[ha-Safran] Jewish resources for mental health and emotional support
Hi Everyone, In light of current events, my library is creating a support resource handout for patrons from marginalized groups.

Re: [ha-Safran] Hasafran Digest, Vol 569, Issue 2
My response is in reference to the following query: Hello! Is anyone aware of the existence of a Yiddish map of Chicago? Either a stand alone map or a map published as part of a larger work? Thanks in advance for any leads, Anne Anne K. Knafl, Ph.D. (she/her) Bibliographer for Religion, Philosophy, and Jewish Studies The University of Chicago Library Dear Anne, If you haven't yet contacted the Asher Library at the Spertus Institute (located in downtown Chicago), the Chicago Jewish Archives, or the Chicago Jewish Historical Society, I would definitely try tapping into these different local resources. I formerly worked at the Asher Library and read Yiddish. There were definitely Yiddish writers in Chicago and the daily Yiddish newspaper, der Forverts, once had a branch located on the West Side of Chicago. But I do not recall actually seeing a Yiddish language map that specifically focused on Chicago. If you were to conduct a search for "map of Chicago" in Yiddish -- something I myself have already done online (but come up empty) -- it should read as follows in Hebrew characters: מאפע פון שיקאגע or מאפע פון שיקאגא Incidentally, if you do track down such a map, it would be wonderful if you would please share it via URL or a scanned attachment with the rest of us here.

Hi Everyone! Archaeologists have uncovered a cache of 2,200-year-old silver coins near the Dead Sea, which they say is the first physical proof that Jews fled to the Judean Desert during the upheaval and persecution under Hanukkah villain Antiochus IV Epiphanes. I posted the article, images and videos of the Israel Antiquities Authority announcement at: jr.co.il/only-in-israel/2200-year-old-coin-hoard.htm Chanukah starts this Sunday night, December 18. I updated the Chanukah links at: jr.co.il/hotsites/chanukah.htm I added many new videos to the 1,100+ Chanukah video list at: jr.co.il/videos/chanukah-videos.htm Additional videos will be added this week.

I was a student of his at JTSA in the late 1970's and early 1980's. I was so fond of him. He was such a fine person. I was a student in his class on Mahzor Yom Kippur and later had the pleasure of knowing him as a librarian myself. We in AJL ( The Association of Jewish Libraries)heard many fascinating and informative talks that he gave to our professional librarians' group at their many meetings and conferences over the years. I worked at JTS in the music library from 1989 -1993 and even though he was not the Seminary Librarian for all those later years, he was often there and I had occasions to chat with him. He was such a memorable person and I was so fortunate to have known him. May his memory be a blessing always. Please share this message of comfort with you family.
