[ha-Safran]: My query about the matzah film
Dear Colleagues, After sending the last email, I 'googled' the subject and it came right up. For anyone interested, this film is wonderful.It is now available on DVD. I highly recommend it. It's called Let's Bake Matzos and it's from Sholom B. Goldstein NTSC. You can get it from Judaism.com, a Chabad website. Well worth showing to kids ages 6-10. I used to show it every year at Yeshivah Har Torah. In addition, I just returned from an organic farming workshop where I attended sessions about growing organic grains here in New York State. The main producer,ho was one of the presenters, spoke about growing grain for matzah. He said that when he follows the rabbincal laws, he gets the very best grain product. I intend to follow up on this and whatever information of interest I can gather, I will pass along. Marion Marion M.

[ha-Safran]: Gale's new global issues in context (GIC)
Dear Colleagues, I have just purchased this new Gale product using my NYS money. The format is very user friendly and allows a great deal of variety. It includes several hundred news sources in it's list of resources. It has many from Arab countries. After a closer look at the content, I have found that their resource list includes only one from Israel, namely 'Globes. Tel Aviv' an economic news product. It has no news publications from Israeli newspapers or periodicals. This troubles me very much and I've contacted the product managers at Gale about this. I was wondering if anyone else has looked at this item and has an opinion about it? Marion Stein Marion M.

[ha-Safran]: Re: HVLA LIST: Gale's new global issues in context (GIC)
Yes, Rhonda, you are right. Gale's Encyclopedia of Race and Racism was faulted by the ADL when it came out for including an article on Zionism written by a person whom ADL claims is a known anti-Zionist, Noel Ignatiev. I also found an article from Deborah Lipstadt criticizing Macmillan of the same issue; namely including Zionism in their encyclopedia of racism. It's really hard to keep up with all this distortion.

[ha-Safran]: Global Issues in Context
Colleagues, This is new product from Gale that has many fine features in terms of its flexibility. It is rich and covers many topics. But unfortunately it does have a bias that does not please anyone who cares about Israeli coverage and an unbiased look at the Middle East. Granted there are many fewer news resources from Israel than there are from all of the Arab world and Middle East in general, but this product so far has one newspaper from Israel. It is' Globes- Tel Aviv', an economic newspaper. That is it. Over the past 2 days, I've been bringing this fact to the attention of hasafran and the members of HVLA, the Hudson Valley Library Association of which I am a member. What follows is a letter by one of the HVLA librarians who was equally disturbed by this realization. Her letter to one of the product managers at Gale, the producer of this product, tells how she feels. She has given me permission to share this with you for your information. I have been in touch with several people at Gale who say they are working on remedying this situation. The product is brand new and hopefully shortly they will have multiple Israeli sources as part of the resources from which they draw their information and which they offer to their subscribers. We can never rely completely on an aggregator, but their should have some attempt to cover more than just one side from the locale and all references to the other from external sources. I'm sorry that I have to inform you of this. I like the product and hope that they will come through with acceptable Israeli sources. Marion Stein Marion M. Stein, Librarian The Abraham Joshua Heschel High School 20 West End Avenue New York, NY 10023 mar...@heschel.org (212) 246-7717 Ext 11639 Manners are of more importance than laws. Manners are what vex or soothe corrupt or purify, exalt or debase, barbarize or refine us, by a constant, steady, uniform, insensible operation, like that of the air we breathe in. Edmund Burke (1729-1797) - Original Message - Hi Craig: Happy New Year! Sorry I didn't return your message; it's my 1st week back from break, and I'm still digging out. To be honest, I'm concerned about the bias in your products. I previewed Global Issues in Context and I noticed that Gale does not provide articles from major Israeli news outlets about the conflict in Gaza. Why is the coverage unbalanced? Moreover,Hamas members are described as 'militants'. I believe that the US, along with other nations has classified Hamas as a terrorist organization. The same bias exists in your Custom Newspaper database; there is minor representation of Israeli media. I would think that Gale would make an effort to include more stories from a country that has such a vital role in world politics. After the Encyclopedia of Racism fiasco, I would think that Gale would have made more effort to provide fair and balanced views on world issues.

So, I'm back to getting each individual item separately. Here's what I do. First, I scan the list and delete those I know for sure are not relevant. Then, with the remainder, I just hold down the shift key while clicking on 5 postings in a row starting with the oldest to highlight them. While shift key is still down, I doubleclick on the 5 highlighted items and the 5 postings open on my screen simultaneously. Then, I quickly scan -- those I don't want I click on delete, those I want I can either read now or just close the email and go back to it later. I can go through lots of postings very quickly this way. (I've never tried more than 5 - but I'm sure it would work.) I'm retired now - so much of Hasafran is not relevant except what I can glean for our AJL of So. California website, of which I am webmaster. So, I know the frustration of wasting valuable time.

[ha-Safran]: a really good geographic database
Hi, We were subscribed to the world atlas online from Facts On File. We are due to renew it and I've taken a close look at it. I am really not satisfied with it. It seems very superficial and out of date to me. If you look at their bibliographic references, they are all 2000 or earlier imprints. Also, for example in the China entry, there is nothing under economy about their manufacturing; it's all about agriculture. It's possible that I've missed something there but it is not very inclusive. I've tried to find other geographic databases and have only been able to find ones that are very scholarly and specific to different areas of interest. If anyone has any recommendations for a website of this kind, that is appropriate for high school and is comprehensive, I'd be very appreciative.Marion Marion M.

My assignment it to find what help is available in the following states: Ohio, Texas, Massachusetts and California. I am writing to request that any librarians from those four states contact me with the specifics of the assistance they have in those states. For example, in NYS we have something called Nylink which is a library connection through which we can access many library related services. I have access to the OCLC Cat Express cataloging resources through Nylink. In addition, here we have free access to databases from another NYS library organ called NOVEL. It stands for New York Online Virtual Electronic Library. We also have the BOCES for the counties outside the NYC metro area. We also have a local New York City School Library System which can supply some services to us free of charge. Those of you from Ohio, Mass.

RE: [Hasafran] Benjamin of Tudela
As a person who has done rather extensive work on Benjamin of Tudela, I was thoroughly delighted with the Shulevitz version. I think it is appropriate to many different ages ad might well inspire an older student to go to the primary source; his diary which is available in a Hebrew/ English edition : The itinerary of Benjamin of Tudela; critical Hebrew Text, English translation and commentary by Marcus Nathan Adler, Philip Feldheim, Inc, NY, first edition, London 1907. I have a personal copy of this work and used it in creating a study unit in Jewish history of the Medieval period for Junior HS students about 26 years ago.

RE: [ha-Safran]: Convention venue
I agree with Naomi. I've attended conferences on college campuses and they are very successful. Realistically, people do not have time to tour the city in which the conference is held and do justice to the many sessions offered at the conference. So why not be at a location without distractions? As for the food, we'd have to see because it is important for everyone to be together for meals. I remember a convention in Cleveland where we had buffet style service and the food was DELICIOUS. I'd be willing to work on this reformatting of convention as well.

[ha-Safran]: Health magazines for HS students
Dear Librarians, We subscribed to some heath and fitness magazines on the recommendation of our PE teacher. When they came in we have noticed that they are mainly either advertisements for products, diet related articles and lots of pictures of scantily clad men and women. That is not all; most of them have articles about sexuality that are completely inappropriate for our target age group. Do any of you have recommendations of magazines about health and fitness that are geared to the adolescent group that is both serious, non-commercial and appealing to students?

Dear AJL The New Bibliography Bank on line is up for your bibliographical needs. Please note that ALL bibliographies that were not available on line have been eliminated.

This could also come from College level reference personnel. I am aware of the fact that there is an enormous amount of information about this ' out there'. Once again, I am asking for your expert advice from experience as to what you think is the cream of the crop when it comes to this area. This information could be of use to others but I'm particularly interested in the HS piece. Thank you in advance for all help you give.

I am writing to let you all know that Susan Woodward has created a bibliography of the items in the Hadassah library on Southern Jewish Women. She has included links to Southern Hadassah chapters that may have further information on the subject.

RE: [ha-Safran]: Scholem classification
It is important to make people aware of the Dewey 22 schedule in religion and history that includes a greatly expanded Judaica schedule. One could compare the two and then decide if we want an update of the Scholem expanded Dewey. Both are very good.

RE: [ha-Safran]: Which classification scheme best?
Joyce and others, In addition to the Hebrew U Dewey expansion, the regular new Dewey schedule, # 22 has a greatly expanded plan for Judaica. You might chooses to use that one.

[ha-Safran]: Converting LC to Dewey for Judaica mainly
Dear Colleagues, I am working in a brand new HS library and we have quite an extensive collection of Judaica books that are scholarly in nature. I am finding it difficult at times to get the correct Dewey number from the academic libraries from which I am taking records. Does anyone know of a conversion tool that is fairly detailed for assistance with this? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

RE: [Ha-Safran] We just want to live here
I fully agree with this reader. Marion Stein -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Hanna Geshelin Sent: Tuesday, October 14, 2003 5:05 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [Ha-Safran] We just want to live here I found We Just Want to Live Here terrible. I believe it is a lie based on a lie. The book is promoted as a conversation between two friends, but in fact the two girls were barely acquainted and were put together by the editor for the purpose of the book. The Jewish girl's family is from the farthest left-wing group, a Marxist-Communist organization, with no feeling and no knowledge of the Jewish religion or Jewish claims to the land. The overall picture is that the Israeli government doesn't represent the people; the government is evil and repressive and violent, and the Jews are as powerless against it as the Arabs are. There is almost no historical context. This is a political piece written by left-wingers with a left-wing agenda. I haven't read A Little Piece of Ground so I can't compare them, but this is bad enough. Hanna Geshelin P.O.
