[ha-Safran] Conference Evaluation form

[Shirazi, Gail]

Was an evaluation form sent for the NY conference?   With the discussion on 
Hasafran about how and what we can do to keep libraries and our organization 
alive,  the form will give an opportunity for people to put forward some new 
ideas for next year.

One comment I have now---we should work very hard next year to do outreach and 
involve the public (Sunday programs, open sessions to a number of students, 
more outside participants as volunteers and speakers etc).  We should not miss 
the opportunity at the Boston conference.

Thanks again to everyone who worked so hard on this year's conference.

Gail

[ha-Safran] Brookly Jewish Historical Society--: Biegeleisen Books-Oral History

[Shirazi, Gail]

Dear Tina, That would be great. They would send out a professional trained to 
take interviews and they are in the "area".  People would logically go there to 
research bookdealers in Brooklyn. Maybe they would even give copies to other 
institutions. GREAT idea. Thanks for following up with this. Gail

I've mentioned it also to the Brooklyn Jewish Historical Initiative (BJHI) - 
http://brooklynjewish.org/  and they also seem interested in working on a 
project and possibly having a speakers' event to go along with it.

Subject: [ha-Safran] Biegeleisen Books-Oral History

While in NY, Galina and I visited Biegeleisen Books in Brooklyn.  We had the 
chance to meet Aaron Biegeleisen  (the nephew) and Mr. Biegeleisen (the 
senior-who just celebrated his 90th birthday). We enjoyed listening to the 
stories he told about  how his grandfather came to this country and set up the 
business in the early 1900s.  They even have a file of letters, invoices and 
other ephemera dealing with the store that dates back to the "early days". It 
would be wonderful if someone in NY could take senior  Biegeleisen's oral 
history and video it.  The firm has been such a part of the Judaica book scene, 
it would be a shame to miss this opportunity. We did mention to both of the 
Biegeleisens that it would be a wonderful thing to have done.

I'm am hoping someone will like the idea and do it. Maybe the NY Jewish 
Historical Society or some other organization-even a senior high school 
project. It would be wonderful to have.

Just a thought-Gail

[ha-Safran] The Legal Status of the Mother in the Ancient Near East and the Bible

[Celestina Levant]

Hello,
We would like to introduce a new publication by The Hebrew University Magnes 
press.
The Legal Status of the Mother in the
Ancient Near East and the Bible
By Lea 
Jacobsen

[http://www.magnes-press.com/NetisUtils/srvrutil_getImg.aspx?unitId=5063] 
Mesopotamian and biblical societies in antiquity were characterized by their 
patriarchal structure. The father was head of the family unit, and his rule 
extended over many areas of life. He had broad legal authority over the members 
of his household, including his offspring. It is therefore expected that in the 
ancient sources a dominant father figure would be mentioned alone or almost 
alone. And yet, in Mesopotamian and biblical texts, particularly legal 
writings, the exclusivity of the father is not always explicit. In many of the 
Mesopotamian and biblical writings, especially legal texts, the mother is 
mentioned in various contexts and in a range of realms, mainly those pertaining 
to her offspring. This intriguing phenomenon raised the question whether the 
mother in the ancient Near East and ancient Israel had legal authority in the 
household.
The book The Legal Status of the Mother in the Ancient Near East and the Bible 
sheds light on the world of the ancient mothers and their status within the 
households and the societies in which they lived. This study demonstrates that 
the mother acted by virtue of the legal status she possessed in matters related 
to her sons and daughters' marriages and their behavior towards her.
This book is for those walking in the fields of Mesopotamian and biblical 
research, and for readers interested in the universal subject in question - the 
relations between the mother and her offspring.
