[ha-Safran] Book program idea

[Arlene Ratzabi]

Hello
I would like to know if any of you have heard of or used the book and puppet 
package entitled "The Gelt Giving Golem" for your libraries or schools? Have 
you invited the author to your school or synagogue? It utilizes the character 
of the golem from Prague to reward good deeds during Hanukkah. 

I would appreciate any and all feedback. 

Thanks very much and continue to enjoy your summer!

[ha-Safran] Need help with a bibliographic citation

[Joseph Galron-Goldschlaeger]

Colleagues,
I need some help in locating an article by Prof. Moshe Pelli on a book
of/on Elie Wiesel.
The title of the article is: "Elie Wiesel: The Right to Question" and it
was published in the *Melbourne Chronicle* (Australia) in March-April *1978
or 1979*, pages 12-15.

I have only a citation that says 1979, but there is another article by
Prof. Moshe Pelli that was published in Hebrew in the Hebrew periodical
*Bitzaron* (New York) that was published in March-April 1978 on Elie Wiesel.
I will apreciate any help in finding an answer.

Yossi

[ha-Safran] Legal Thinking in the Lithuanian Yeshivoth

[Celestina Levant]

Hello,
We would like to introduce a new title published by The Hebrew University 
Magnes Press:
Legal Thinking in the Lithuanian Yeshivoth
The Heritage and Works of Rabbi Shimon Shkop
By Shai 
Wozner

An intellectual revolution took place in the Lithuanian Yeshivoth in the last 
quarter of the nineteenth century: a new study method took yeshiva students by 
storm. The new method focused on the study of the legal field in Talmud, it 
raised new questions which have not been asked before and developed a 
sophisticated analytical legal thinking, which dealt with the analysis and 
definition of norms and legal-halachic concepts in Talmudic literature. All 
this turned the Yeshivoth into Talmudic law colleges.

The book lists characteristics of the new study method through the teachings of 
Rabbi Shimon Shkop (1859-1939), one of the most original and influential rabbis 
in the Lithuanian Yeshiva world. For over fifty years Shkop taught the new 
study method he developed and the legal Fundamentals that explain the way 
Talmudic law worked, to a great many students in the Yeshivoth of Telšiai 
,Malech, Brańsk and Grodno.

The book examines key characteristics in the legal thought and theory of Rabbi 
Shimon Shkop and traces the similarities and differences between the legal 
thought of Yeshivoth as opposed to the West. It integrates issues of law, 
justice and culture, the history of Israel in modern times, history of ideas, 
philosophy of Halacha and Talmud study.
