Chelm stories are a huge hit with my students, too! 



In addition, we love the books that Rose Myers refers to in her message, in 
which readers/listeners can guess the solution before it's revealed. Actually, 
making predictions is something we often do before and while reading many 
different texts. I guide the students in making predictions based on the title 
and cover of a book, and then at appropriate places in the middle of a story I 
pause and ask what might happen next. After frequently doing this together, the 
students develop the habit of making predictions on their own, and it's a great 
way for a reader/listener to engage with a text and actively think about what's 
happening.

I created a chart (see attached) identifying Judaic books that I have 
successfully used with upper elementary students. Some of them are picture 
books, while others are chapter books and anthologies. Many of the stories take 
longer than 15 minutes to read and discuss, so if you can have longer library 
periods that may be helpful.

Happy reading!

I have found this age group particularly enjoy Chelm stories. I had several 4th 
grade classes that would want to hear the same stories over and over -- just 
like younger grades. Once I overheard an older student telling a younger one 
that he was really in for a treat because in 4th Grade they got to hear Chelm 
stories! They love being read to and I think they miss the experience at that 
age.

  I would not assume that the 3rd-5th graders will no longer want to have 
stories read to them. I am librarian at the Hebrew Day School of Ann Arbor, and 
our 3rd-5th graders are still VERY enthusiastic about listening to and 
discussing books that I read aloud. I share with them lots of picture books and 
chapter books - historical fiction, folktales, midrashim, holiday tales and 
more. There are many enriching and thought-provoking choices for this age 
group! The students love to discuss predictions, debate characters' actions, 
and explore lessons that can be learned. When we do other types of activities, 
they often ask when they'll get to hear more books, so I try to balance their 
desire to enjoy literature (and my desire to discuss it with them) with my need 
to engage them in a variety of library tasks. Perhaps your upper elementary 
students will be enthusiastic about listening to literature as well!

[ha-Safran] Make Plans Now to Attend the 2013 NFAIS Annual Humanities Roundtable (please share with your networks)

2013-08-16 Thread Heidi Estrin 
Our friends at ATLA asked us to post this on Hasafran.


Make Plans Now to Attend the 2013 NFAIS Annual Humanities Roundtable
Please excuse any cross-posting

One of the few information industry events that focuses primarily on the 
concerns of content providers and information professionals working in the 
broad spectrum of the humanities, this is the time to register for the 
forthcoming 2013 NFAIS Annual Humanities Roundtable. This one-day workshop will 
be held in Chicago, Illinois, on Monday, September 30, 2013. Sponsors include 
the American Theological Library Association, the Brook Center for Music 
Research and Documentation, the Modern Language Association, the law firm of 
Quarles  Brady and the Philosopher's Information Center.

Today's rapidly shifting digital information environment offers plenty of 
opportunity to both content providers and information professionals for adding 
value to their services and demonstrating the great return on investment that 
those services provide to the student, scholar, and professional. This year's 
Roundtable offers a chance to learn from active leaders in the field about 
projects in the digital humanities, content enrichment and linked data, 
assessing usage and user behavior and much, much more. Of particular interest 
this year, we're thrilled to be featuring legal experts discussing the 
long-term significance of recent court rulings that may be impacting practices 
of both content providers and libraries!

Focus: Partnerships and Best Practices: Critical Issues Impacting Humanities 
Content Providers, Librarians and End Users

Venue: Offices of Quarles  Brady, 300 N. LaSalle Street, Suite 4000, Chicago, 
Illinois
Date: Monday, September 30, 2013
Committed speaker-participants include:

  *   Dr. Christopher D. Cantwell, Assistant Director, Scholl Center for 
American History  Culture, Newberry Library
  *   Harriet E. Green, English and Digital Humanities Librarian, University of 
Illinois - Urbana-Champaign
  *   Heather Buchta, Partner, Quarles  Brady
  *   Jessica L. Franken, Partner, Quarles  Brady
  *   Richard W. Young, Partner, Quarles  Brady
  *   Korey Jackson, Editor, Anvil Academic
  *   Mike Teets, Vice President, Innovation, OCLC

In-person attendance is limited to 50 people-virtual attendance options are 
also available.  Group registration rates are available for groups of 3 or 
more.  Additional program details, registration rates, and hotel block 
information has been posted to the NFAIS web site at:

[ha-Safran] FS: Weinreich's History of the Yiddish Language - Second Improved Edition

2013-08-16 Thread Henry Hollander 
Dear Friends,
  With great good fortune I was able to buy out what 
appears to be the remainder of the copies of one of the greatest works of 
Jewish scholarship – Weinreich’s “History of the Yiddish Language,” in the 
Second edition of the translation into English. In my description below you 
will find a detailed description of the Second Edition and the significant 
improvements made over the First edition. The Second clearly and completely 
supersedes the First. I am able to offer copies to the Hasafran list at $100.00 
postpaid within the US. Overseas shipping is an additional $50.00. “History of 
the Yiddish Language was published at $300.00 and never discounted that I know 
of. Now that Yale University Press has abandoned the book it is not likely to 
reissued in this generation. I strongly recommend this book for all Jewish 
libraries used by adults that do not have a copy of this edition. 

All the best,
Henry Hollander

Weinreich, Max. “History of the Yiddish Language.” In Two Volumes. New Haven, 
Yale University Press, Published in cooperation with the YIVO Institute for 
Jewish Research, 2008. Second English language edition. ISBN: 
978-0-300-10887-3. Octavos, blue cloth with gold lettering, xiv, 348, 357A pp., 
maps and tables, + vi, 349-733, 358A-988A pp., a few maps and figures, 
cumulative index. Hardbound. Very Good. Translated by Shlomo Noble, with the 
assistance of Joshua A. Fishman. With a new introduction to this edition by 
Paul Glasser who edited this second edition. His introduction explains the many 
differences between this edition and the previous one published by the 
University of Chicago in one volume in 1980. I had always wondered how the four 
volumes of the original Yiddish language edition had been squeezed into one 
volume. In fact only small pieces of the extensive notes (Volumes three and 
four) had appeared in the Chicago edition. Here there are presented in their 
entirety (The pagination ending in A indicated the notes), nearly one thousand 
pages. It is unclear whether the notes were translated by Joshua Fishman, Paul 
Glasser or some other hand. The notes are translated with a more contemporary 
eye to transliteration and are improved on where Weinreich's brevity in 
notation was excessive. The original index prepared by Bella Hass Weinberg has 
been revised and augmented by Nancy Zibman. Each volume includes an Appendix: 
Parallel Paragraph numbering of Max Weinreich (1973): 'Geshikhte fun der 
Yidisher Shprakh' and Max Weinreich (2008): 'History of the Yiddish Language,' 
and a Select Bibliography of Max Weinreich's Works. (69271)  

$100.00 postpaid within the US. Postage $50.00 on orders from outside the US. 
We ship and bill to libraries and institutions. Individuals are asked to 
prepay. __
