[ha-Safran] Sydney Taylor Book Award

2017-03-27 Thread Ellen Tilman 
I am pleased to announce that Rena Citrin and Marjorie Shuster are joining
the Sydney Taylor Book Award Committee.  They officially begin their four
year committee service at the AJL Conference in June. They have already
started to receive and review submissions for this award.

Rena is teacher/librarian at the Bernard Zell Anshe Emet Day School in
Chicago.  She is active in the Chicago chapter of AJL and is a frequent
children’s book reviewer for AJL.  Marjorie recently became the librarian
at Congregation Emanuel of the City of New York. She has many years’
experience as a day school librarian.

The STBA Committee received amazing applications from a large number of
candidates and had a difficult time selecting only two new members for the
committee.  Everyone who applied was extremely qualified and capable.

We will again seek new STBA members in the late fall of 2017 to replace
several existing members whose service on the committee ends in June 2018.

Please welcome Rena and Marjorie to the committee.

Ellen Tilman

Chair, Sydney Taylor Book Award Committee

[ha-Safran] Night of Fools-Film on Algerian Jewish Underground during WWII-April 2 at American Sephardi Federation, NY

2017-03-27 Thread Shirazi, Gail 
The Night of Fools - NY Sephardic Jewish Film Festival
American Sephardi 
Federation

Sunday, April 2 at 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM EDT



American Sephardi 
Federation
15 W 16th St, New York, New York 10011

· (212) 548-4486
· i...@americansephardi.org
2:00 p.m. TheNight of Fools directed by Rami Kimchi
Docu-Drama, Israel, 2014, 56 min

This film reveals the little-know story of Algeria’s mostly Jewish underground 
movement during WWII. With only 400 volunteers versus the Vichy garrison of 
25,000 troops, the underground succeeded in taking control of Algiers for one 
night, before handing the city over the Americans, who arrive via an amphibious 
landing the next morning.
