I wanted to see if there was interest in this group in developing a shared collection of online resources for Jewish research and reading. I know AJL maintains the Bibliography Bank and some other sites, but none of these meet the need I'd like to address. I'm thinking of subject guides to online resources - primarily free and available to all users - that we all could use to assist our communities. As an example, look at the guides I've started to create for my Temple library at https://sites.google.com/site/tbeaptoslib/guides. In the midst of doing this work, it occurred to me that I was probably reinventing the wheel and this would be done better through a cooperative effort. My idea is to organize a series of generic subject guides that would be relevant and useful to anyone anywhere. Instead of dozens of us researching, building and maintaining our own guides, there'd be one centralized set of guides we'd build and maintain collectively. I can think of a couple of ways to approach this. This could happen under the auspices of AJL - and perhaps branded as an AJL resource - or privately by a group interested individuals. From the technical side, it could be as simple as setting up a generic website, with shared ownership and permissions, that will allow us to create and edit the guides collaboratively. A more sophisticated arrangement - such as LibGuides - would let us share components within a customized framework. I'd be glad to discuss and explore this idea with AJL as a whole or individually with anyone interested in taking this further, Thank you, Lee Jaffe Temple Beth El, Aptos __ Messages and opinions expressed on Hasafran are those of the individual author and are not necessarily endorsed by the Association of Jewish Libraries (AJL) == Submissions for Ha-Safran, send to: Hasafran@lists.service.ohio-state.edu To join Ha-Safran, update or change your subscription, etc. - click here: https://lists.service.ohio-state.edu/mailman/listinfo/hasafran Questions, problems, complaints, compliments send to: galro...@osu.edu Ha-Safran Archives: Current: http://www.mail-archive.com/hasafran%40lists.service.ohio-state.edu/maillist.html Earlier Listserver: http://www.mail-archive.com/hasafran%40lists.acs.ohio-state.edu/maillist.html AJL HomePage http://www.JewishLibraries.org -- Hasafran mailing list Hasafran@lists.service.ohio-state.edu https://lists.service.ohio-state.edu/mailman/listinfo/hasafran __ Messages and opinions expressed on Hasafran are those of the individual author and are not necessarily endorsed by the Association of Jewish Libraries (AJL) == Submissions for Ha-Safran, send to: Hasafran@lists.service.ohio-state.edu To join Ha-Safran, update or change your subscription, etc. - click here: https://lists.service.ohio-state.edu/mailman/listinfo/hasafran Questions, problems, complaints, compliments send to: galro...@osu.edu Ha-Safran Archives: Current: http://www.mail-archive.com/hasafran%40lists.service.ohio-state.edu/maillist.html Earlier Listserver: http://www.mail-archive.com/hasafran%40lists.acs.ohio-state.edu/maillist.html AJL HomePage http://www.JewishLibraries.org -- Hasafran mailing list Hasafran@lists.service.ohio-state.edu https://lists.service.ohio-state.edu/mailman/listinfo/hasafran
[ha-Safran] Looking for Book Suggestions
Hello -- At my school there is a K-2 teacher who is looking for a Yom Kippur book that includes the scapegoat from Leviticus. Do any of you know if there is something out there that fits this bill? She also mentioned wanting something about Maimonides for her class. I think she wants to focus on the Ladder of Tzedakah. Any suggestions? Thank you all so much.

Re: [ha-Safran] Curriculum Suggestions for 3-5 grade?
I have found this age group particularly enjoy Chelm stories. I had several 4th grade classes that would want to hear the same stories over and over -- just like younger grades. Once I overheard an older student telling a younger one that he was really in for a treat because in 4th Grade they got to hear Chelm stories! They love being read to and I think they miss the experience at that age.

I would not assume that the 3rd-5th graders will no longer want to have stories read to them. I am librarian at the Hebrew Day School of Ann Arbor, and our 3rd-5th graders are still VERY enthusiastic about listening to and discussing books that I read aloud. I share with them lots of picture books and chapter books - historical fiction, folktales, midrashim, holiday tales and more. There are many enriching and thought-provoking choices for this age group! The students love to discuss predictions, debate characters' actions, and explore lessons that can be learned. When we do other types of activities, they often ask when they'll get to hear more books, so I try to balance their desire to enjoy literature (and my desire to discuss it with them) with my need to engage them in a variety of library tasks. Perhaps your upper elementary students will be enthusiastic about listening to literature as well!

I would like to expand our small Religious School library program to our 3-5 grade class (yes, all in the same small class) this year.

Since this age means moving beyond my reading stories aloud to them, I’m wondering if anyone has any suggestions for activities, books that might work for discussion, or other ideas for what I might do with the kids.
