[ha-Safran] Hidden Treasures from Europe I

[Celestina Levant]

Hello
We would like to introduce a new book published by the Mekize Nirdamim 
publishing:
Hidden Treasures from Europe I
By Simcha 
Emanuel

The discovery of the Cairo Geniza has transformed scholarly research in 
multiple areas of Jewish Studies and revolutionized several disciplines. It has 
provided the materials for thousands of studies and is by no means exhausted. 
Alongside the Cairo Geniza, an additional "Geniza" is slowly emerging in 
Europe, one that consists of many thousands of individual pages that were torn 
from Hebrew manuscripts hundreds of years ago and subsequently used for 
bookbinding and as folders for archive files. Although the first fruits of the 
European Geniza appeared considerably before the discovery of its Cairo 
counterpart, this "European Geniza" has not been at the center of scholarly 
interest, and relatively few scholars have made use of it. However, in recent 
decades thousands of new fragments have come to light, increasing the quantity 
previously known to us exponentially. Read

[ha-Safran] FW: LESSONS OF SURVIVAL: CONVERSATIONS WITH SIMON WIESENTHAL

[Ruth Diskin]

 

LESSONS OF SURVIVAL: Conversations with Simon Wiesenthal 

Now - a SPECIAL OFFER FOR LIBRARIES - $150 PURCHASE PRICE (instead of 300
USD) for universities libraries and 99 USD for public libraries. 

 

Fighting evil and challenging immoral actions are sadly still relevant in
today's world.

In conversations with the legendary Simon Wiesenthal, Inna Rogatchi allows
us to learn from this courageous man. Over a period of time and in chain of
friendly discussions with the filmmaker, Simon Wiesenthal shares his
insights into the psychology, philosophy and sociology of the Holocaust, and
its implications to this day. The universal appeal of his message continues
to be relevant, and this film provides unique insight in the lessons of
survival and actively opposing evil.

A rare peek into important perceptions by a singular man.

 

You can read a nice review of this film at

[ha-Safran] Sydney Taylor Book Award Committee opening

[Diane Rauchwerger]

One position on the Sydney Taylor Book Award Committee will be available 
beginning January 1, 2016.

Applicants should be members of AJL, familiar with the scope of Judaic 
children’s literature, experienced in writing critical reviews, willing and 
able to read and review over 120 books during the course of a year, and able to 
meet deadlines.

Committee members are expected to attend annual conventions and to participate 
in committee-sponsored events, including speaking at the Committee’s annual 
presentation.  The term of membership on the Committee is four years.  Each 
committee member typically receives more than $1500 in books for review, which 
may be kept for personal use or added to the member’s library.

Membership on the Sydney Taylor Book Award Committee is both fun and 
intellectually challenging, but it also requires a substantial commitment in 
terms of time and energy.

Members must be able to submit reviews electronically and correspond with the 
committee members through regular e-mail.  Familiarity with Google Docs is 
helpful but not required.

To apply, send a letter indicating the reasons for your interest, a resume, and 
several examples of your recent reviews of Jewish children’s books to Diane 
Rauchwerger, Committee Chair, at ch...@sydneytaylorbookaward.org 
 or mls4...@sbcglobal.net 
.

Applications will be accepted through November 30, 2015.
