[ha-Safran] Mentoring for the AJL Conference 2013 in Houston
It's that time again. Time to register for the annual AJL Convention and time again to recruit seasoned members to meet, greet and guide newbies at this year's conference. Modeling the concept after that of other professional organizations such as ALA, we of AJL strive to ensure that all attending derive the maximum benefit from their experience. By contact the Mentoring Committee before the conference begins, mentor pairs can jump start the process by contacting one another and reviewing the new participant's goals for the action-packed 3-day session in Houston. If you're hesitating about the commitment, kindly remember the adage : Mi-kol talmidai hiskalti. Both mentor and mentee are assured to come away winners! Oh, and by the way, this pair may continue for an academic year based on availability. Are you a library student, recent graduate, or simply a first-timer who'd like to give this a try? Kindly send along your contact information with goals you'd like to achieve to Stephanie (Sara Leah) Gross: ajlmentor...@gmail.com. Please also remember to apply for the appropriate stipends and scholarships, as well. Looking forward to hearing from you all soon!

[ha-Safran] Zosa Szajkowski
The new issue of Jewish Social Studies (volume 8, no. 2 -- Winter 2012) contains the article Rescue or theft? Zosa Szajkowski and the salvaging of French Jewish history after World War II, by Lisa Moses Leff. It will prove fascinating reading for anyone interested in the transfer and theft of Jewish archival material from Europe to the United States, and their purchase by Judaica libraries.

[ha-Safran] New Picture Book by Jacqueline Woodson
A new picture book Each Kindness by Jacqueline Woodson, with illustrations by E.B. Lewis, caught my eye on the new book display at my public library. I checked it out and I read it with my 7-year-old son. When a new girl comes to the class she is ostracized by the other girls because of her second-hand clothes and shoes and the strange food she brings in her lunch. Chloe goes along with her friends and won't even smile at or speak to Maya even though she sits in the desk right next to her. The teacher then shows the class a large bowl filled with water. She drops a small stone in the water and explains: This is what kindness does . . . each little thing we do goes out, like a ripple, into the world. She has each student share something kind they have done while dropping a stone in the water. Chloe can't think of anything and passes the stone to the next person. Later Chloe walks home and stops at the pond. She throws small stones in the water as she thinks of all of the things she wishes she had said or done to show kindness towards Maya. But, Maya has left the school and she never gets the chance. The watercolor illustrations are beautiful and expressive and the overall message of the book is poignant and powerful. Obviously, this is not a Jewish book but the teacher's message, Each kindness makes the whole world a little bit better, corresponds closely with Jewish values. The word mitzvot could easily replace the word kindness in the text. I'm planning to buy a copy for the synagogue's library and I strongly recommend it for school, synagogue, and community libraries. Happy Passover!
