Re: [ha-Safran] Chumashim in Hebrew--Spanish in Israel?

[ALBA TOSCANO]

If there isinternet in Guatemala,the far and away best of the spanish 
language jumashim is the 5-volume /Torah /(bi-lingual spanish/hebrew 
with commentaries in spanish) by Marcos Edery, published by 
Sinai(Israel). It's actually the translation of the commentaries from 
the Hertz Humash (rabi Edery z"l confirmed this when I asked him about 
it long ago when I went up to Barcelona especially just to meet him; he 
autographed it for me). It is to be found complete on the internet FOR FREE:

http://www.masuah.org/Jumash/

If there are telephones and/or internet in Guatemala, B'nei Israel, San 
José (Costa Rica)publishes a tri-lingual sidur (span/eng/heb) with 
transliteration, and plenty of other stuff as well.

[ha-Safran] Book suggestions need

[Amy Wissoker Graham]

As Passover approaches, the 6th grade class in our Hebrew School will 
be doing research projects connected to Jewish involvement in various 
freedom struggles such as:


The movement to free Soviet Jews
Operation Exodus (Ethiopian Jews)
Jews in the Civil Rights movement
Jews and feminism (e.g. Women of the Wall)
Jewish Labor organizers and early unions
The raid on Entebbe

I'm looking for any suggestions of age-appropriate books on those 
topics. I have Jessica Gunderson's book about the Triangle Shirtwaist 
Factory, and the Richard Michelson book and a couple of others on 
Jews and the civil rights movement. I've looked in the bibliography 
bank, but did not find too many relevant titles.


Thank you in advance for any assistance!

Re: [ha-Safran] Chumashim in Hebrew--Spanish in Israel?

[Michal Strutin]

I, too, would like to know where to get Hebrew-Spanish chumashim *and
seddurim*  (in the U.S.). I traveled to Cuba a year ago, bringing
donations, but could not find Hebrew-Spanish religious books. I'm still in
touch with congregations in Cuba, so would like to send, if possible.

(I also wrote an article for Tablet, "Seeking the Jews of Cuba

.")

thanks,
Michal

I am visiting for two weeks and want to take chumashim back to the US in
Hebrew and Spanish for a small non-Orthodox group in Central America that

Do you know where I can get any in Israel?   I do know that Art Scroll has

Thanks for your help, and thanks to those who helped me about a month ago.

[ha-Safran] ebooks

[Israel Cohen]

Nina Stenzler asked for information about eBook lending programs.

I have some recent very favorable experience with *Calibre,* a free eBook
Management application. I used it to convert a Word file containing Prof.
Shlomo Giora Shoham's *Language, Culture & Myth: The Power of the Word* to
various eBook formats.

*Calibre* (French spelling) can be used to search for eBooks on the web by
author, title and/or keywords and sort the results by price, to convert any
eBook format to any other format, to obtain from the web, modify and store
catalog data about eBooks, to edit eBooks, and (for your patrons) to serve
as a PC or laptop reader for eBooks in any format.

You can see how to obtain *Calibre* and how I used it by downloading this
slide show from the public folder of my Dropbox:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2033458/LCM/LCM_PowerPoint_clean_4.pptx

*Language, Culture & Myth* is now available from Amazon at
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Language-Culture-Myth-Power-Word-ebook/dp/B01D24C9CM

There is a Wikipedia article about Prof. Shoham at
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shlomo_Giora_Shoham
If you really want to know more about Prof. Shoham, get a copy of *Martyrs
and Heroes *at

[ha-Safran] Rites of Synagogue Liturgy

[Celestina Levant]

Hello
We would like to introduce a new book published by the World Union of Jewish 
Studies:
Rites of Synagogue Liturgy
By Leopold 
Zunz
Prayer customs and the treasures of liturgical poetry brought to Israel from 
the Diaspora have been the subject of diverse studies in the past few years, 
encompassing every community and its customs, every community and its poetry. 
This classic study, a translation of Leopold Zunz's Ritus des synagogalen 
Gottesdienstes, reviews the history of prayer customs of diverse communities 
from ancient times to the nineteenth century. The author examines the 
uniqueness of each community, both through the wording of the permanent prayers 
and through the treasures of liturgical poetry recited in the Middle Ages and 
the Modern Era. Relations and influential factors between ethnic groups are 
discussed in detail.
The introductory chapters present the history of Jewish prayer since the Geonic 
period, including the formation of the first prayer books; the creation of 
communal manuscripts; the impact of print; and the creation of fixed forms of 
public prayer. The study takes account of: books of Jewish law dealing with 
prayer; books of customs; exegeses on prayer and liturgical poetry; 
translations of Hebrew prayer into other languages; additions to and deletions 
from liturgical texts; the status and role of the prayer leader; the influence 
of mysticism and kabbalah; the influences of censorship and the Enlightenment. 
Other chapters are dedicated to the prayers of Yom Kippur, the status of 
Slichot prayers, debates on integrating liturgical poetry into public prayers, 
and a description of the Karaite prayer book.
For many years, Zunz's study, originally published in 1859, served as a 
fundamental textbook for research on the history of prayer. This contemporary 
Hebrew translation includes research updates, many clarifications, and detailed 
indexes; among them an index of prayers, an index of prayer customs, an index 
of liturgical poetry, and an index of early manuscripts and printings of the 
prayer books mentioned in the study. In addition, the Hebrew edition includes 
notes and additions found on the author's personal copy, never to have been 
published before.

Re: [ha-Safran] Israelí Movie Question

[Cara]

Thank you to Gabor for mentioning us in this post.

We are among the leading distributors of Israeli and Jewish documentaries from 
around the world.

Please feel free to take a look at our entire online catalogue – and I would be 
glad to put together a list of films for anyone who need that.

 

Regards from Jerusalem,

Hi,

 

Here are some ideas for streaming movies, although none of them are 
"netflix"-like as they don't offer unlimited movies for  of one (low) monthly 
fee. 

 

The Jewish Film Institute makes a new short film available each month on its 
YouTube channel ( https://www.youtube.com/user/SFJewishFilmFestival/videos ) 
You can learn more about them from their blog: 
http://jewishfilminstitute.org/blog/

 

There are several organizations offering movies "On-demand", where you can 
watch them right away through the internet, after you pay. Here is a short list:

Go2Films: http://www.go2films.com/Watch-now

Israel Film Center: http://www.israelfilmcenterstream.org/

Jewish Film Institute: http://jewishfilminstitute.org/films/jfi-on-demand/

Ruth Diskin Films: http://www.ruthfilms.com/films/vod.html/

UK Jewish Film festival: http://ukjewishfilm.org/films/video-on-demand/

 

Regards,

Hi all,

 

I have a challenge that I was hoping you might be able to help think through. 
At my school, the Hebrew Department uses Israeli movies as one pedagogical tool 
for learning the language. We have a server that the movies are uploaded to and 
students can watch the movies from the library or computer lab. The server is 
only accessible to students while they are at school, and it is how we comply 
with copyright for these movies. Next year, all students will be bringing their 
own laptops to school and we would like students to be able to watch these 
Israeli movies from their own laptops. 

 

Do any of  you know of a place that we could upload movies and have students 
watch on their own devices and still be in copyright or of a Netflix like 
service for Israeli movies?

 

Thanks in advance,
