanim at Convention you'll hear more from me about that and I'm eager to introduce a new siddur, Siddur Eit Ratzon by Dr. Joseph Rosenstein. We only need about a dozen of them, but the cost and hassle of shipping them to Montreal is prohibitive. If someone is driving to convention who would be willing to bring a small carton of books, I would be most grateful. In all likelihood, you would not need to transport them back again. I will be encouraging people to buy the siddur as a resource for their libraries (and to recommend to their congregations, if appropriate). I'll take orders any day, and anyone who buys one can pick it up after our final minyan on Wednesday morning. But first we have to get the books there! Can anyone help?

RE: [ha-Safran]: Hadassah article about new, crime story books
I suspect Rachel Kamin did mean A Secret, the film version of Memory by Philippe Grimbert. The book's title in the original French was Un Secret. One of our synagogue book discussion groups read the book, an autobiographical novel about a Parisian boy's discovery that his parents have kept secret not only their experience during the Occupation, but even the fact that they are Jewish. A few weeks after the book discussion, we showed the film as part of a film series.

[ha-Safran]: Questions for Synagogue librarians - DVD collectioins
Fellow synagogue librarians, How do you manage your DVD collections? Do you leave DVD's in their cases, or keep them behind the desk? Do you assign them call numbers or categorize them another way? I'm thinking of changing the system I inherited here and am interested in what others are doing. A related question: do you still have videocassettes? I have a shelf-ful; they are rarely checked out. I'm very short of space, so I'm thinking of removing them all and replacing the titles that I think people will borrow with DVD's. Does anyone have advice to offer on the subject? Reply off-list; I'll summarize the responses and post the summary for each question.

[ha-Safran]: Summer opportunity for 20-30 year olds
Shalom safranim/ot, Please share the announcement below about the Everett Fellows Program at the National Havurah Committee Summer Institute with any 20- and 30- something young Jews you know. It's a fabulous opportunity. Institute is an inspiring, soul-refreshing opportunity for study, Tefillah, and community for people of all ages. If you are outside the age range for the Everett Fellows Program, please consider coming to Institute as a participant. All the information is at www.havurah.org, or you can ask me about it. Thanks!

Fellows participate in the full Summer Institute programming and in four workshops designed specifically for them. Fellows receive a scholarship for tuition, room, and board, and are expected to pay only for registration and dues ($120) for the full week. Summer Institute is a week of learning and teaching with 350+ learners from across North America (and a few other places too). To quote a former Everett Fellow, if a multigenerational Jewish community were inclusive of educated laypeople, respectful of individuals with or without families, and open to experimentation, would it be a place for 20-and-30-something Jews like [me/you/us]? Yes. You can see other comments about the Summer Institute at http://jewschool.com/category/events/nhc-summer-institute/ To apply for an Everett Fellowship, you must be 22 through 32 years of age, interested in exploring havurah Judaism, and willing to participate fully in the Summer Institute. Preference is given to first time Institute attendees. For more information, visitwww.havurah.org or call the NHC office at 215-248-1335.

The stories are not about how each letter got its name, but there's a story for each letter that relates to its name. The first one is about creation. As the book progresses through the aleph-bet, the stories go through the Tanakh and later Midrash. Even if it's not the book you're looking for, you'll like it.

Why do some people say temple while others say shul? Who prefers biblical names for their babies? Your responses will help us answer these and other questions, and you might learn something about yourself in the process.

[ha-Safran]: Bindery commendation
Friends, I have just unpacked a shipment of books that I sent to be rebound and/or repaired at the Bridgeport National Bindery. The quality of the work exceeded my highest expectations. I had sent books with a variety of problems, among them: One book, with just one loose signature, was repaired without any visible alteration. An old monograph has a new fabric cover, with title and author stamped in gold on spine and front cover. Several hardcover books were given new, laminated covers with digitized images of their original covers or dust jackets. Best of all, battered paperback copies of Gerda Weissman Klein's Promise of a New Spring, now out-of-print, were converted to hardcover books with laminated covers, also with digitized i div For the library, the cost of rebinding was approximately $11/volume. Individuals may send books for rebinding for approx. $33/volume. For valuable books, the bindery has a conservator available to work on them. In addition to doing fine work, the bindery was attentive and responsive to questions and communication, whether by email or by phone. I recommend the Bridgeport National Bindery without reservation.

(Note that the name is Pilichowski, w/ an i after the L.) The painting will be the first item that comes up. Unfortunately, the quality of the online image is not great. It's an enormous painting and a small image. The original is phenomenal in its detail. You can recognize each of the dignitaries present on the dais. In the audience are representatives of every sort of person who lived in Palestine at the time, including Bedouin in traditional headdress, Hadassah nurses in uniform, etc. Hope this is helpful!

[ha-Safran]: Kids' resources on Mishnaic sages

They will be presenting their work in a variety of formats, e.g., a report, a skit, a mock newspaper article. I'm compiling resources for them, and most of what I find is aimed at adults. Can anyone recommend sources - written, recorded, online, etc. - at a 5th grade or even middle school level?

Marga ** Marga Hirsch Library/Media Specialist Perelman Jewish Day School Stern Center - Wynnewood, PA Forman Center - Melrose Park, PA -Original Message- From: Miryam Pomerantz Sent: Monday, February 13, 2006 5:17 PM Hi, As you may know, the Jewish Book Council runs many projects, in addition to scheduling author events at Jewish book festival through the Jewish Book NETWORK. This spring, we are launching a new project, unlike any of our current ones, but also dedicated to the promotion of Jewish literature and writing and its legacy. In May, the Jewish Book Council will co-sponsor, with the Mayanot Institute, the first Israel in Print birthright israel trip. The birthright israel program offers Jewish 18-26 year olds--who have not previously been on an organized, peer trip--a free 10-day trip to Israel to experience the country, learn about the history and culture, and just generally have an amazing, fun, whirlwind tour of Israel with their peers. Recently, special interest birthright trips have been forming, trips that tailor their itinieraries and gather a group of participants with a similar focus. This new Israel in Print is a focused on literature, journalism, and writing. It will include all of the standard elements of a birthright israel trip--like swimming in the Dead Sea, hiking Masada, taking jeep rides in the desert, visiting Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, Tiberias, and Sfat--along with special activities. The partnership between Mayanot and Jewish Book Council will allow participants to see an Israel that most visitors never do - by meeting with Israel's most famous authors and journalists, respected, award-winning writers as well as the hottest up-and-coming young talent. We're very excited about this trip, but it's brand-new, and no one knows about it. Please help us spread the word. If you know of any Jewish 18-26 year old--students, grad students, friends--who is eligible for this trip and is interested in literature and journalism, please ask them to contact our office or visit www.mayanotisrael.com/jbc. The trip is tentatively scheduled for the end of May, after most universities are done for the year. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. We do have informational postcards that we could send to you to distribute, if you are interested. Thanks so much, Miri Miri Pomerantz Jewish Book Council 15 E. 26th Street New York, NY 10010 (212) 786-5157 fax: (212) 481-4174 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]: Christmas and start of Hanukkah
I referred the question to a friend of mine who knows a great deal about the Jewish calendar. His response is below. Marga * Marga Hirsch 175 Upland Terrace Bala Cynwyd, PA 19004 610.668.9485 __ I'm pretty sure that the only time this CAN happen is on the 1st or 9th year of the 19-year cycle of Jewish leap years, which are the two latest years of the cycle with respect to the civil calendar. (If you divide the Jewish year by 19, the remainder has to be 1 or 9.) 5766 is the 9th year of the current cycle. But the Hanukkah/Christmas thing doesn't happen each time there's a year 1 or a year 9, due both to civil leap years and to the occasional need to add or subtract one day from the Jewish year. So what do you mean by falling on Christmas? If you mean that the first candle is on the 25th, then that will next happen in 5785 (2024, year 9) and in 5796 (2035, year 1). But if you also count the first candle being lit on Christmas Eve, then that will next happen on the next year 1: 5777 (2016). Furthermore, in 5804 (2043, year 9), the first candle will be on December 26th! That might be the latest possible start date for Hanukkah, I'm not sure. Of course, all of the above is invalid if either the mashiach comes before then, or if a gigantic meteor comes before then and disrupts all the astronomical calculations that have been done for the future. Though in either of these cases, whether Hanukkah and Christmas coincide or not will be the last thing on our minds.

RE: [ha-Safran]: Defining what is Jewish
Hevre, The title Kaddish for Grandpa in the Name of Jesus Amen is most unfortunate - I can't understand how an editor allowed it - but the book in no way encourages intermarriage. On the contrary, it supports conversion. The father in the book converted to Judaism. He is Jewish. He is a partner in a Jewish marriage, not an intermarriage. I assume that if the author and editor had titled the book Two Services for Grandpa, it would be easier to buy.

RE: [ha-Safran]: What is Happening to AJL?
I have not seen the books mentioned in the original post, so I can't comment on their eligibility for an award or their suitability for inclusion in one collection or another on the basis of their particular merits. However, I want to register my opinion that to provide Jewish children with books that reflect their reality, we must be open to stories of interfaith families. For the last year and a half I have been the coordinator of The Rabbi Morris Goodblatt Academy of the Philadelphia Region of the Rabbinical Assembly. We offer 30 weeks of Hebrew and Judaica instruction to individuals who are interested in conversion within the Conservative movement. Many of our students are engaged. After conversion, they are married with Huppah and Kiddushin. They will, God willing, be blessed with children whom they will raise as Jews. Those children will have one set of grandparents who celebrate Christmas. When one of those grandparents passes away, the Jewish grandchildren will participate in the funeral, burial, and mourning. Not every interfaith family includes an interfaith marriage.
