Re: [ha-Safran] NYT article on libraries
A few years ago I read in a Jewish newspaper that JCCs around the country offer less and less Judaic programs because the leadership feels that it does not attract young customers. I fear that Center libraries and some synagogue libraries are pressured to fill the void so with dwindling budget they purchase less books and offer more programs. The space gradually changes. Some shelves disappear to make room for meetings and programs spaces. It also changes the roll of the librarian from reference services to program directors. I wonder what we, as librarians in Judaic libraries, can learn from this article. Thank you Lisa, for sharing it with us.

Re: [ha-Safran] synagogue library budget question
I found out from experience that it is all a matter of priorities. Unfortunately AJL cannot fight it. Many time I heard: "We do not have money" and a week later a person was hired for another position because the Board was convinced that it is needed. Librarians and library volunteers, by nature, are not good in marketing themselves. It takes more than we have includes hutzpah and energy.

Re: [ha-Safran] Play about Jews and slavery
As mush as I Know the author is a man Matthew Lopez. The two slaves, who remain in the house after the family disappeared thought that the son was killed in the war. When he returns the slave says the blessing thanking God who resurrects the dead Mehayeh hamaiteem. Later, in order to help the soldier regain his faith they are trying to make a Seder. With no dishes or food they do what they can. So, sorry, Alex, I disagree with you about the author. The Torah laws on slavery, as you write below, may be right, but, it has nothing to do with the situation of slaves in the South a day after Lincoln was assassinated.

Shalom to all the futures AJL conference attendees. If you know someone who is coming to the conference for the first time please forward the message to her/him. This person might not be familiar with Hasafran. For the past fifteen years it became our tradition to hold a meeting for first time attendees before the official opening of the conference. We had such positive feedback in previous years that we know that this session is meaningful and helpful to all who came to the orientation meeting. If this conference is your first time or if you wish to make you feel at home. Please join other first-timers, AJL officers and me on Sunday, June 16 at 3:30pm in the Forum room (room might change, please check the program book). You will learn about the history and structure of AJL. We will help you choose the best sessions for you (if you wish), you will have a chance to ask questions and, most of all, you will make friendships that last a lifetime. Please let me know if you plan to come. If you are unable to make it on Sunday please contact me by email or by phone 704-365-3313 with any questions or concerns. I am looking forward to a stimulating afternoon on Sunday June 16th.

Haim, Congratulation ! This is a fun job. Keep in mind that a synagogue library is not an academic institution. When I started working in a synagogue library I got carried away and purchased resources that never circulated. AJL developed several bibliographies of basic books for synagogue libraries. A few things to take into consideration are: Who will use the library ? Congregants, Religious school teachers, Religious school students, Fiction readers, people who plan to become Jews by choice, non-members etc. I will involve the Rabbis as well. Please check the bibliography bank on AJL website, but, keep in mind that the bibliographies' authors did not update them. The list is searchable and can be very helpful.

Re: [ha-Safran] collectible children's books
Fred, I just finished revising the chapter on library policy for the revised edition of the booklet HOW TO ORGANIZE A JEWISH LIBRARY. I checked several libraries policies. A few of them, in their policy for accepting book donation (used or new) mention that the librarian's advance approval is appreciated. We asked for a list, but, could not turn down boxes that landed at our door. I recommend it for every library. For more suggestion please see AJL wiki on our website. Amalia.

The replies interest me too. We had off sight services to the synagogue which was located in a separate building and to a senior citizens center.

Re: [ha-Safran] old magazines, etc.
Rose, I believe that if you'd I not have index for the magazines articles you will use other sources to locate an article from a magazine. In my opinion synagogue library is not an academic library. I relied on inter-library loans and found that my AJL friends were very helpful when I needed resources that the synagogue/center library did not keep. Sorry about the EJ volume.

Andrea Rapp set up a repository of classic children's literature. She can be reached at ar...@wisetemple.org . She is in Cincinnati, OH Amalia Warshenbrot. From: Rachel Haus Sent: Tuesday, December 03, 2013 12:34 PM To: Hasafran@lists.service.ohio-state.edu Subject: [ha-Safran] Older books that will never sell! Dear Hasafranim, For the past 7 years I've held a new and used book sale to benefit the library. Every year I haul out some of the same old tired outdated books that no one ever buys (though there are some exceptions, which always surprise me). I'm talking about politics and sociology 30-40 years out of date, old children's fiction and non-fiction that is rarely touched and worst of all, reference (even really nice stuff). I know I could truck all this to our public library, but some of the children's literature might be historically valuable. I seem to remember someone was setting up a repository of classic children's literature. Where is that and what kind of items are of interest?

Re: [ha-Safran] Book Thief
Paula, First let me tell you that I was delighted to see your name on Hasafran. Most of our YA books collect dust on the shelves. When I moved it to the adult section not even one copy stayed on the shelf. I can imagine how Toby felt when parents read it to their 3rd-4th grade "mature" children. Will they take them to the movie? I think that the intelligent kids under the age of 14 will get the aspect of friendship, but the rest will be lost.

Re: [ha-Safran] Sydney Taylor Book Award Winners
Mazal tov to the winner and thank you to the committee members. Their remarks add to the appreciation of the titles. Amalia Warshenbrot AJL, SSC President From: Aimee Lurie Sent: Tuesday, January 21, 2014 10:49 AM To: hasafran@lists.service.ohio-state.edu Subject: [ha-Safran] Sydney Taylor Book Award Winners Dear Friends: It is my pleasure to announce that Laurel Snyder and Catia Chien, author and illustrator of The Longest Night: A Passover Story, Patricia Polacco author and illustrator of The Blessing Cup, and Neal Bascomb, author of The Nazi Hunters: How a Team of Spies and Survivors Captured the World’s Most Notorious Nazi, are the 2014 winners of the Sydney Taylor Book Award. The Sydney Taylor Book Award honors new books for children and teens that exemplify the highest literary standards while authentically portraying the Jewish experience. The award memorializes Sydney Taylor, author of the classic All-of-a-Kind Family series. The winners will receive their awards at the Association of Jewish Libraries Conference in Las Vegas, Nevada this June. Snyder and Chien will receive the 2014 gold medal in the Sydney Taylor Book Award’s Younger Readers category for The Longest Night: A Passover Story, published by Schwartz & Wade, an imprint of Random House Children’s Books. Written in gentle verse, the tumultuous days leading up to the Jews flight from Egypt are described from the perspective of an unnamed slave girl in this beautifully illustrated story. It provides a unique introduction to the Passover holiday for young readers in an honest, but age-appropriate way. Committee member Charna Gross notes: “We all know about our history as slaves in Egypt, the ten plagues, the Exodus, and the splitting of the Red Sea. But in Snyder’s retelling, accompanied by Chien’s dream-like illustrations, we are somehow transported to the rusty red banks of the Nile, witnessing each plague. This book is a marvel.” The award in the Older Readers category will be presented to Patricia Polacco for The Blessing Cup, a Paula Wiseman Book, published by Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers, an imprint of Simon & Schuster. In this prequel to The Keeping Quilt, Polacco shares the story of another treasured family heirloom. The miraculous journey of the remaining teacup from a china tea set, deliberately left behind when her Jewish ancestors were forced to leave Czarist Russia, from the shtetl to America will strike an emotional chord with readers. “I was moved to tears reading this book. The gorgeous illustrations and heartfelt story remind readers of the importance of sharing from generation to generation our own family histories and the incredible sacrifices made by our ancestors to start new lives in America,” said committee chair, Aimee Lurie. In 1988, The Keeping Quilt was the Sydney Taylor Book Award Winner for Younger Readers. Neal Bascomb will receive the 2014 gold medal in the Sydney Taylor Book Award’s Teen Readers category for The Nazi Hunters: How a Team of Spies and Survivors Captured the World’s Most Notorious Nazi published by Arthur A. Levine Books, an imprint of Scholastic. A stunning account of the spy mission to capture Adolf Eichmann by an elite team of Israeli spies is dramatically brought to life by Neal Bascomb. According to committee member Barbara Krasner, "It is obvious that he spent decades conducting meticulous research on several continents to produce this winning and chilling narrative. Bascomb has set a new nonfiction gold standard for young readers.” Six Sydney Taylor Honor Books were named for 2014. For younger readers, two Honor Books were selected, both published by Kar-Ben a division of Lerner Publishing Group: Stones for Grandpa by Renee Londoner with illustrations by Martha Avillés and Rifka Takes a Bow by Betty Rosenberg Perlov with illustrations by Cosei Kawa. The Boy on the Wooden Box: How the Impossible Became Possible...on Schindler’s List by Leon Leyson with Marilyn J. Harran and Elisabeth B. Leyson (Atheneum Books for Young Readers, an imprint of Simon & Schuster Children’s Publishing Division) and Dear Canada: Pieces of the Past: The Holocaust Diary of Rose Rabinowitz, Winnipeg, Manitoba, 1948 by Carol Matas (Scholastic Canada) garnered recognition as an Honor Books for Older Readers. For Teen Readers, the honor goes to Dancing in the Dark by Robyn Bavati (Flux, an imprint of Llewellyn Worldwide) and The War Within These Walls by Aline Sax with illustrations by Caryl Strzelecki and translated by Laura Watkinson (Eerdmans Books for Young Readers). In addition to the medal-winners, the Award Committee designated thirteen Notable Books of Jewish Content for 2014. Attached is a list of all of the winners, including the notables.

Re: [ha-Safran] Hors D'oeuvres, dessert and in-between
We missed those who were unable to attend the AJL conference in Las Vegas. It was amazing to see the high quality speakers who volunteered their time to share with us their knowledge and talents. The key words are volunteers and donors. Thank you to all who volunteered to make this conference a success and especially to Suzi Dubin the only AJL member in Vegas. Thank you also to Dan Wyman for donating the mugs and name-tugs and to Eric Kline, EBSCO and Ker-Ben publishing for their annual donations to offer awards to those who promote Jewish literacy. I love hors D'oeuves. They are small but satisfying. While this conference was smaller (half a day shorter and a few less sessions) it was satisfying and it serves as the appetizer for 50th conference in Silver Springs MD (near Washington DC) in June 2015.

Re: [ha-Safran] Jewish Food Fiction
Lauren,. Since you are intrigued let me give you the background: Tamar Myers is a Jew by choice, born to a Jewish father and a Mennonites mother. She wrote many YA books, but, also has a series called Pennsylvania Dutch mysteries with recipes. There is not much Yiddishkiet in the book and the recipes are not for typically Jewish food, but the narrator is an Amish/Mennonite who is married to a Jewish guy who has an “interesting” Jewish mother. Myers knows how to make you laugh. I take her books for long flights. Try the DEATH OF PIE or BUTTER SAFE THAN SORRY or BATTER OFF DEAD. You can tell by the titles that Myers has a great sense of humour.

Mirele, I hope that your questions will generate a discussion on Hasafran. I don't know the book. I can only suggest to create a category for books that you keep behind your desk. You, than, can suggest it to a teacher, student or adult upon demand. It is a partial censorship, but, if nothing else, it will protect you from complains by concerned parents and supervisors.

[ha-Safran] Re New book “Out of the Shoebox”
AJL received this mail from Israeli author Yaron Reshef, I dedicated the last last three years to finding information about my family. I succeeded to find a shipment document with victims’ names of the last transport of Jews from Ternopol train station to Belzec. It is the only document that exist. Most of my relatives were killed in Belzec. The book creates memories of unknown people and it reads like a detective story. The book was published in Israel on May 2014. It tells the story of people immigrating to Palestine in early 20th century, their families’ destiny and ends with my generation (2nd generation of WW2 survivors), people like me, that are looking to take the memories of their families “out of the shoeboxes”.

Re: [ha-Safran] Thank you Toby Rossner
Thank you Toby Rossner on behalf of AJL Board, Council and the entire membership for years of service to AJL. Toby retires from her latest position as the Chapters Chatter editor. Toby served in this position since 2007. As past chair of the Chapters Relations, I know that Toby worked diligently to collect the “chatters” edit them and send them to the editors of the AJL Newsletter. It was a pleasure working with her. As a matter of fact Toby recruited me to my first position for AJl as the founder of the Bibliography Bank. Toby also served as treasurer, SSC VP, AJL VP and president. In her email to let us know that she chose to step down she wrote: “My positions on the Board have given me new-found skills and the confidence to be willing to try new challenges. Along the way, I have developed deep friendships with colleagues and a network of information sources throughout the world”. As Thanksgiving starts tomorrow we have a lot to be thankful for to Toby. I personally thank her for her friendship and guidance.

Re: [ha-Safran] News from the Price Library of Judaica
Mazal tov ! Amalia From: Jefferson, Rebecca Sent: Wednesday, January 14, 2015 9:44 AM To: mailto:hasaf...@lists.acs.ohio-state.edu Subject: [ha-Safran] News from the Price Library of Judaica News from the Price Library of Judaica at the University of Florida SMATHERS LIBRARIES AT UF RECEIVE $500,000 NATIONAL ENDOWMENT FOR THE HUMANITIES CHALLENGE GRANT AWARD One of 16 awarded nationally, the grant will support efforts to raise an endowment to preserve and provide access to hidden and endangered Jewish heritage materials The University of Florida George A. Smathers Libraries have received a prestigious National Endowment for the Humanities Challenge Grant of $500,000 to build an endowment fund that will broaden access to humanities resources relating to the Jewish experience in Florida, Latin America and the Caribbean. The matching award provides a $1 match for every $3 raised. The NEH Challenge Grant project, “Repositioning Florida’s Judaica Library,” will raise $1.5 million in matching funds to enable the creation of the Endowment for Resources on Jewish Heritage in Florida, Latin America and the Caribbean in support of strategic acquisitions, digital collection building, outreach programs and research. Judith Russell, dean of University Libraries, and Rebecca Jefferson, head of the Price Library of Judaica, are leading the effort. “We are excited to be at the forefront of a project that will transform our knowledge about the Jewish people of this region and greatly inform many other disciplines within the humanities,” Russell said. UF alumnus and Miami entrepreneur Gary R. Gerson, who provided the first funds to build the endowment, said he feels certain the Jewish community “will be interested in preserving the history of diasporic influences made by Jewish people transplanted to Florida.” The NEH Challenge Grant represents a second historic award for the Libraries. The first was in 1977, when the NEH inaugurated the Challenge Grant program for the purchase of books and materials that established the Isser and Rae Price Library of Judaica. Today, the Price Library is recognized as the best Jewish Studies research collection in the southeastern United States. This second award of $500,000 recognizes that with the Price Library as its foundation, the University of Florida is singularly well-suited to lead a new national and international effort to acquire resources that will promote and support greater study of the Jewish diaspora in the region. To support this exciting challenge award and contribute to the Endowment for Resources on Jewish Heritage in Florida, Latin America and the Caribbean fund, please contact Kathleen Boudreau, director of development at the George A. Smathers Libraries at boudr...@ufl.edu or 352-273-2505.
