Re: [ha-Safran] Book hunt

[Lisa Silverman]

Rachel,
I loved that book, too. I think it is this one, but I don’t remember a cat and 
we no longer own it---it’s from 1959. I’m sure someone out there can still find 
it in their library and tell you if there is a cat involved!

Subject: [ha-Safran] Book hunt

Dear Hasafranim,

A patron asked me about a children's book he grew up with that he'd love to 
have for fun. Unfortunately, he can't remember the name, but here are some 
clues:

1) The book was published in the 50s or 60s, with the usual 2-3 tone 
illustrations of that period.

2) The title might have had "challah" in it.

3) The story takes place in a bakery with a missing challah and a cat.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Rachel Haus

[ha-Safran] Books by Dvora Omer

[Hasafran]

I just saw a reply email and realized I totally forgot the books by Dvora
Omer.

She wrote dozens of books, some of which were translated into English
including:

Rebirth (about Ben Yehuda’s son),
A book on Ben Gurion and one on Herzl,
All for middle school youth and probably over 49 years old

If you can add them to the list I made, I’d appreciate it

Re: [ha-Safran] A partial/beginning list of books with biographies of famous Jews/especially Israelis

[Sussman, Joanna]

Dear Safranim,

I’ve found this discussion about the interest in Jewish – and Israeli – bios 
for young people very interesting and am taking these suggestions to heart. 
Stay tuned.

Happy Hanukkah,

Subject: [ha-Safran] A partial/beginning list of books with biographies of 
famous Jews/especially Israelis


About a month ago, my ten year old grandson asked for some books about Israelis 
for Hanukkah.   So I started the search, and was shocked to see how few 
biographies exist for the ages of 10—15.  I found a book by David Adler on 
Golda Meir, one on Ariel Sharon written in 2006 by Norman Finkelstein,  and a 
book on Ilan Ramon.   Then I looked at books with short entries about a number 
of famous Jews in them and found that most of the books were written about 20 
years ago or longer.  I put out a request for book titles and details and I am 
including them on this entry as I found that there is a huge interest in this 
topic as well as of famous Jews in general.  Most of the books below are about 
Americans, but most include Israelis and other Jews—mostly from Europe.  They 
are quite accessible to youth but there is a strong need for updates to many.



Jewish Heroes and Heroines:  Their Unique Achievements by Darryl Lyman, 1996

I like this book because it organizes the short biographies by topics starting 
with:

 Government and Military Service

 Civil Rights, Feminism, and Jewish Activism

 Law

 Religion

 Biological Sciences

 Physical Sciences (a very large section)

 Social Sciences

 Technology

 And 8 more categories, ending in Sports and Games

Unfortunately few are Israeli.

  The Israelis including in this book are:  Menachem Begin, David 
Ben-Gurion, Shimon Peres, Yitzhak Rabin, Chaim Weitzman, Naomi Leibowitz, 
Martin Buber, S. Y. Agnon, Yael Arad,

 There are also very short paragraphs about the following Israelis:  
Trumpeldor, Sharansky, Ida Nudel,Yonatan Netanyahu, Benjamin Netanyahu, Yigal 
Alon,  Miriam Ben-Porat, Tehilla Lichtenstein, Hannah Rachel, Eliezer Lipa 
Sukenik, Joel Engel, Itzhak Perlman, Shulamit Ran, Josef Rosenblatt, Naomi 
Shemer,

   The 32 entries are between four and 12 pages long of which many area Israeli

 (The Table of Contents can be seen on Amazon)

 Extraordinary Jewish Americans by Brooks, 1998

It starts with Haym Salomon and goes to Jerry Steinfeld.  It looks to me about 
a good compilation as a start.  It would help if it were updated and included 
people in the sciences and other areas too.  The table of Contents is also on 
Amazon.



 In the Promised Land:  Lives of Jewish Americans, by Doreen Rappaport. 2005

13 famous Jewish Americans and what they did that made a difference--it 
includes Houdini, Jonas Salk and Ruth Bader Ginsberg.



Golden Age of Jewish Achievement by Steven Pease--this book was written for 
Adults.  The table of contents is also available on Amazon and names are by 
topics.  I think it mainly focuses on people in the US.



Pride of Our People: The stories of one hundred outstanding Jewish men and
women by David Gross, 1979 by Doubleday

It was reissued (1991)and cut down from 100 to 36 people.



Great Jewish Men  by Slater, originally published about 1996 and 
reissued/Updated in 2012

The entries are listed alphabetically by last name and the table of contents is 
on Amazon.

Israelis include Agnon, Mordechai Anielewicz,  (not Israeli but Kibbutz Yad 
Mordechai is named for him), Begin, Ben-Gurion, Ben-Yehuda,  Bialik, Ei Cohen, 
Dayan, Teddy Kollek, Amos Oz, Rabin, Sharansky, Weitzman, Yigdal Yadin.

Thumbnail sketches include these Israelis:  Yaakov Agam, Ahad Ha-am, Yehuda 
Amichai, Yitzkah Ben-Zvi, Abba Eban, Chaim Herzog, Binyamin Netanyahu, Shimon 
Peres, Ariel Sharon, Adin Steinsatz, Ezer Weitzman



Great Jewish Women by Slater, originally published about 1996 reissued/updated 
in 2015

The entries are also listed alphabetically and the table of contents is on 
Amazon.

Israelis include Sara Aronson, Shulamit Aloni, Yael Arad, Rahel Blewstein, 
Nechama Liebowitz, Golda Meir, Hannah Rachel Verbemacher, Ida Nudel, Hannah 
Senesh, and maybe one or two more I missed.  There are also 28 pages of 
thumbnail sketches at the end.
