[ha-Safran]: Jewish books for advanced readers (boys) in first grade
The Always Prayer Shawl by Sheldon Oberman From Publishers Weekly Oberman's ( Lion in the Lake ) simply told and moving story invokes the power of tradition. Adam is a Jewish boy growing up in czarist Russia, where his grandfather, also named Adam, teaches him the importance of Jewish beliefs and customs, stressing that some things change and some things don't. Without distancing the reader, comparisons crystallize the differences between Adam's time and the present: When Adam went for eggs, he did not get them from a store. He got them from a chicken. When Adam felt cold, he did not turn a dial for heat. He chopped wood for a fire. When Adam and his parents emigrate, Adam's grandfather gives his prayer shawl to the boy, who responds with a promise: I am always Adam and this is my always prayer shawl. That won't change. In America, Adam learns to live, dress and speak differently. The prayer shawl changes, too--first the fringe is replaced, then the collar and finally the cloth. But, as Adam is to explain to his own grandson, It is still my Always Prayer Shawl. As a tender conclusion brings Adam's spiritual life full circle, Lewin underscores the cyclical theme by picturing the grandson as very like the young Adam. His realistic watercolors dynamically depict the Old World in black and white, changing to color as Adam grows up, and his affecting portraits match the quiet passion of Oberman's prose. Ages 7-up. Copyright 1993 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition. From School Library Journal Kindergarten-Grade 3-When Adam, a young boy growing up in Czarist Russia, emigrates to the United States with his family, his grandfather gives him the prayer shawl that his grandfather had given him. Throughout his life, Adam continues to wear and repair the shawl, hanging on to his grandfather's statement that 'Everything about it has changed. But it is still my Always Prayer Shawl. It is just like me. I have changed and changed and changed. But I am still Adam.' He explains to his own grandson the story behind the shawl, and the young boy pledges to carry on the tradition of naming a son Adam and passing the heirloom on to him. The book effectively illustrates how different life was for a child growing up in Russia than it is for modern children. The major theme that some things change while others never do is worth exploring, but the story leaves little to the imagination and hammers the message home. Non-Jewish children may wonder what makes the prayer shawl so special; Oberman never explains its use in worship. Lewin's paintings feature gracefully drawn figures that look especially good at a distance. But at times, the pictures fail to convey the full range of emotion described in the narrative, such as in the scene in which Adam says good-bye to his grandfather. Additionally, it seems almost arbitrary that the black-and-white illustrations change to lushly colored watercolors when Adam becomes an adult. When books about family traditions, especially those of Jewish people, are needed, this one will suffice, with the help of an adult who can answer the anticipated questions.

Re: [ha-Safran]: Jewish Books
Dov Noy considers a folktale Jewish if it contains at least one of the following: a Jewish life cycle event (like a bar mitzvah or Jewish holiday); a Jewish setting (like a synagogue or a shetl); a Jewish character; or a Jewish message (like hospitality or charity).

[ha-Safran]: Jewish Books in Braille and TTY Machines
Chag Sameach Safranim, I was wondering if any of you knew any resources for buying Jewish books in braille for elementary school students (infancy through sixth grade). I also want to know which one of your libraries has a TTY machine for elementary school students to use and how you went about purchasing one. If you could respond to these questions off of the discussion board for me, that would be helpful. I would like to know these answers soon because I am starting to create a Judaica library for a private Jewish day school.

Shalom, We are a non-profit agency that helps Jewish inmates in the US and abroad. (Our website is: http://www.jewishprisonerservices.orgwww.jewishprisonerservices.org.) We are in constant need of adult Jewish books of all kinds. We were wondering if you could post a notice about us in the next few issues of the AJL Newsletter and/or online. In the past we have received donations from synagogue libraries, bookstores and publishers of used or surplus books. Chaplain Gary Friedman, Chairman of Jewish Prisoner Services International, recently spoke about us with Rita Berman Firscher, when she was visiting the Seattle area for a Jewish teachers' conference. Kindly let me know at your earliest convenience. Thank you very much.
