[ha-Safran] Title suggestions needed

[Susan Kusel]

I have a reference question I could use help with.  Someone in our community 
has reached out to us who would like to buy books for a Jew who is in prison, 
and would like suggestions of titles to purchase. The prisoner in question is a 
Jamaican Jew who has requested Jewish adult ed materials. The request has been 
quite broad (the original request was just for Jewish books). It has been 
difficult to narrow it down- since we are not directly involved in the 
conversation... the requestor and the prisoner are writing letters back and 
forth and it takes about a month to get any clarification.

We sent a list of several possible Jewish topics, and received this itemized 
list in response: "#1 Jewish History, #2 Philosophy, #3 theology, and #4 
Traditional Jewish Living. But I really like "Philosophy."

All these categories are still rather broad, and suggestions for your favorites 
in these topics would be appreciated. Probably not the classics, it sounds like 
he's already read those... more current titles would probably be better.

I'm a librarian at a reform synagogue, and if anyone can help with "traditional 
Jewish living" that would also be very appreciated.

**Also- the particular prison that he is at does not allow for hardcover books, 
so any titles would have to be available in paperback.

Thank you so much for your help. It is greatly appreciated.

[ha-Safran] Betsy Teutsch's new book 100 Under $100

[Dina Tanners]

I want to share with you an amazing new book by Betsy Teutsch, possibly better 
known to many of you as a fantastic  ketubah artist 

It contains 100 different solutions to reduce problems in extreme poverty 
areas. They empower women and each entry includes actionable items. It also has 
great photographs to help convey the message of each entry. 

Betsy is working on a Jewish link to the book with ties to Torah portions. 

My rabbi is going to use the book with B'nai Mitzvah youth as it has many great 
ideas for tzedakkah projects. 

For more information check out her book Facebook page 
Www.facebook.com/100under100
And her website w tons of resources at 100under100.org

I have just spent an unbelievable nine days with her with Fair Trade Judaica 
and MayaWorks in Guatemala and was honored to go see one of the projects w her 
that was mentioned in the book!  That in itself is a great story!!!

Jewish Prisoners Services International is based in Seattle where I live. The 
director, Gary Friedman, is amazing. If he does not have the prisoner's bane 
already, I would be surprised. Check out the website of JPSI and connect with 
him. He travels all over, distributes donated books, etc  and is very aware of 
regulations in prisons.

[ha-Safran] Books in Spanish on Judaism.

[Dina Tanners]

I just had the honor to spend Shabbat with a small Reform congregation in 
Guatemala City called Adat Israel. It was a truly amazing experience. 

The group can especially use Spanish-Hebrew dictionaries and books in Spanish 
with a Reform or Conservative bent on Judaism. If anyone has any spare books 
like this or knows where to buy them, please let me know.   The group has a 
Facebook page so you can learn about them there.

[ha-Safran] Tanakh/Talmud concordance or an online tool

[Amalia Warshenbrot]

Dear friends,
Please reply to me with a request from my Havruta partner.
Do you know of either an English or Hebrew/English Tanakh concordance or, 
ideally a Tanakh/Talmud concordance?  If not, is there an online tool where I 
can do key word searches that I haven’t yet found?
I asked if it can be in Hebrew/Aramaic. Here is his reply
It will take me far less time if it is at least Hebrew/English given that there 
are often several Hebrew words translated as the same English word.  And 
phrases (as often found in Psalms) can be translated many ways.  There really 
should be some online source for this but everything I find is basically New 
Testament/Old Testament concordance.

Thanking you in advance,

Amalia Warshenbrot
