texte en français, merci de me le demander!
To: Odile DUPONT o.dup...@icp.frmailto:o.dup...@icp.fr

Dear colleagues, dear friends,
Just coming back home after this first meeting of our Special Interest Group 
IFLA RELINDIAL, I want to thank all of you for your support and help from the 
beginning of the idea of opening a new SIG within IFLA, devoted to libraries 
serving interfaith dialogue.
I will sum up the last developments that have been achieved during this 78th 
World Library and Information Congress of IFLA in Helsinki this year.
The meeting and the papers
The most important, for sure, was our first meeting that gathered librarians 
from 5 continents, 16 countries, for a number of attendees of 36 persons.
Thanks to our speakers, Brother René-Vincent du Grandlaunay and Amélie 
Vallotton, the assembly has been highly interested by the experience of the 
IDEO, Institut Dominicain du Caire, http://alkindi.ideo-cairo.org/ , in Egypt, 
its history, the so important collection developed on the classical Islamic 
culture from the 7th to the 17th century, and the development of the software 
in FRBR to fulfill in a better way, the numerous links of the texts in this 
culture. This library offers to a lot of Muslims students, a real opportunity 
of living in depth the dialogue between Christians and Muslims.
The experience of GlobeTheoLib, http://www.globethics.net/gtl ,  was also 
appreciated: a tool devoted to face the informational and digital gap between 
North and South, to help the contextual and theological search happen, to 
facilitate dialogue between religions.
Many contacts were taken and collaborations already opened:
A publication on libraries serving interfaith dialogue
Thanks to a contact with Myriam de La Rochefordière, sales manager of De 
Gruyter, during the last 77WLIC in Puerto-Rico, I was proposed to take an 
appointment with Dr.Alice Keller, Editorial Director, Library and Information 
Science  History. She received positively my proposal of editing a book about 
the libraries serving interfaith dialogue, and gave me the contact of Michael 
Heaney, editor of IFLA Publications Series, who agreed with the project.

We have now to gather the libraries ready to write a paper for one volume that 
will take place in the green IFLA series collection that gathers items showing 
how libraries change the world.
If you are interested to write a paper on that topic, don't hesitate and send 
me a email!

opening question: Please check each library association of which you are an 
individual member and/or your library is an institutional member. Please check 
all that apply.

The Jewish Theological Seminary, the American Jewish Historical Society and The 
Center for Jewish History. This portal provides access to archival documents 
from five pre-20th century synagogues that are still active in New York City.  
The project was funded by METRO (Metropolitan New York Library Council).

We ask that after testing the portal you complete a brief

Subject: Re: [ha-Safran] productions of Shakespeare during the Holocaust

The All About Jewish Theatre website has an article by Rebecca Rovit about The 
Jewish Kulturbund Theatre in Nazi Berlin (she also wrote a book, The Jewish 
Kulturbund Theatre Company in Nazi Berlin, on the topic), which according to 
the article did productions of Shakespeare's A MidSummer Night's Dream, A 
Winter's Tale and Much Ado About Nothing. The link is 
http://www.jewish-theatre.com/visitor/article_display.aspx?articleID=3681
There's also an interesting discussion about the Jewish Kulturbund's 
productions of Shakespeare in the book Shakespeare's World/World Shakespeares: 
The Selected Proceedings of the International Shakespeare Association World 
Congress Brisbane 2006 (editor Richard Fotheringham, Christa Jansohn, R. S. 
White), which you can read online at Google books by searching for Jewish 
Kulturbund Shakespeare.

I found both this book and Rovit's article to be very helpful when I was 
writing my novel The Banished Heart 
(www.amazon.com/The-Banished-Heart-ebook/dp/B009FMQ0QChttp://www.amazon.com/The-Banished-Heart-ebook/dp/B009FMQ0QC
 ), which  takes place partially in 1933 Berlin and partially in Shakespeare's 
London.
Hatzlacha,

I’d like to bring to your attention a recently published review on the 2012 
book by Frida Shor, Mi-Liḳuṭe shoshanim ṿe-ʻad Brigadat ha-neyar (From 
Likute shoshanim to the Paper brigade: the story of the Strashun library in 
Vilna).

Nathan Cohen’s review is published in ha-aretz Sefarim (Hebrew

out for a potential English translation at 
http://www.haaretz.com/culture/books, in hope this thoughtful review will be

I have a patron looking for an English translation of the cookbook Chadar 
(Heder?) Ochel by Assi Haimhttps://hederochel.jux.com/ and Ofer Vardi,
I love cookbooks. I found the hederochelhttps://hederochel.jux.com/  web page 
which is entirely in hebrew. There are some recipes on the page but I couldn't 
find mention of the cookbook as such.

And while we're on the topic of cookbooks, I must tell you a little story about 
my never ending search for jewish books in Spanish. In November 2012, I had a 
revelation. I calculated that a cheap-o  air ticket in the off-off-off season 
to Israel costs less than the postage when buying the same number of books I 
wanted to buy on-line. So I volunteered for Sar-Elhttp://www.sar-el.org/ and 
bought myself a cheap-o air ticket. Before coming back to Spain on Mar 8 after 
a 3-week stint,  I donated  all my clothes but those on my back to charity and 
converted my entire baggage weight allowance into books bought mostly at 
Steimatzky's.

Mission accomplished. Though I didn't save a cent, at least I broke even and 
got a great vacation to boot. Instead of spending my cash on shipping and 
handling, I shipped and handled myself for the same price. On the weekends, I 
got to look at every single book personally, take advantage of some 2-fer-1 
sales and whatnot. Not only that but I had the best rip-snorting time ever 
folding sheets,  moth-balling sweaters, lacing up boots and issuing gun belts 
to boys and girls over the counter in the Quartermaster Supply Station.

COOKBOOKS
I pawed through every single cookbook on Steimatzky's shelves. I would have 
remembered Heder (Chadar) Ochel for its interesting subject matter had it been  
on the shelves amongst the others, but it was not. Nor was there a single 
cookbook in Spanish (actually it is appalling the large amount of nothing in 
Spanish there is; after 16 years I still can't figure).  I  did find two other, 
cutting-edge, modern cookbooks  translated from the hebrew. These two cookbooks 
have nothing to do with the lore, history, nor recipes of the kibbutz kitchen,  
but I bought the following two cookbook on a whim and have not regretted it. 
They are both excellant and a lot of fun:

ISBN 9789659147205. Sweet Secrets. Carine Goren. ...the Baking Guru of Israel, 
has been whipping up a delicious frenzy across her country wih her Sweet 
Secrets dessert cookbook and hit television program of the same name was 
first published in hebrew in 2006 and it is still going strong, having remained 
on the Israeli bestseller list fror an extraordinary 150 weeks.

[ha-Safran] FW: AJS session seeking participants: research by and for synagogue congregations

[Rachel Leket-Mor]

Shalom all,

This note landed on my virtual desk through the Jewish Studies Network 
(H-Judaic). It seems pertinent to SSC members who may want to present at the 
2013 annual conference of AJS (please note: The panel ideally may also include 
non-academic stakeholders in this field...). Go for it! 

Best wishes,
Rachel

Subject: AJS session seeking participants: research by and for synagogue 
congregations

I would like to organize a session for AJS in Boston next December that will 
address recent trends in Jewish congregational research.  The panel will 
include current thinking and work on how data collection has been used to serve 
congregational process and goals. The focus is on applied research by, for, and 
about Jewish congregations; depending on the papers offered, it could take a 
more theoretical direction.  The panel would benefit from including everything 
from big data to small-scale approaches and projects. 
Papers will also likely frame any applied work within larger issues that face 
congregations now.  Larger issues relate, for example, to collaboration among 
congregations towards effective and affordable programming (that is my topic), 
helping congregations become more internally vibrant, or other issues of 
congregational change and viability.  The panel ideally may also include 
non-academic stakeholders in this field, such as those who fund synagogue 
innovation and vitality projects.  If you would like to present on a panel with 
this topic or have related suggestions, please contact me at she...@gratz.edu.

[ha-Safran] Call for Papers: Judaica Librarianship

[Rachel Leket-Mor]

Call for Papers: Judaica Librarianship
The Association of Jewish Libraries (AJL) is pleased to announce that its 
peer-reviewed journal, Judaica Librarianship, will be published online starting 
with the next issue. The journal will be available to subscribers for 12 months 
following the publication of each issue, while back issues will be freely 
accessible to all on the Internet. Additional information about the new online 
configuration will be released soon.

The Editorial Board of Judaica Librarianship invites submissions for the 
journal’s next issue, scheduled to appear in late 2013. We welcome research 
articles on all theoretical or practical aspects of Jewish Studies 
librarianship and cultural stewardship in the digital age, as well as 
historical studies or current surveys of noteworthy libraries or collections. 
All articles will go through a double-blind peer review process. We also 
welcome extensive reviews of reference works and electronic resources, 
including electronic databases and informational websites, as well as 
thoroughly revised and updated versions of papers presented at AJL Annual 
Conferences or chapter meetings.

We extend our invitation to the global community of scholars and information 
specialists in anticipation of a vigorous discussion on the multifaceted 
intersection of Library and Information Science and Jewish Studies. These are 
some of the relevant topics for article submissions:

  *   Theoretical or empirical studies integrating Library and Information 
Science with aspects of Jewish Studies and related fields that could stimulate 
the scholarly discussion about Jewish libraries. Possible areas of connection 
would include: the History of the Book, Bibliometrics, Literary Studies, Media 
Studies, Jewish languages and Linguistics, Information Technology, Literacy 
Studies, or Social History, to name a few.
  *   Best practices and policies for Jewish libraries of all kinds: school 
libraries (all levels); community center libraries; public libraries; Judaica 
collections in religious institutions; archival collections; museum and 
historical society libraries; research libraries; and special libraries.
  *   Innovative approaches to data curation, discovery tools, or preservation 
of library materials in the digital age.
  *   Descriptive essays and surveys of special collections.
  *   Digital Humanities projects relevant to Jewish Studies and other 
digitization projects.
  *   Historical or bibliographical studies pertaining to Hebraica and/or 
Judaica materials, libraries, or librarians.
  *   Library services for users, including but not limited to reference tools 
and instruction guidelines for teaching Jewish literacy, cultural programming, 
or any other outreach programs.
  *   Collaborative collection development initiatives across library networks.

AJL’s Student Essay Contest
Current students enrolled in any accredited Library and Information Science 
program are encouraged to submit essays relevant to the field of Jewish Studies 
librarianship to AJL’s Student Essay Contest. All student essays will be 
refereed; the winning essay will be considered for publication in the Student 
Essay section of Judaica Librarianship, and the winner will be awarded $300. 
Please refer to the Journal’s Call for Papers for suggested topics.

Focus and Scope
Judaica Librarianship is a peer-reviewed annual published by the Association of 
Jewish Libraries. Situated in the field of Library and Information Science and 
international in scope, the journal provides a forum for scholarship on the 
theory and practice of Jewish Studies librarianship and Information Studies.

Judaica Librarianship seeks to publish research articles and essays related to 
the development and management of Judaica collections in all types of libraries 
and archives, the initiation and coordination of digital curation projects, the 
creation and dissemination of information resources in all formats, and the 
promotion of Jewish information literacy for diverse audiences through various 
outreach activities. The editorial board welcomes submissions on all 
theoretical or practical aspects of Jewish Studies librarianship and cultural 
stewardship in the digital age, as well as historical studies or current 
surveys of noteworthy libraries or collections.

Re: [ha-Safran] Hebrew and Rashi script OCR

[Rachel Leket-Mor]

Shalom all,

At the ASU Libraries, we started to move forward with a plan to digitize the 
IsraPulp Collection for preservation purposes. I am told by the company who did 
some preliminary scans for us that they've used the commercial version of 
ABBYY, however the text files they sent me are not exactly what I expected to 
see.

Has anyone developed a workflow or guidelines for Hebrew OCR? If not, I'll be 
happy to contact you off-list, Chezkie.

Thank you,
Rachel

We have experience with ABBYY OCR software, including RASHI script. I would

Hello,

We are working on a proposal to digitize several thousand pre-1900 Hebrew 
books.  Does anyone have experience with and can you recommend OCR software 
that can handle both regular Hebrew and Rashi script?

I saw that the Society for the Preservation of Hebrew Books 
(www.hebrewbooks.orghttp://www.hebrewbooks.org) used the Ligature software 
for this purpose.  Does anyone have experience with this software?  Does anyone 
have experience with OCR scanners that can handle such a large project with 
materials that have condition issues?

Thanks in advance for your advice!

[ha-Safran] Routes of Sefarad

[Rachel Leket-Mor]

Routed of Sefarad, a new GIS-based, Google-sponsored website was announced 
today by Digital Humanities: http://www.redjuderias.org/google/?l=en.

From the site: The footprints of the Jewish community in Spain span more than 
a thousand years. Explore this heritage in the Network's cities and make your 
own searches in our illustrated interactive timeline. Thanks to the technology 
provided by Google, the visitor can navigate through the layers of 
informations displayed in maps and timelines about the history, culture and 
heritage of the Jews in Spain in a single website. Routes of Sefarad offers an 
interactive experience about Spain's rich Sephardic heritage.
It seems to be a project of the European Association for the Preservation and 
Promotion of Jewish Culture and Heritage (AEPJ). And there's an app for it, 
too! :) -- see http://www.jewisheritage.org/jh/erjh.php?lang=1.

Re: [ha-Safran] Recorded Hebrew books for adults

[Rachel Leket-Mor]

Naomi,

You may want to look at iCast, at http://books.icast.co.il/ for Hebrew 
audiobooks. The site, including its Hebrew interface, may be automatically 
translated into English by Google Translate (it popped up on my screen when 
accessing the site). The results are quite erratic in terms of proper 
translation, but you can try it if you're not comfortable with Hebrew.

I wonder if other AJL libraries would be interested in this service. When I 
visited in Israel last summer, I talked with the owner of iCast about a special 
contract for AJL, but getting no response from members, we didn't pursue it.

Best,
Rachel

[ha-Safran] Wanted: a synagogue librarian to partake in the AJL's IMLS grant

[Rachel Leket-Mor]

Shalom all,

You have probably heard the good news!

The American Theological Library Association (ATLA) has received a 2013 
National Leadership Grants for Libraries Planning Grant from the Institute of 
Museum and Library Sciences (IMLS) in the amount of $46,500. The grant will 
support the project, In Good Faith: Collection Care, Preservation, and Access 
in Small Theological and Religious Studies Libraries, in partnership with the 
Catholic Library Association (CLA) and the Association of Jewish Libraries 
(AJL).

'In Good Faith' is an exciting project that will benefit the members of all 
three associations. Based on earlier research, we know that many small 
theological and religious studies libraries hold valuable unique special 
collections but lack the resources locally to preserve them and make them 
easily accessible to researchers. This project will begin to identify and 
inventory these collections and to seek solutions  - before these materials are 
lost to scholars forever, said Brenda Bailey-Hainer, ATLA Executive Director.

This exciting program could benefit many synagogue libraries and SSC 
librarians. To participate in the program, AJL needs to send two 
representatives to an advisory group of eight - one of AJL's representative 
should come from a synagogue library. We are calling all synagogue librarians 
who would like to be part of this effort, make a difference in their own 
community and library world, and learn through the process: come and join us!

Are you that synagogue librarian? Here are the grant requirements:

*A synagogue librarian from a small library: an independent 
organization with focused collections but limited staff and budgets; $180,000 a 
year in budget for staff, collections, services, and computer technology.

*Acquaintance with small libraries, analytical abilities, and 
enthusiastic approach.

*Willingness to spend one day each in two in-person meetings (first 
meeting will be in Chicago on Feb. 7, 10, or 11; second one in June before the 
AJL Conference), and 10 hours in virtual meetings. All travel expenses paid by 
the grant.

http://www.jewishlibraries.org/main/Resources/Blog/tabid/104/ID/4781/AJL-to-Work-with-ATLA-and-CLA-on-Preservation-Grant.aspx.

We need to hear from you as soon as possible - by Sunday, October 20. Please 
contact Rachel Leket-Mor, at

[ha-Safran] Publishers Weekly story: Founders of Kar-Ben to Retire

[Rachel Leket-Mor]

Hi all,

Since this is not my area, I don't know if it has been published anywhere else 
(sorry for any duplication). The story mentions the 2003 Sydney Taylor Body of 
Work Award.

Hello everyone!
I am an MLS candidate at Queens College interested in creating a LibGuide on

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hebrew Wikipedia, of course. Just type into your search engine the Hebrew year, 
and scroll down to the calendar view:

Subject: [ha-Safran] updated version of Yale Hebrew calendar converter (Hebrew 
month to Gregorian months, not Hebrew calendar date to Gregorian date and vice

Dear safranim,

Many years our friend and colleague Steve Bernstein developed an online Hebrew 
calendar converter for Hebrew months. It did not go into dates within the 
month. This tool was very useful when we are given a Hebrew month and year as a 
date of publication. RDA requires us to be more granular in recording dates of 
publication, and while there are a number of Hebrew calendar converters online 
that convert a Hebrew calendar date to the Gregorian or vice versa, I have not 
been able to locate any that did what Steve's did, aka, convert the Hebrew 
month to the Gregorian months that it spans.

This tool does not function any more, its java script is outdated and I cannot 
get it to work on my computer.

Does anyone know of a similar tool?

Thanks, Heidi Lerner

“The novelty is the quality of the pictures through a system that was created 
especially for the scrolls,” said Pnina Shor, curator and head of the Dead Sea

fragments. They are exactly like the originals. The technology was invented for 
Nasa. It is a living site and a uniquely comprehensive one for documents this

[ha-Safran] Judaica Librarianship Online: Vol. 15

[Rachel Leket-Mor]

Dear AJL members and ha-Safran readers,

On behalf of the editorial board of Judaica Librarianship, AJL’s peer-reviewed 
journal, I am pleased to announce that another back issue of the journal is now 
available online.

Volume 15, published in 2009, is now available together with volume 16/17, 
published in 2011, at http://ajlpublishing.org. To access the content of volume 
15, you have to use the “select a volume” menu on the left bar, then hit 
“browse”. Thanks to our Open Access policy for back issues, we are now reaching 
far more readers than ever - the full-text of our digitized articles has been 
downloaded 2,925 times since we launched the new website! Wow! That increases 
the visibility of AJL and the dissemination of our scholarly output.

The new issue of Judaica Librarianship, volume 18, will mark a new start in the 
life of the journal. This first born-digital issue, appropriately also named 
ḥai (the number 18 in Hebrew gematria), will be published in the next few 
weeks. We request that our big institutional members (research libraries) 
contact us ASAP to arrange for institutional access to the new content.

Thank you,
Rachel

[ha-Safran] Judaica Librarianship, Vol. 18 (2014)

[Rachel Leket-Mor]

Dear colleagues,

I am pleased to announce that Volume 18 of Judaica Librarianship is finally 
published. The journal’s first online issue is available at 
http://ajlpublishing.org. Mazel Tov to AJL!!!

AJL members should use a combination of their full name and email address to 
access the full-text articles. If you have any trouble accessing the journal 
articles, please contact me by replying to this email. Non-member readers of 
ha-Safran may join the association at 
http://www.jewishlibraries.org/main/JoinAJL.aspx.

At this point, two back issues of the journal are freely available at 
http://ajlpublishing.org: Vols. 16/17 (2011) and Vol. 15 (2009). Thanks to our 
Open Access policy regarding back issues, the articles in these volumes have 
been downloaded more than 4,200 times, thus exceeding the circulation of both 
the print issues and the reported downloads from database providers. That means 
that AJL’s impact on the international scholarly community is greater than ever 
before. Now that Vol. 18 is published, I plan to upload the other back issues 
of Judaica Librarianship, including Vols. 1–10 that are now digitized thanks to 
Laurel Wolfson of Klau Library, at the Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of 
Religion in Cincinnati, Ohio.

The production of Vol. 18 would not have been possible without the authors and 
anonymous reviewers who contributed their talents and time to the journal; the 
copyeditors, especially Judy Wolfthal, who helped with polishing the texts; all 
Editorial Board members, especially past Editor-in-Chief Zachary Baker and 
Associate Editor for Reviews Jim Rosenbloom, who were extremely helpful; and 
Nancy Sack and Karen Ulric who assisted with technology-related issues. THANK 
YOU, all!

[ha-Safran] Judith Baskin’s Jewish Studies in North American Colleges and Universities: Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow

[Rachel Leket-Mor]

I find it interesting that Judith Baskin’s recently published essay about the 
present and future state of Jewish Studies in North America (see citation 
below) ignores investments made by universities and Jewish American communities 
in libraries, either by funding librarian lines and/ or supporting material 
budgets.

The only reference to libraries in the article is in the context of ties with 
Israel: “On the professional level, many programs have also welcomed academic 
colleagues from Israel into their midst as speakers and visiting scholars, 
while North American professors frequently spend summers and sabbaticals at 
conferences and libraries in Israel” (p. 10, my emphasis). Jewish Studies 
collections in North American libraries are not mentioned at all. Librarians 
are mentioned as members of AJS (p. 5): “By 2013 the AJS had more than 1,800 
members, most of whom were university faculty, graduate students, independent 
scholars, and library and museum professionals who represented the breadth of 
Jewish Studies scholarship.”

A survey of RAS libraries that support Jewish Studies may be a worthwhile 
project for RAS leadership or for an individual RAS librarian. I welcome an 
evidence-based article about the current state of Jewish Studies libraries in 
North American colleges and universities in the next volume of Judaica 
Librarianship.

[ha-Safran] Judaica Librarianship Call for Papers (Vol. 19)

[Rachel Leket-Mor]

Judaica Librarianship Call for Papers

Situated in the field of Library and Information Science and international in 
scope, Judaica Librarianship (peer-reviewed) provides a forum for scholarship 
on the theory and practice of Jewish Studies and Information Studies. The 
journal seeks to publish research articles and essays related to Judaica and 
Hebraica collections in all types of libraries and archives; the creation and 
dissemination of information resources in all formats, including digital 
curation; the promotion of Jewish information literacy, and Jewish booklore in 
general. A special area of interest for this forthcoming issue is Digital 
Humanities in Jewish Studies, including theoretical perspectives or applied 
prospects.

The editorial board welcomes research articles and essays (double-blind peer 
reviewed) as well as review essays based on reference works or electronic 
resources. Submission deadline for the journal’s next issue (2015) is December 
31, 2014. For online submission and guidelines, see http://ajlpublishing.org.

These are some of the relevant topics for article submissions:

  *   Digital Humanities projects relevant to Jewish Studies.
  *   Theoretical or empirical studies integrating Library and Information 
Science with aspects of Jewish Studies and related fields. Possible areas of 
connection include: the History of the Book, Bibliometrics, Literary Studies, 
Media Studies, Jewish languages and Linguistics, Information Technology, 
Literacy Studies, or Social History, to name a few.
  *   Best practices and policies for Jewish libraries of all kinds: school 
libraries (all levels); community center libraries; public libraries; Judaica 
collections in religious institutions; archival collections; museum and 
historical society libraries; research libraries; and special libraries.
  *   Innovative approaches to data curation, discovery tools, or preservation 
of library materials in the digital age.
  *   Surveys of noteworthy library collections.
  *   Historical or bibliographical studies pertaining to Hebraica and/or 
Judaica materials, libraries, or librarians.
  *   Library services for users, including but not limited to reference tools

[ha-Safran] Judaica Librarianship celebrates one year online

[Rachel Leket-Mor]

Dear colleagues,

A year ago, today (August 7, 2013) we launched Judaica Librarianship on the 
Digital Commons network (bepress), at http://ajlpublishing.org. Since then, we 
uploaded three back issues of the journal (Vols. 14, 15, 16/17) and published 
our first volume online (Vol. 18). All in all, fifty-five articles are 
available online of which most are freely available (Open Access). I am excited 
to report that articles from these volumes have been downloaded 6,775 times and 
the current number of unique users who visited the site-from 72 countries 
around the world-is 2,061. Wow!

The homepage of AJL Publishing features the Paper of the Day, the Top 10 
Downloads, and Recent Additions. Users can also run a full-text search on 
the content of all articles and receive email or RSS notifications for their 
specific searches.

On the journal level (click Judaica Librarianship on the homepage or go to 
http://ajlpublishing.org/jl/), users can access additional information about 
the journal and search content by volume number (slider on the left-hand bar). 
On the article level, users can read abstracts / author information and 
download the content, and also share it via social media (hint... please use it 
to increase altmetrics) or follow the author across the Digital Commons network.

Volume 19 is scheduled for publication in 2015. The deadline for submissions is 
December 31, 2014 (see Call for Papers on the homepage). All research and essay 
articles go through double-blind peer review.

Happy anniversary and happy reading!
Rachel

Re: [ha-Safran] Judaica Librarianship celebrates one year online

[Rachel Leket-Mor]

Sheryl,

These figures do not include data from commercial databases but are based on 
data provided by bepress and Google Analytics we have on our site. Authors of 
Judaica Librarianship articles (digitized or born digital) also receive monthly 
reports from bepress on the downloads of their article/s.

Users find our articles in Google/ Google Scholar and other search engines, 
discovery services such as Summon, Primo, or OCLC, inside the Digital Commons 
network (by disciplines such as Jewish Studies or Library Science, or by 
keywords: http://network.bepress.com/), or by direct links sent by other users. 
I mentioned social media since this is another way to discover scholarship and 
there are services who monitor them.

For us to be able to capture the activity on the site, I ask that when sharing 
content from the journal, please send out links and not PDFs.

Thanks!
Rachel

Re: [ha-Safran] Worldcat Discovery Services replacing Firstsearch - experience? reactions? (RAS)

[Rachel Leket-Mor]

Michelle, you may want to join the 
worldcat-discover...@oclc.orgmailto:worldcat-discover...@oclc.org list to 
discuss and (maybe?) have a saying regarding these changes. Or maybe a RAS 
group wants to have an unofficial member on the list.

I believe that my library’s Bibliographic and Metadata Services department in 
on the list. So far, we decided to link the WorldCat ERM to the old interface, 
the one without the extra databases.

Subject: [ha-Safran] Worldcat Discovery Services replacing Firstsearch - 
experience? reactions? (RAS)

Hi All,

It seems that OCLC will be discontinuing Firstsearch at the end of 2015, and in 
its place, has created Worldcat Discovery Services 
(https://oclc.org/worldcat-discovery.en.html) - which is basically a souped up 
version of worldcat.orghttp://worldcat.org.  It loses much of the 
functionality of Firstsearch, and any return to functionality (at least those 
that they are willing to make), are considered enhancements and will add to 
cost.

Has this come up at any other institutions?  How are people dealing with it?  
Perhaps this is something that should be discussed at AJL?

Michelle

[ha-Safran] Judaica Librarianship 2014 issue now Open Access

[Rachel Leket-Mor]

Dear colleagues,

I am pleased to announce that Volume 18 of Judaica Librarianship published last 
June is now freely available al all (Open Access). Most of ha-Safran listserv 
readers are AJL members who had the opportunity to read the articles a year 
ago, at the time of publication, but please feel free to pass on this message 
and spread the news on social media.

The online platform now provides access to eight issues of the Judaica 
Librarianship. The journal’s homepage at http://ajlpublishing.org displays not 
only the current number of total downloads (over 11,400 since the website was 
launched in August 2013) but also a world map that shows where these downloads 
come from to visualize the impact of the journal. Authors receive monthly 
readership reports of their articles.

On behalf of Judaica Librarianship's editorial board, I thank again all 
authors, anonymous readers, and copy editors who took part in producing Volume 
18. I would also like to thank YOU, JL readers, for your support of AJL’s 
scholarly journal and the Association's mission to promote Jewish literacy and 
scholarship and provide a community for peer support and professional 
development.

“See” you in the next issue, scheduled for publication later this summer,
Rachel

[ha-Safran] Another back issue of Judaica Librarianship is online

[Rachel Leket-Mor]

Dear colleagues,

I’m pleased to announce that another back issue of Judaica Librarianship is now 
uploaded to the journal’s website, at http://ajlpublishing.org. Volume 10 (see 
attached Table of Contents), published in 2000 under the editorship of Bella 
Hass Weinberg, was scanned by Laurel Wolfson of Hebrew Union College, 
Cincinnati, OH together with other back issues that are being uploaded to the 
site. To access Vol. 10, go to the link “Judaica Librarianship” and use the 
slider on the left to select this volume, then hit “browse”.

The content of all 127 items currently published in electronic format may be 
searched on the homepage (Association of Jewish Libraries Publishing: 
http://ajlpublishing.org). While you’re on that homepage, please note the map 
showing weekly live downloads - we’re over 11,000 at this point!

Unlike previous back issues uploaded to the site, I decided together with JL’s 
Editorial Board that instead of identifying and contacting authors who 
published in older back issues—a task that’s becoming more challenging as we go 
forward—we will publish the digital files from volumes #1-10 without notifying 
the authors first. If you are an author of such articles, congratulations! You 
will be receiving monthly usage reports via your email.

The current volume of Judaica Librarianship (Vol. 18) will become available as 
Open Access in June and a new volume will be published later this summer.

Thank you,
Rachel

Another back issue of Judaica Librarianship is online!

Volume 9 was published in 1995 with a wealth of research papers, essays, book 
reviews, letters to the editor, award speeches, and (even) an index to 
advertisers. Articles in the volume represent technological and cataloging 
challenges, highlight collections, rare books, and children’s literature, 
describe libraries, provide bibliographies, review reference works - in short, 
mirror the wonderful work that AJL members are doing every day in their 
libraries for the benefit of readers, researchers, and the Jewish book culture. 
Attached is the Table of Contents for this volume. To access the articles go to 
our homepage at ajlpublishing.org<http://ajlpublishing.org> and select that 
volume from the slider on the left-hand bar.

Thank you for supporting the Open Access initiative of Judaica Librarianship. 
We put AJL’s scholarly output in the hands of thousands of readers: JL articles 
have been downloaded more than 14, times since we launched the online 
platform (see the neat downloads map on the journal homepage). Remember, our 
editorial work is voluntary, but hosting our journal online costs AJL money. 
Please renew your membership to support this important mission of AJL.

Volume 19 will be published soon and be available exclusively to AJL members 
for 12 months.

Thank you,
Rachel

I'm pleased to announce the publication of the 6th edition of Creating a 
Collection by Marlene Schiffman and Leslie Monchar. Creating a Collection is an

invaluable resource for new Judaic libraries. In this revised edition of AJL's 
annotated non-fiction collection development guide, our editors have added many

recent titles and expanded the list of categories. Existing libraries in 
synagogues, centers, schools and academic institutions will also benefit from 
reviewing the list to ensure that their collections are comprehensive and 
up-to-date.



The book can be ordered directly from Amazon at

Best wishes to all for a Happy New Year,

Joyce Levine

The Fanny Goldstein Merit Award Committee of the Association of Jewish 
Libraries (AJL) is delighted to announce that Heidi Rabinowitz Estrin is the 
winner of the 2016 Fanny Goldstein Merit Award [link to 
http://jewishlibraries.org/content.php?page=Fanny_Goldstein_Merit_Award].   The 
Fanny Goldstein Merit Award, named for the librarian, social activist and 
founder of National Jewish Book Month, is bestowed in recognition of loyal and 
ongoing contributions to the Association and to the profession of Jewish 
librarianship.

Born on May 15, 1895 [some sources say 1888], Fanny Goldstein devoted her life 
to books and community. She was the first female Judaica librarian and the 
first woman to direct a branch library in Massachusetts, where she was head of 
Boston's West End Branch for many years. A prominent figure in the Boston 
Jewish community, she is best known as the founder of Jewish Book Week, which 
began when Goldstein organized a display of Jewish books at the Boston Public 
Library in 1925.

Heidi Rabinowitz Estrin has served AJL and the profession of Judaica 
librarianship in numerous capacities and with great distinction for many years. 
 Heidi was President of the Association of Jewish Libraries (2012-2014) in a 
tenure distinguished by inclusivity, strength, and candor.  Heidi was the 
chairperson of the Public Relations Committee (2005-2010) and the Sydney Taylor 
Book Award Committee (2004-2006).  In addition, she serves on the AJL Strategic 
Planning Committee.

Heidi has taken the lead in increasing the visibility of AJL.  Heidi oversaw 
the recording and editing of podcasts of AJL conference sessions and posted 
them online.  She regularly posts photographs, notifications, and announcements 
about AJL on Facebook and other social media and monitors them to maintain an 
active engagement with the AJL and Jewish bibliophile communities.  Recently, 
Heidi has regularly maintained the AJL website and has served as the go-to 
person for website changes at 
www.jewishlibraries.org.

Heidi has been instrumental in promoting Jewish literature.  She has 
interviewed numerous authors on her Book of Life: a Podcast about Jewish People 
and the Books We Read [link to: 
www.bookoflifepodcast.com] and carefully 
edited those interviews into lively listening for lovers of Jewish books 
everywhere.  Having just celebrated its tenth year, these extraordinary 
podcasts are notable for their thoughtful engagement with Jewish texts and 
their authors.   Heidi also spearheaded AJL Reads [link to: 
http://jewishlibraries.org/content.php?page=AJL_Reads], a call-in book club for 
discussion among members around a given book.

And in addition to all of her AJL activities, Heidi works as the Library 
Director and Media Specialist at Congregation B’nai Israel in Boca Raton, 
Florida.  Heidi also has been the long-term president of the South Florida 
Chapter of the Association of Jewish Libraries (link to: 
www.sfajl.org),  tirelessly doing all she can to keep 
this disparate group together and to bring AJL’s message and mission to the 
South Florida region.

To all of these many tasks and initiatives, Heidi brings her characteristic 
warmth, 

[ha-Safran] PJ Library, Phoenix Director

[Rachel Leket-Mor]

Just forwarding... no library degree or experience are mentioned:

"PJ Library, Phoenix is seeking a full time Director who is a passionate 
professional with direct experience in the area of Jewish education and 
programming. The successful candidate will be familiar with the local Phoenix 
Jewish community, day schools, synagogue schools, and early childhood Jewish 
education.

The Director should possess an active understanding of the Jewish world, 
religion, tradition, and values. It is critical to be able to work both 
independently and cooperatively within a team-oriented atmosphere with the 
ability to motivate others."

Re: [ha-Safran] Classics vs. New Books

[Rachel Leket-Mor]

I challenge SSC librarians to submit a paper on "Classic Jewish Books for 
Children: Who's Canon Is It?" (or something along these lines) to AJL's 
scholarly journal.

You do NOT have to be an academic librarian, have a PhD, or having been 
published before to submit to Judaica Librarianship. You do need to follow the 
journal guidelines (see link below), write in a formal style and cite your 
sources. Co-authored articles are welcome, too. Manuscripts go through peer 
review of other librarians and scholars and if published are being read 
worldwide (over 17,000 downloads of JL articles so far).

Feel free to contact me privately for more details,
Rachel

One of kid's teachers recommended that they read 20 pages of a book and if they 
weren't "caught" to put it down. (for pleasure reading obviously) So I tried 
this out at home when I recommended books to them - and it worked well. One of 
the books I had the hardest time convincing my daughter to start was the 
"Confessions of a closet Catholic" but then I had the hardest time getting her 
to put it down for meals.

Subject: Re: [ha-Safran] Classics vs. New Books

I look forward to seeing what books are on people's lists, but this question 
opens the door to a way of thinking when "recommending" books to kids 
altogether.

At this time, when leisure time is so much about tech "devices", I believe it's 
most important to get kids to think of reading as something they want to do, a 
delicious way to spend time.  When students are brought into my library by 
parents or teachers and told "you'll really like this book"... "this is a great 
book"... I just watch the kids go blank.  They've heard it before, they don't 
believe it or don't care. (and of course they'd rather turn to their device.)

So... I have a standard line that I say to the children I deal with (K-6):  
"Look at the books in this section and see what appeals to you based on the 
cover - it's up to you; what looks good?  Read the first page. If you're 
interested enough to turn the page you'll probably like the book!  If it's 
already boring, then put it back and keep looking.  And I'm right here if you 
need help with a word or have a question."  Kids are bossed-around all the 
time; I want to validate their right to make a choice in the library, and also 
be seen as sympathetic.  (Once you have their trust, you can recommend the good 
ones!)

(Boys often need more guidance, and I've had great success with the Rabbi 
Harvey series as gateway-books for non-readers.)

Subject: [ha-Safran] Classics vs. New Books


So Pnina Moed Kass (author of STBA winner Real Time, 2004) sometimes sends me 
interesting librarianship articles, and she just sent this one from The 
Guardian newspaper in England about classics vs new books for kids.

https://www.theguardian.com/books/booksblog/2016/jul/13/stop-pushing-the-same-classic-books-on-children-and-trust-modern-writing?CMP=share_btn_link

Seems like when asked about "must read books" adults tend to answer with their 
own out-of-date favorites. They are not lucky like us librarians, they haven't 
read the more recent kidlit.



So this made me wonder - within the genre of Jewish kidlit, what are your top 
ten classics and what are your top ten "must read books" that were published 
more recently (say within the last 10 years or so)?



Just wondering...

[ha-Safran] Call for Papers: Judaica Librarianship 20 (2017)

[Rachel Leket-Mor]

Dear Colleagues,

Situated in the field of Library and Information Science and international in 
scope, Judaica Librarianship (peer-reviewed) provides a forum for scholarship 
on the theory and practice of Jewish Studies and Information Studies. The 
journal seeks to publish research articles and essays related to the 
development, management, and/or digital curation of Judaica and Hebraica 
collections in all types of libraries and archives, the creation and 
dissemination of information resources in all formats, the promotion of Jewish 
information literacy, and Jewish bibliography and booklore in general. All 
research articles and essays go through double-blind peer review. We now 
welcome submissions for the next volume.

Call for Reviews: Books, Electronic Resources, Exhibits, and Digital Humanities 
Projects
In addition to comprehensive review essays of reference works and electronic 
resources, we welcome thorough reviews of library and museum exhibits pertinent 
to the scope of Judaica Librarianship, and of Jewish Studies digital humanities 
projects. Please contact the editor for all review types except for digital 
humanities projects. The latter refers to substantial undertakings that use 
digital platforms and technologies to advance research in the field of Jewish 
Studies, rather than just digitization projects of books or objects. This new 
journal section will cover reviews of digital humanities projects and 
interviews with practitioners, and serve as a forum for scholars, students, and 
librarians. For more details regarding reviews of DH projects, please contact 
section editor Michelle Chesner at  
mc3...@columbia.edu<mailto:mc3...@columbia.edu>.

Submission deadline for the journal’s next issue (2017) is December 31, 2016. 
For author guidelines for all sections and online submission, see 
http://ajlpublishing.org.

I am pleased to welcome Rebecca Jefferson of University of Florida Libraries to 
the editorial board of Judaica Librarianship. Rebecca is replacing Pearl 
Berger, past AJL President and immediate past Dean of Yeshiva University 
Libraries who had a pivotal role in developing Judaica Librarianship since its 
very inception in the fall of 1983. Thank you, Pearl, for many years of service 
and welcome, Rebecca!

ago (2014). See citation and direct link below:

Subject: Re: [ha-Safran] Questions for Jewish Librarians

I had a similar idea about creating a database of Jewish resources way back in 
1980, when I was AJL President.  I invited colleagues from academic/archival 
libraries, synagogue/school/center libraries, Bureau of Jewish Education 
directors, Jewish publishers, and others.  We called the committee, “Creation 
of National Jewish Bibliographic Data Base.”   We discussed it for quite awhile 
via the U.S. mail.  (We didn’t have the luxury of the Internet or emails 
then!).  We met at national conventions and once even in my Library in Los 
Angeles.  It was of great interest.  I remember that we reached the point of 
discussing potential funding sources!

BUT, then, the 1982 Lebanon War occurred, and all funding priorities were for 
Israel's defenses, of course, and none for future resources.  I think I may 
still have the correspondence hard copies - but doubt that it would be of much 
use from 34 years ago.

I don’t recall hearing anything more about this idea, but I’m long retired from 
the AJL Board.

I like to keep current - thus my joining this ha-Safran discussion.  I still 
think it's a very very worthwhile project and, with today’s technology, it 
seems very doable.

Best of luck to you.
B’Shalom,
Barbara

Subject: [ha-Safran] Questions for Jewish Librarians

A member of the board of the Jewish Virtual Library posed these questions if 
anyone can share their thoughts:

I wanted to know if

libraries around 

[ha-Safran] Volume 8 of Judaica Librarianship (back issue) is online

[Rachel Leket-Mor]

Dear Colleagues,

Just in time for Hanukkah! Volume 8 of Judaica Librarianship, originally 
published in 1994 under the editorship of Bella Hass Weinberg, is now available 
online for your enjoyment. This back issue holds many excellent articles, 
papers presented at AJL’s 28th annual convention (1993), acceptance speeches of 
AJL book awards recipients, book reviews, and more. Feel free to explore the 
wide-ranging content of this back issue (both SSC and RAS) on 
http://ajlpublishing.org<http://ajlpublishing.org/> (click on Judaica 
Librarianship, select this volume from the scroll-down menu on the left, and 
press Browse): children’s literature (seven articles), Judaica collections in 
Bulgaria, Germany, Russia, Yeshivat Har Etzion (separate articles); Hebraica 
book arts; book appraisal; book auctions; the Jewish press in France; three 
LGBT-related articles; library policy in day schools; Arab-American and 
Muslim-American books; many cataloging articles; and even more!

Our 2017 issue is shaping up pretty nicely with fantastic articles - the 
deadline is coming up at the end of December.

Last but not least: Producing each volume of Judaica Librarianship depends on 
the work of the contributing authors, anonymous reviewers, dedicated copy 
editors, and myself (editing, lay out, and publishing). Creating the content 
and presenting it professionally rely entirely on our voluntary work, but 
hosting the journal online and making it discoverable (we’re approaching 20,000 
downloads!) cost AJL thousands of dollars annually. If you enjoy reading AJL’s 
peer-reviewed journal and support its open access mission to make back issues 
available on the web, please support the association by becoming a member. Your 
annual $70 (special rates for students, retirees, etc.) supports AJL operations 
and publications, including Judaica Librarianship.

Happy reading and Happy Hanukkah!
Rachel

The idea crossed my mind a few months ago when I cleaned up my office and I had 
a draft email ready to go with the following points (see below); Arthur Kiron 
had similar thoughts. It will be nice to have a few articles on Jewish 
bookstores in Judaica Librarianship (one essay will be published in JL 19), but 
a digital archive that all of us can contribute to will make a beautiful 
collaborative project that may also evolve into a grant proposal on behalf of 
AJL to include Jewish publishing houses.

Here's what I had in that draft note:

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] Judaica Librarianship update

[Rachel Leket-Mor]

Dear AJL members and ha-Safran readers,

The next volume of AJL’s peer-reviewed journal, Judaica Librarianship will be 
published later this summer. It includes a number of excellent research 
articles and essays and I am doing my best to finish editing them, working with 
our wonderful volunteer copyeditors Nancy Sack and Judy Wolfthal, and 
completing the process of layout. All this work behind the scenes, including 
the double-blind peer review process which is now completed, is done 
voluntarily on our spare time and I apology for any delays.

While you wait for JL 20, you may want to read previous articles published in 
JL. As of today, ALL previous issues uploaded to the site (volumes 8–19) are 
available for free on behalf of AJL’s commitment to open access, including the 
issue published last year—all on http://ajlpublishing.org.

Please note that as you access the journal site, article downloads are 
visualized on a map and a new discipline wheel shows the integration of JL 
articles into other fields. As of now, JL articles fit into 99 disciplines and 
all JL articles are part of the Jewish 
Studies<http://network.bepress.com/arts-and-humanities/jewish-studies/> and 
Library and Information 
Science<http://network.bepress.com/social-and-behavioral-sciences/library-and-information-science/>
 Commons. The discipline wheel is another way to discover articles on the 
Digital Commons network, shared by many academic institutions worldwide.

Feel free to share your JL readings via email or on social media, but please do 
not share the downloaded PDFs. Instead, use the “share” button on article pages 
(see image) or copy/ paste the URL or DOI of article pages (for example: 
http://ajlpublishing.org/jl/vol19/iss1/1/ or 
doi:10.14263/2330-2976.1210<https://doi.org/10.14263/2330-2976.1210>). That 
way, we and JL authors can keep track of download counts (now over 21,000).

On behalf of JL editorial board,
Rachel Leket-Mor, JL Editor
Arizona State University Library

[ha-Safran] AJL/ALA webinar: Cataloging Judaica Resources

[Rachel Leket-Mor]

I would like to commend Sheryl Stahl for her clear, easy-to-follow, 
informative, and fun instruction and presentation during AJL's first-ever 
webinar on Cataloging Judaica Resources. I took the webinar to learn more about 
the subject and feel that I have (but please don't ask me to do it myself!... I 
wouldn't count on my performance in this area).

Thank you, Sheryl for presenting and thank you, AJL council members Haim 
Gottschalk, Nancy Sack, and Sharon Benamu, for arranging this wonderful webinar 
with ALA.

Best wishes,
Rachel

Dear colleagues,

I am pleased to announce that the new issue of Judaica Librarianship (20) will

membership so you can access the new content (renew your membership here: 
http://jewishlibraries.org/content.php?page=join_AJL).

The editorial work on AJL's peer-reviewed journal is done voluntarily, but

2014, more than 24,000 unique downloads from all over the world have been 
registered on the site for both current and older content (236 articles, 
including back issues). New issues are available to members for 12 months on

profession and the scholarly output of Judaica librarians and archivists by 
renewing your AJL membership.

To be continued... soon!

Re: [ha-Safran] FW: David Hirsch's retirement

[Rachel Leket-Mor]

I echo my colleagues in congratulating David Hirsch on his impactful, 
international career that stretched the boundaries of “field librarianship” in 
the extreme. I had the pleasure of visiting him at UCLA and see, first-hand, 
some of the treasures he collected in less-travelled parts of the globe. 
David’s exemplary contribution to collection building of Judaica and Islamica, 
in multiple languages, is indeed inspiring to many at AJL and MELAnet.

Congratulations, David!

Subject: David Hirsch's retirement

Dear Library Staff,

With regret, but warm wishes, I’m announcing the retirement from the UCLA 
Library of David Hirsch, Librarian for Jewish, Middle Eastern, South Asian 
Studies at UCLA. David’s last day in the office will be January 19th, if you 
would like to stop by and see him before he leaves.

David has been an integral part of the UCLA Library since 1989, when he joined 
us as the Jewish Studies Bibliographer in what was then known as the 
Bibliographer's Group, a department he also came to lead as Vice Chair and 
Chair a few years later. Over the years, David has been our liaison for 
numerous areas, for varying lengths of time, including African Studies, 
Armenian Studies, Middle Eastern Studies, Central Asia, South Asia, Yemeni 
Studies and so many other areas that I will invariably forget one if I try to 
list them all. David has definitely suffered from the curse of the polyglot 
when we’ve needed someone to take something on, but his insatiable curiosity 
and relentless work ethic have helped meet the constantly-evolving demands of 
the job.

David’s ability to make connections around the world via his many invited 
talks, State Department-sponsored workshops and book fair participation, along 
with acquisitions trips, enabled the UCLA Library to build world-class 
collections in Middle Eastern and Jewish Studies. HIs cultivation of donors and 
passion for his collections led to endowed funds for a number of his collecting 
areas, particularly Jewish Studies and Armenian Studies, allowing the Library 
to document important diaspora communities in Los Angeles and around the world. 
He's served the profession in a number of organizations, including as President 
of the Middle East Librarians Association and the Research and Special 
Libraries’ Division of the Association of Jewish Libraries. HIs expertise in 
building collections was especially highlighted during the two-year sabbatical 
he took to serve as Chief Librarian and Library Advisor in the National Library 
of Abu Dhabi, from 2009-2011. And he’s continued to be involved in library 
initiatives such as Collecting LA and the International Digital Ephemera 
Project (IDEP) until the present day, as well as being an early adopter of 
collecting non-traditional materials for research, such as ephemer

[ha-Safran] Judaica Librarianship Call for Papers (2020)

[Rachel Leket-Mor via Hasafran]

Dear colleagues,

Volume 21 of Judaica Librarianship will be published in November or December of 
this year. I apologize for the long wait, but during my sabbatical I could not 
dedicate much time to the journal. In the meantime, Volume 
20<https://ajlpublishing.org/jl/vol20/iss1/> became freely available which is 
reflected in the high number of article downloads. All back issues uploaded to 
the journal site at https://ajlpublishing.org/jl are now open access and JL 
articles have been downloaded (and hopefully read, too!) almost 35,000 times. 
That’s a good way to get the word out about AJL.

Call for Papers, Volume 22
This year marks the 200th anniversary of the Wissenschaft des Judentums 
movement, or the birth of Jewish Studies as an academic discipline. For the 
22nd issue of Judaica Librarianship, the editorial board invites you to submit 
papers on the contribution of libraries and archives, as well as individual 
librarians and archivists or librarian–scholar collaborations, to the scholarly 
field of Jewish Studies. Papers could focus on collection building, in 
particular collections that contributed to the formation and development of 
Jewish studies; description of, and discovery systems for library and archival 
objects, including library catalogs, library guides, archival finding aids, or 
metadata creation for digitized collections; bibliographies or other reference 
tools; reference, research, and instruction services, including online 
tutorials; and library outreach efforts, including interaction with scholars 
and students on social media. Other papers that meet the journal’s scope are 
welcome as well. For JL’s submission guidelines and policies, see the journal 
homepage at https://ajlpublishing.org/jl/; or contact the editor for any 
questions. The deadline is January 31, 2020.

Thank you,
Rachel

Re: [ha-Safran] Question about JL

[Rachel Leket-Mor via Hasafran]

Hello Andrea, 

Thank you for your excellent question! 

As a JL author, you get regular notifications about your article downloads from 
Digital Commons (bepress). We do have Google Analytics installed on our site 
and I can send you more information about access to your article (actual 
downloads or visits to the article page). This information is tied to IP 
address associated with the download (academic institutions, commercial bodies, 
or private) as well as the city/country where it came from. We do have readers 
from all over the world, including places that are not particularly known for 
their sympathy for Jewish culture. It is through JL, among other things, that 
AJL achieves its mission to educate and promote information about "all things 
Jewish." 

However, once we leave Digital Commons in a few weeks, our content will be 
transferred to another system and the author dashboard will not be accessible. 
I will let authors know before the content is removed, so they can download any 
past information. The new system will still provide information about JL 
readership, but it will be done differently. I would like to emphasize that all 
the content currently online WILL be available on the new system.

I take this opportunity to thank the many congratulatory emails I received, 
both privately and on ha-Safran. Thank you for your kind words and strong 
support!!! 

Rachel

Re: [ha-Safran] Upcoming retirement

[Rachel Leket-Mor via Hasafran]

Dear Jim,

One of the things I most value at AJL is the camaraderie and mentorship that 
takes place in conferences and Council or Board meetings. Unofficially, 
unassumingly, you taught me and others who served with you on AJL leadership 
roles (2008–2012) financial responsibility, paying attention to details, and 
thoughtfulness.

I was grateful when you agreed to join the editorial board of Judaica 
Librarianship in 2012 and am happy that you plan to stay on the editorial 
board, where your professional experience and sound advice are always welcome.

Thank you,
Rachel

Jim was president of AJL when I took my first board position, and so his 
presidency shaped my AJL involvement.  Jim, thank you so much for your 
leadership and your incredible patience in the face of all sorts of 
difficulties. When the Bibliography Award winner last year talked about how Jim 
showed her that academia can be a place with kindness, I thought that was a 
perfect description.  Your advice and guidance has been amazing on both a 
personal level and for AJL as a whole.

Thank you, thank you.

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

We have the distinct honor and pleasure of announcing that the 2020 recipient 
of the Fanny Goldstein Merit Award is Zachary M. Baker.

Zachary Baker provided over four decades of dedicated and scholarly service to 
the field of Judaica librarianship and the Association of Jewish Libraries 
beginning in 1976 at the YIVO Institute for Jewish Research in New York City as 
a cataloger of Yiddish books until 1981 as well as a genealogical reference 
librarian beginning around 1978.  From 1981 to 1987, he worked at the Montreal 
Jewish Public Library and was appointed as its head of technical services circa 
1983.  From 1987-1999, Zachary returned to YIVO as Head Librarian.  Most 
recently, he served as Reinhard Family Curator of Judaica and Hebraica 
Collections in the Stanford University Libraries from 1999-2018, a position 
from which he retired in January 2018.  In addition, from 2010 until his 
retirement, he was the Stanford Libraries’ Assistant University Librarian for 
Collection Development for the Humanities and Social Sciences.  He has 
published numerous articles and bibliographies relating to Yiddish and other 
areas of Jewish studies.


Zachary has been a very active member of AJL for as long as any of us can 
remember--he attended his first AJL conference in 1976.  Among his many 
positions in AJL, he was president of the association from 1994-1996.  He was a 
leading member of the local AJL Annual Convention organizing committee before, 
during, and following this event in 2005 when it took place in Oakland, 
California.  He was also a longtime contributing editor and editor-in-chief of 
Judaica Librarianship.  Zachary received an AJL Judaica Reference honorable 
mention in 2018 for “Resources in Yiddish 
Studies”
 published in: In Geveb: A Journal of Yiddish Studies.

Zachary is not only the consummate Judaica librarian but a leading scholar of 
all things Judaic and is especially well-versed in Yiddish studies.  His 
contributions to AJL and the field are so abundant, it would be difficult to 
even begin to take stock of them.  He presented numerous papers at AJL 
Conferences over the years, virtually annually, before his retirement.

On October 9. 2018, “Zachary M. Baker Presented with the Albert Nelson Marquis 
Lifetime Achievement Award by Marquis Who's 
Who.
  He has been endorsed by Marquis Who's Who as a leader in the field of library 
science.”  Mazel-tov, yasher-koyekh, kol ha-kavod, and congratulations to 
Zachary who is a most worthy recipient of the Fanny Goldstein Merit Award.

2020 Fanny Goldstein Merit Award Committee

** * ** *
The Fanny Goldstein Merit Award, named for the librarian, social activist, and 
founder of National Jewish Book Month, is bestowed in recognition of loyal and 
ongoing contributions to the Association of Jewish Libraries and to the 
profession of Jewish librarianship.

Born on May 15, 1895 [some sources say 1888], Fanny Goldstein devoted her life 
to books and community. She was the first female Judaica librarian and the 
first woman to direct a branch library in Massachusetts, where she was head of 
Boston's West End Branch for many years. A prominent figure in the Boston 
Jewish community, she is best known as the founder of Jewish Book Week, which 
began when Goldstein organized a display of Jewish books at the Boston Public 
Library in 1925.

Mazal tov to Heidi ! I can’t think of a more deserving mover and shaker of 
KIdilit.
I add my gratitude to the Kar-Ben publishing.  .  It is so appropriate that the 
publishers of books that are on the shelves of so many synagogue, school or 
center libraries will support librarians who work with and advocate for the 
readers of those very books. Below please see the ctitera:


  *   Active involvement in the Judaic library profession or related fields 
promoting Jewish children’s literacy
  *   Strong advocacy for library/literacy services to children and youth
  *   Positive role model to colleagues and the wider community
  *   Innovative approaches to Jewish children’s literature or library services



Heidi’s activities  meet all the conditions listed above.

Amalia W.

Dear AJLers,

It is my honor and pleasure to inform the AJL Community that Heidi Rabinowitz, 
host at Book of Life Podcast and librarian at Congregation B'nai Israel in Boca 
Raton, FL, is the winner of the 2020 Groner-Wikler Scholarship. This 
scholarship, generously underwritten by KarBen Publishing, is presented to an 
AJL member who demonstrates dedication to Jewish children's literature and 
library services.

Heidi's passion for Jewish kidlit and spreading the word far and wide using 
many different venues and formats impressed the Scholarship Committee. Please 
join me in congratulating Heidi on her winning this scholarship.

We thank Joni Sussman and KarBen Publishing for their generosity in enabling 
our community to have extraordinary librarians like Heidi join us at our 
conferences.

We are looking forward to seeing her – and all of you - at the AJL Conference 
in Evanston, IL in June.

[ha-Safran] Archivists at local Jewish historical societies

[Rachel Leket-Mor via Hasafran]

Dear all,

I am posting for a faculty member. Please respond to him directly (email below) 
and forward this note to colleagues at local Jewish historical societies, if 
you know any:

For a book I am co-authoring on local Jewish historical societies I am seeking 
also to learn about the professional connections of the employees of those 
groups. There is no national organization bringing together local Jewish 
historical societies. Societies that also are connected to museums have the 
opportunity to connect professionally through CAJM (Council of American Jewish 
Museums.) Archivists of local Jewish historical societies could connect 
professionally through AJL.

I am seeking to determine whether any archivists employed by local Jewish 
historical societies do belong to AJL and network through it. I would welcome 
hearing from you at joel.gereb...@asu.edu<mailto:joel.gereb...@asu.edu>.


Thank you,
Rachel

[ha-Safran] FW: 2020 Collections Forum Survey

[Rachel Leket-Mor via Hasafran]

Dear AJL colleagues,

Please see below for a message from the Collections Forum Planning Team and 
fill out the survey by October 5. AJL is an active member of this coalition.

Thank you,
Rachel


On August 17, a coalition of area studies information professionals from 16 
national organizations published their statement, "Equity and Access in Higher 
Education and Academic Libraries Amid the COVID-19 
Pandemic<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__jewishlibraries.org_blog_id_477=DwMFAg=l45AxH-kUV29SRQusp9vYR0n1GycN4_2jInuKy6zbqQ=tPhupptxc3iJD_aguos4yYwVn8L-XoTF6quFAv1XH-k=x1HrZLj9FIDMM55GF8rPD8PULDUppVe8aubb67P1D04=Zp76_J3TcjnZZ68L2eAYbTquurswrFXTT_ip3sNchJs=>.”
 This statement represents shared areas of concern and recommendations on how 
to alleviate challenges faced by academic marginalized communities of color, 
people with disabilities, and students from rural and low-income areas. Well 
over 283 librarians, students, faculty, academic organizations, executive 
boards and committees, and professional organizations have endorsed this 
statement.

As follow-up to this joint effort, the coalition of area studies information 
professionals are planning a one-day collections forum in late November or 
early December to explore topics related to the Statement. We hope area studies 
librarians, administrators, catalogers and metadata specialists, collection 
development librarians, representatives from digital repositories, scholarly 
communication librarians, and others will be able to participate in this event.

Please complete the survey below and share your ideas with us. We need your 
support and guidance in shaping these discussions.

[ha-Safran] AJL online conference

[Rachel Leket-Mor via Hasafran]

Dear AJL online 2020 Conference Committee,

Thank you so much for (re)organizing and producing, in such a short time, the 
AJL online conference!

I can only attest to the RAS sessions I attended (no double dipping in this 
format!), which were all outstanding. Thank you, Michelle and Amalia for 
putting the new program together and bringing in so many international 
attendees whose voice is rarely heard in our annual meetings. The RAS awards 
session also benefitted from this format and we can probably use it in the 
future.

Congratulations to all presenters, the new Fanny Goldstein Merit Award winner 
Zachary Baker, and the RAS Lifetime Achievement Award winner Robert Singerman. 
Welcome, new new Board and Council members.

Kol ha-kavod!!!

[ha-Safran] Judaica Librarianship 21

[Rachel Leket-Mor via Hasafran]

Dear AJL members,

The new open access issue of Judaica Librarianship is out – I did my best to 
finish the work before or during the conference but let it be an after-party 
treat.

Congratulations to all the authors(!) and thanks to the anonymous reviewers and 
JL’s editorial board for their support: Zachary Baker, Annette Goldsmith, 
Rachel Heuberger, Rebecca Jefferson, Arthur Kiron, Roger Kohn, and Jim 
Rosenbloom. Special thanks are due to Nancy Sack, JL’s remarkable copyeditor 
who contributed so much to this issue.

The URL of JL is still at https://ajlpublishing.org  but no login is needed, 
unless you would like to get email notifications. It was wonderful seeing so 
many of you on Zoom at the AJL online conference – please keep in touch with JL 
by reading and spreading the word (social media share buttons are at the bottom 
of article pages).

Keep safe –
Rachel

Dear Safranim,

Please join me in welcoming Megan Shulman to our AJL News and Reviews team! 
Megan is one of our new co-editors for children's/teen's reviews.

Here is Megan's "hello" to you all:

My name is Megan Shulman, and I am, after many years of being involved with our 
synagogue’s leadership team and community, newly Jew-by-Choice. I am a 
transplant to the Deep South by way of New York, and enjoy learning about the 
diverse historical Jewish experience in our rural city in West Tennessee. I 
have fifteen years of experience as a school librarian, but have also worked as 
both a public and academic librarian. I have a passion for diverse, quality 
Jewish children’s and young adult literature. I am recently disabled, and make 
my home in the tiny town of Medina, Tennessee with my five year old son Calvin 
and my husband Andrew. I am very excited to soon be serving the AJL!

Wishing you all Shabbat Shalom,
Sally

Dear safaranim,

It is with great pleasure that I ask you to join me in welcoming our newest AJL 
member and AJL News and Reviews team member, Ellen Drucker-Albert. I have known 
Ellen for three years; we work together on a local committee called "Long 
Island Reads"  and she is always great to work with!
Ellen will be joining us as a co-editor for Children's and Teen Reviews and 
working with fellow co-editors Chava and Lisa as Chava transitions to stepping 
away from her role at News and Reviews, after a significant tenure on our team, 
to focus on new endeavors.

I've asked Ellen to "introduce herself" in a short blurb:


It is my absolute pleasure to be joining AJL’s News and Reviews team as 
co-editor for Children's/Teen's Reviews. I am excited to return to my “roots.” 
I began my librarianship career about 25 years ago at the Solomon Schechter Day 
School of Suffolk County on Long Island, NY, where I assisted in the creation 
of their school library, and served as their Librarian, sharing my passion for 
Children’s and Teen literature. Jewish education was, and remains an important 
part of my career path. I taught elementary through high school age groups at 
the Solomon Schechter Day School, Camp Ramah in the Berkshires, the high school 
programs at the Suffolk Hebrew Midrasha Academy and the Ivry Prozdor High 
School of the Jewish Theological Seminary. I provided instruction in subjects 
ranging from Bible, Jewish literature, film, Constitutional law and Jewish 
ethics. I am also an attorney admitted in the State of New York, and have been 
a grader for the NY Board of Law Examiners since 1999.


Currently, I am the Adult & Information Services Manager at the Cold Spring 
Harbor Library & Environmental Center. I serve as a member of the Long Island 
Reads Committee, an Island-wide reading initiative intended to bring readers 
together to discuss one book and participate in related programming. I moderate 
a monthly book discussion at the Cold Spring Harbor Library. I enjoy providing 
readers’ advisory services to my Rabbi recommending titles for his book 
discussions at the synagogue and participating in these Jewish-themed 
discussions.


I am looking forward to contributing to the mission of the AJL promoting Jewish 
literacy and am appreciative of this opportunity to promote and encourage the 
engagement with Jewish literature for Children and Teens!



Ellen Drucker-Albert



Please join me in welcoming Ellen to our community.


Best,
Sally

This is very exciting.  Kudos to Univ Penn, you Arthur and other staff and 
faculty, for recognizing the value and importance of the rapidly growing 
intersection of digital humanities technology and Jewish Studies.  Emily's role

April, 2021 -- The Association of Jewish Libraries encourages the publication 
of outstanding works of Judaica reference and bibliography through its annual 
awards.

We are pleased to announce the following awards:

  *   Bibliography award: Stone, Gerald K. Catalog of the Gerald K. Stone 
Collection of Judaica: A Bibliographical Resource for Canadian Jewish Studies. 
Boston: Academic Studies Press, 2020.
  *   Reference award: Udel, Miriam. Honey on the Page: A Treasury of Yiddish 
Children’s Literature. Forward by Jack Zipes. New York: NYU Press, 2020.
  *   Honorary mention (Reference): Barsky, Zvi. Ḥanut ṿe-taṿit: mokhre sefarim 
be-Erets Yiśraʼel, 1870-1948 (English title: Making a Mark: Booksellers in 
Palestine, 1870-1948). Jerusalem: Mi-neged hotsaʼah la-or, 2019.

This year’s awardees exemplify AJL’s mission to foster and promote access to 
information, learning, teaching and research.

AJL’s Reference and Bibliography Committee agree that Catalog of The Gerald K. 
Stone Collection of Judaica will serve as a valuable and fascinating resource 
for scholars of Canadian Jewry. In this monumental work, Gerald Stone has 
organized, indexed, and annotated his collection of nearly 6,000 printed items 
relating to myriad aspects of Jewish life in Canada. Honey on the Page (title 
and charming cover illustration notwithstanding) is a scholarly work that will 
serve as an important reference for researchers in numerous fields, not least 
of which is the burgeoning study of children's literature. The notes on 
translation will be of great interest to scholars of Yiddish. And of course, 
children, both at home and in religious schools, will also enjoy the stories! 
Ḥanut ṿe-taṿit (Making a Mark) is a powerful reference tool not just for 
librarians, but also for researchers as well as for booksellers themselves. At 
the same time, it reads as a narrative of the adventures and misadventures of 
book traders in Palestine (Yehezkel Steimatzky among them) before the 
establishment of the State of Israel. This beautiful work will entertain 
experts and amateurs alike.

For their commitment and continuing support of these awards, AJL would like to 
recognize and thank Dr. Greta Silver of New York (Reference Award) and Mr. Eric 
Kline of Santa Monica (Bibliography Award).

[ha-Safran] Mutilated medieval manuscripts

[Rachel Leket-Mor via Hasafran]

Dear colleagues,

I am posting for a friend – please respond to her directly (see email below).

Thank you,
Rachel



For an article on the intentional mutilation of medieval manuscripts, I am 
interested to learn about manuscripts in which miniatures or word panels have 
been removed, blank borders have been cut out, folios have been torn, slashed 
with razors, or otherwise suffered intentional damage?  In addition, I am 
curious if anyone knows of miniatures or word panels that survive independent 
of their original manuscripts, of any evidence up to the present time that 
miniatures or word panels served as gifts or as decoration on the walls of 
homes, or of incidents of manuscripts being cut up to harvest parchment for 
tefillin or mezuzot.

Thank you!

Subject: [ha-Safran] LGBTQ resources

Hi Safranim,



My synagogue, The Reform Temple of Forest Hills,  has a LGBTQIA outreach 
committee [Keshet Shalom] and we are trying to put together resources about 
Judaism and LGBTQIA folks.  Picture books, regular books, videos, etc. for any 
age.  It occurred to me that some of you may have already done this work.  I 
thought I'd ask you all.  If you have done the work, please either send me info 
about your favorite items or a link to your resources page.



Thank you and a Shanah Tovah to all,

[ha-Safran] Vol. 7 of Judaica Librarianship (1993) is online

[Rachel Leket-Mor via Hasafran]

Dear AJL members,

I am happy to announce that another back issue of Judaica Librarianship is now 
available on the JL journal platform at 
https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://ajlpublishing.org/__;!!KGKeukY!ntVxHgRGJERtTwwRA4uHHXCj4d58rN0v3CpKkmezskfjfZQXUxl6vwDtJwgzGj7dlGPgRpNwkVn8cV0$
  (go to Archives on the top to access back issues).

Volume 7 was published in 1993 and included a special section (50 pages) that 
celebrated the first international symposium on Jewish children's literature. 
The symposium was organized by Marcia Posner as a subsidiary to the 1990 AJL 
conference which took place in Jerusalem – the only AJL meeting in Israel. In 
addition to articles about children’s literature in different countries, the 
rich volume (144 pages), co-edited by Bella Hass Weinberg and Posner, included 
articles on cataloging, Jewish archives, day school and synagogue libraries, 
and Sydney Taylor/ Reference award speeches.

Please let me know if you have any metadata corrections, I can fix them easily. 
The hard part in finding time to upload back issues with the initial metadata 
apparatus for each item (37 of them in this volume)… but I hope to get back to 
it soon, for the last 6 print-only issues going back to 1983. :)

Judaica Librarianship is the peer-reviewed journal of AJL. If you are 
interested in contributing to the next issue, which is underway, please see the 
About section for journal focus scope and submissions. The 2022 issue is 
co-edited by myself and Nadav Sharon of University of Toronto, who kindly 
joined me in pursuit of this important service. Thank you, Nadav! Many thanks 
to JL copyeditor Nancy Sack!

Thank you,
Rachel

The first episode, available now, features Mary Marks, author of the Quilting 
Mysteries series, in which Jewish protagonist Martha Rose and her circle of 
quilting friends seem to bump into dead bodies with alarming frequency. 
Luckily, they are able use their observational skills, intuition, and 
persistence to "help" the police catch the killers. In this wide-ranging 
conversation, host Sheryl Stahl and Mary Marks discuss Jewish practice, the 
representation of female characters, social action, and finding love in your 
70s.
In episode two, available in November, Nice Jewish Books will be joined by 
Talia Carner, whose novels tackle subjects as varied as human trafficking, 
Russia after the fall of Communism, Jerusalem at the end of the Ottoman Empire, 
and more.
Host Sheryl Stahl, library director at Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of 
Religion in Los Angeles, is an active member of AJL, where she has held the 
positions of treasurer, membership vice president, and webmaster and served on

The Association of Jewish Libraries Announces
the 2022 Fanny Goldstein Merit Award Winner

The Association of Jewish Libraries (AJL) is proud to announce that longtime 
member Lisa Silverman has been named the 2022 Fanny Goldstein Merit Award 
Winner. The award, named for the librarian, social activist, and founder of 
National Jewish Book Month, is bestowed in recognition of loyal and ongoing 
contributions to the Association of Jewish Libraries and to the profession of 
Judaica librarianship.

Lisa Silverman began her career as a day school librarian at the Sinai Akiba 
Academy in Los Angeles and Adat Ari El Day School in Valley Village, 
California. She spent 15 years as the library director at Sinai Temple in Los 
Angeles, providing library services and educational programming for the day 
school, religious school, and synagogue community including teaching adult 
education classes, facilitating book groups, and hosting author events, family 
programs, and film discussions. In 2015, Lisa became the library director of 
the Burton Sperber Jewish Community Library at the American Jewish University 
in Los Angeles where she designed the new space, built the collection, and 
provided extensive programming. She also developed and launched a new online 
digital Jewish Community Library Consortium of California in partnership with 
the Jewish Community Library of San Francisco.

Lisa’s involvement with the Association of Jewish Libraries began when she 
attended her first conference in Los Angeles in 1992, and she has made 
countless contributions to the organization and the profession over the past 30 
years. She was the president and vice president of the then Synagogue, Schools 
& Center Division and served as chair of the Bibliography Bank and on its 
nominating committee. Lisa served as the national conference chairperson for 
three years, co-chaired the 2019 conference in Woodland Hills, and was 
instrumental in the planning of the two online conferences in 2020 and 2021. 
Lisa has also been a leader in the Southern California Chapter of AJL where she 
was honored with the Dorothy Schroder Achievement Award in 2009 and co-founded 
the AJL Western Regional Children’s Literature Conference. AJL President 
Kathleen Bloomfield remarked, "I am so happy that Lisa SIlverman is this year's 
Fanny Goldstein winner. Lisa was a huge help to me when I established 
ForWordsBooks, my Jewish book fair business, back in 1990. She has been an 
ongoing supporter of my work with AJL, including providing guidance as I moved

[ha-Safran] Judaica Librarianship back issues upload project

[Rachel Leket-Mor via Hasafran]

Dear all,

Uploading a few back issues of Judaica Librarianship to the journal’s site 
(https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://ajlpublishing.org/index.php/jl/issue/archive__;!!KGKeukY!xhQeqNWZnA2phHJXmW-G-mogqO8yWEUPxcL2lMYAOw-SeWjwXAHUTWY9KIHNw2yI9yZBM6PpJj90c5YnOH4AeaGD4iJzGmbc9D3lEm43stE$
 ) convinced me finally that the scope of this project is just too much for one 
person. I am asking the help of a few AJL members, preferably catalogers, who 
would be willing to capture the metadata of about 300 files representing back 
issues #1–6 of AJL’s peer-reviewed journal, Judaica Librarianship.

The volunteers should have a good grasp of metadata creation and controlled 
vocabulary and be ready to work collaboratively on a google sheet. Once I have 
this spreadsheet filled out, I will upload these back issues to the site.

I would also appreciate the help of those who have access to Adobe Acrobat Pro, 
to help me with text recognition and other PDF editing functions of the scanned 
files.

Back issues (~300 files, including cover art)

  *   6 (1992): 44 files
  *   5:2 (1991): 19 files
  *   5:1 (1990): 40 files
  *   4:2 (1989): 36 files
  *   4:1 (1988): 40 files
  *   3 (1987): 40 files
  *   2 (1985): 31 files
  *   1:2 (1984): 24 files
  *   1:1 (1983): 17 files


I am happy to answer any questions – by email, phone, Zoom, or in-person in 
Philadelphia.

Thank you,
Rachel

In addition, JL would welcome submissions on the following topics:


  *   Provenance of entire collections or specific items, and theoretical 
approaches to provenance in Jewish libraries (continued from issue #22)
  *   Digital preservation of and access to Judaica collections
  *   Outreach in Jewish libraries
  *   Cataloging as a research process, including any challenges (entire

  *   Judaica collections in Ukraine
  *   Jewish libraries after COVID

guidance, and special thanks to Roger Kohn who served on the board for 18 years!

[ha-Safran] Judaica Librarianship: call for co-editor

[Rachel Leket-Mor via Hasafran]

Dear all,

This June marks the 10th anniversary of my involvement in AJL’s peer-reviewed 
journal, Judaica Librarianship. This voluntary editorship position, my Service 
to AJL, has given me a lot of intellectual satisfaction and personal joy but is 
also wearing me out at this point.

This is a call for a co-editor who would join me in editing the association’s 
journal. The co-editor would need to be a published author of scholarly 
work(s), have some experience with text editing, and demonstrate good 
communication skills and ability to work collaboratively.

I look forward to sharing the joys of scholarly production and keeping the 
legacy of AJL’s peer-reviewed journal—please let me know if interested! I am 
happy to further discuss what this Service to AJL entails. Please contact me 
via email, phone, Zoom, or see me during the AJL Conference in Philadelphia.

Thank you,
Rachel

[ha-Safran] JL back issues uploading project

[Rachel Leket-Mor via Hasafran]

Dear all,

Thank you for the many congratulating emails on the publication of Judaica 
Librarianship’s new issue! Kudos to all authors! Feel free to share the 
articles widely, using the metadata page (title link), not just the PDFs.

Here is the “other exciting news” I promised to share: the final 10 back issues 
of the journal will be batch-uploaded to the JL site next month. It’s exciting 
because those old issues contain hundreds of articles that tell the story of 
AJL, from the time that the publication served both as the scholarly journal 
and the newsletter of the association.

The data ingestion, funded by AJL, will be performed by Open Journal Systems 
who operates the JL site. I have a spreadsheet that contains all the needed 
fields as well as the files themselves, graciously scanned by Hebrew Union 
College years ago.

Since I became JL’s editor in 2012, I uploaded 10 back issues. I just can’t do 
it by myself anymore. All I need is a few more volunteers to help me record the 
article metadata and handle the OCR and renaming of the files. Please contact 
me privately if you can spare a few hours this month (January 2023) to get this 
project going. Let’s get it done!

Thank you,
Rachel

[ha-Safran] New issue of Judaica Librarianship, December 2022

[Rachel Leket-Mor via Hasafran]

Dear AJL members,

The previous issue of Judaica 
Librarianship<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://ajlpublishing.org/__;!!KGKeukY!xh8PgdMd5bLQJVr_Okf45Wwag4OCSBK0L6f_WTQiUJVkhNFuRCxdhwoxDE0NcHn8LHjb7uplw5kErOmtJw_h5wlR70jAAxkaoAni9h1G--4$
 >, AJL’s peer-reviewed journal was published during the height of the COVID 
pandemic in 2020. The pause in publishing caused by COVID-related drawbacks is 
almost over… Please watch your email for a note about the publication of JL 22 
in the next few weeks.

Volume 22 addresses the question of provenance in Jewish libraries and archives 
on multiple levels, presenting possible solutions to ethical considerations 
concerning the origin of individual items or complete collections. These issues 
are explored in a number of research articles, essays, and reviews. Other 
topics covered in this volume are Jewish bookstores, children's literature, 
libraries catering to or reviewed by Yiddish readers, and last but not least 
our own association, with one essay about Judaica catalogers and another on 
AJL’s copping with COVID as an organization. The 2-year gap is summarized in 
our digital humanities and literature review columns, and a tribute to Heidi 
Lerner.

I thank Nancy Sack for volunteering her crucial copyediting services to JL and 
Nadav Sharon for his editorial assistance.

Work on Volume 23 is underway as well, continuing to focus on issues of 
provenance. Please check JL’s 
About<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://ajlpublishing.org/index.php/jl/about__;!!KGKeukY!xh8PgdMd5bLQJVr_Okf45Wwag4OCSBK0L6f_WTQiUJVkhNFuRCxdhwoxDE0NcHn8LHjb7uplw5kErOmtJw_h5wlR70jAAxkaoAnishAbr2k$
 > page for the journal’s focus and scope: we are interested in publishing 
high-quality papers and essays about Jewish informational literacy, development 
and management of Judaica collections, curation and dissemination of 
information resources, book history and bibliography, and related fields. For 
questions and consultations, please contact me.

To be continued later this month –

Re: [ha-Safran] Jewish Genealogy Reference Books

Dear Judaica Librarians:

I am the Library Liaison for the International Association of Jewish
Genealogy Societies or IAJGS for short.  I am going to create a
comprehensive list of reference books in Jewish Genealogy and add it
to the Library section of the IAJGS website.  Do you know of any good
lists to start with?  I can add on from there.  I am not including
how-to books or Yizkor Books.  Yizkor books are already in a database
on JewishGen.  This is a long term project so no need to rush.

Re: [ha-Safran] Charlotte's Web book in Hebrew?

[Rachel Leket-Mor via Hasafran]

Hi Wendie,

E. B. White’s Charlotte's Web was translated twice into Hebrew. Once in 2007 by 
Zohar Shavit (a professor for Hebrew literature and cultural history), under 
the title Ḥaṿat ha-ḳesamim (Magical Farm; Zemorah-Bitan), and then in 2018 
by Rana Werbin, under the title ha-Reshet shel Sharloṭ (Oḳiyanus: Modan).

Both translations are available at Harvard Library, the first one also at
Minuteman Library 
Network and the second one also at NYPL.

I hope that helps,
Rachel

Abstract: This chapter addresses design research and iterative curriculum 
design for the Lost & Found games series. The Lost & Found card-to-mobile 
series is set in Fustat (Old Cairo) in the twelfth century and focuses on 
religious laws of the period. The first two games focus on Moses Maimonides’ 
Mishneh Torah, a key Jewish law code. A new expansion module which was in 
development at the time of the fieldwork described in this article that 
introduces Islamic laws of the period, and a mobile prototype of the initial 
strategy game has been developed with support National Endowment for the 
Humanities. The series pays close attention to period details and provides 
numerous entry points for curriculum. Featured at the 2019 Smithsonian American 
Museum of Art (SAAM) Arcade, winner of the best non-digital game at 
International Meaningful Play, and a Bronze medal winner at the International 
Serious Play competition, these games combine engaging table-top play across 
game genres with opportunities to learn about medieval religious history. The 
first game in the series is a strategy game which combines competitive and 
collaborative play as players make tradeoff decisions to balance the needs of 
their family with needs of the wider community. The second game in the series 
is a party game which focuses on legal reasoning. This chapter addresses 
approaching learning environments, from design with experts and playtests with 
learners to participant observation and narrative reports at a high school 
where the game is being used to teach history. Crucial to learning games is the 
way in which they relate to, are interwoven with, and are ultimately embedded 
in curriculum, especially learning outcomes and objectives. This chapter will 
examine strategies and processes that explore that interweaving.

Thanks,
Rachel

[ha-Safran] Help needed: an image from Beverly Brodsky's children's book

[Rachel Leket-Mor via Hasafran]

Dear AJL friends,

As I complete the metadata for cover images of Judaica Librarianship’s back 
issues, based on descriptions printed in these issues (but not on their 
covers), I encountered a problem and need some help.

The cover image for Volume 1:2 (Spring 
1984)<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://ajlpublishing.org/index.php/jl/issue/view/35__;!!KGKeukY!3HYQCGadB7Ci-6yIYv5J9c4Gh5UGE_ROoZL6qu_duoKlBAKJlScvfIaGOqTSg_wVVvEuA6ORfzF2fsuUVEPRKPlH02jAuDg$
 > is probably from one of Beverly Brodsky's children's books, but the note 
referring to it in Marcia Posner’s interview with the artist (p. 104) is not 
too informative:

In The Golem, Brodsky has contrasted broad areas of deep, harmonious 
earthtones, with dramatic and explosive complementary colors. The stark white 
of the page is used almost as a color in itself. “It's a device to give form 
and shape to the content,” she says. This important device was used in Sedna 
(Viking, 1975) and Jonah (Lippincott, 1977) as well. (See cover photo - Ed.)

The image is most probably from The Golem, but none of the images I can access 
online match the one featured on the that volume cover. The book is availed in 
a remote storage at my library and will take a couple of days to arrive. Can 
anyone who owns the book take a look at it and let me know?

Thank you,
Rachel

 (AJL) is proud to announce that longtime member Rachel Leket-Mor has been 
named the 2023 Fanny Goldstein Merit Award Winner. The award, named for the 
librarian, social activist, and founder of National Jewish Book Month, is 
bestowed in recognition of loyal and ongoing contributions to the AJL and to 
the profession of Judaica librarianship.



Rachel Leket-Mor began her career as a Hebrew language editor at publishing 
houses in Israel. She edited translated fiction, scholarly articles, and 
monographs, mostly related to Jewish history, political science, and holocaust 
studies, in collaboration with authors, translators, and in-house editors. She 
began at Arizona State University (ASU) Library in 2002, first as the Jewish 
studies bibliographer, building collections, supporting curriculum and 
research, and providing specialized reference assistance. After two years in 
this position, she worked as a subject librarian for Jewish studies, religious 
studies, philosophy, and medieval and Renaissance studies until 2017 and is 
currently the open stack collections curator. In this role, she provides 
leadership for the selection, management, and disposition of print collections 
and openly accessible resources. She also works with, trains, and guides 
selectors on purchasing materials. She holds two master’s degrees, a Master in 
Information Resources and Library Science from University of Arizona and an MA 
in Translation Studies from Tel Aviv University.



Rachel’s involvement with the AJL began when she joined the Association in 2003 
as a new Judaica librarian. Her professional involvement in the Association 
began in 2007, when she co-chaired that year’s annual conference in Scottsdale, 
Arizona, with Haim Gottschalk. The following year, she was elected vice 
president of AJL’s Research, Archives, and Special Collections Division (RAS), 
serving alongside RAS President Jim Rosenbloom (2008–2010). As RAS president 
(2010–2012), she collaborated with Schools, Synagogues, and Centers Division 
President Joyce Levine to conduct a member survey to study trends in Judaica 
libraries and anticipate future developments across the AJL divisions. The 
survey results, including the number of librarians in AJL libraries, their 
educational level, age and years of service, and retirement plans, were used in 
AJL strategic and leadership organizational planning. Rachel served on several 
AJL strategic planning committees, from 2008 to 2010 and from 2013 to 2016, and 
has served on the AJL Council since 2007 and on the Association’s Constitution 
and Bylaws Committee since 2022.



In 2012, Rachel became the editor of Judaica Librarianship, AJL’s peer-reviewed 
journal. A year later, she transferred the print-only publication to electronic 
publishing, set up the electronic platform and a new peer-review process, 
designed a new textual “nusaḥ,” and acquired the Adobe InDesign skills needed 
for the production of scholarly works. She arranged for each issue to become 
open access 12 months after publication and moved the journal to complete open 
access when shifting it to a new electronic platform with the Open Journal 
Systems in early 2020. Opening the journal to all resulted in a significantly 
increased number of readers and better exposure to AJL. For the journal’s 
fortieth anniversary this year, she has led an AJL volunteer team in a project 
to upload the remainder of the journal’s back issues, following prior success 
with making volumes 9–16/17 available online.

[ha-Safran] All back issues of Judaica Librarianship are online (1–22)

[Rachel Leket-Mor via Hasafran]

Dear AJL members,

I am excited to share with you that the JL back issues upload project is 
completed! All back issued of Judaica Librarianship, starting with the first 
one, are available online at 
https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://ajlpublishing.org__;!!KGKeukY!3X5CZ0tcw4snTh3XZbLpquvvNQejlDpmb0wTn88UyXgOgIgVr7tp34Ti6WVOPEbLm22c76WzknQCeK8GlZc2guFhzBowKSc$
 , under Archvies.

Many, many thanks to the dedicated team of volunteers who helped me prepare the 
PDF’d articles for publication and generate article-level metadata (listed 
alphabetically): Sharon Benamou, Lili Brown, Yossi Galron, Ilka Gordon, Uri 
Kolodney, Konstanze Kunst, Amalia Levi, Yahm Levin, Michelle Margolis, Nancy 
Sack, Hannah Srour, and Sheryl Stahl. Thank you!!!

Another big thank-you goes to the wonderful JL editorial board, especially 
Zachary Baker, Arthur Kiron, Annette Goldsmith, and Jim Rosenbloom, for their 
sound advice. Lastly, none of it would have been possible without the digitized 
files, an undertaking headed by Laurel Wolfson at HUC years ago.

Just in time for the fortieth anniversary of AJL’s peer-reviewed Judaica 
Librarianship, all back issues of the journal are available online. Read 
away!... Share any articles (don’t forget to cite… see a formatted citation + 
DOI/URL under “how to cite” on each article page)—and please, please, please 
let me know if you spot any problems, so I can fix them.

Congratulations, AJLers!
Rachel

Here's the press release, and I also want to share what she wrote on Facebook,

And here are Susan's own words, in which she shouts out AJL:

A big and unexpected moment and career high that I can't quite believe. Thank 
you to the American Library Association for selecting me as the recipient of 
this year's ALA Equality Award.
With thanks and gratitude to the members of this year's committee: Dora Ho, 
Skip Dye, Keahiahi S. Long, Shay Ramsey-Martin and Robin Sofge and to ALA. 
Thank you for recognizing me, but much more importantly for recognizing Jewish 
advocacy work as significant and worth awarding.
With deep thanks to Heidi Rabinowitz, who has been my partner for so much of 
this Jewish book equity work. I am so proud of the projects and communities we 
have created.
Also thank you to my colleagues at ALA and the Association of Jewish Libraries 
and to everyone in the library, bookselling and publishing fields who have been 
so supportive of Jewish books. Thank you to my synagogue colleagues and library 
patrons, who I have been working for.
I am also honored to be recognized for my mentoring. That is truly an important 
part of my professional life and I am so proud of my mentees and what they have 
accomplished.
I really feel this is a group award, for all the work we have done together, to 
expand the world of Jewish books for all Jewish and non-Jewish readers. We have 
done so much... and we have so mu

I just got on the Sydney Taylor book awards page on the AJL website.  There are 
129 pages to go through.  Is there any easy way to suss out the Middle Grade 
winners, honor books and notables from the rest of the books and then do the 
same for the Young Adult books?  Almost every book for these age groups that I 
have come from award winners both Sydney Taylor and Jewish Book Council.  Has 
anyone created a database of winners, honor books and notables sorted by age 
group?  I have about 400 books to relabel.

[ha-Safran] Looking for a library volunteer from 1993

[Rachel Leket-Mor via Hasafran]

Dear ha-Safran readers,

I was approached by someone who is looking for a Herta Weil, who may have been 
the one mentioned in this excerpt from Marcia Posner’s article in Judaica 
Librarianship 7 (1–2), ”Jewish Children’s Literature Around the World: A 
Survey” 
(https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://doi.org/10.14263/7/1993/605__;!!KGKeukY!yMzW5DrDJ_mzKsYeh826p_D5DQtXUHQH0FVa2uK4UzCRDnlKykGEHkCha9hLR_-vBTkAuES94p9Q39Cdg14kSP233pR4IKc$
 ):

Austria has a Jewish population of 12,000, out of a total population of 
7,552,000. An issue of Aufbau (January 6, 1989), contained an article 
(thoughtfully translated by a library volunteer, Mrs. Herta Weil) about a new 
Judaica Bookstore, "Buchhandlung Chaj," in Vienna's 2nd District, the 
Leopoldstadt, at Lessingstrasse 5, next to the Jewish Gymnasium. It was 
established by Friedericke Stern-Heller, a trained bookseller since 1949, who 
was frequently asked by friends and acquaintances to provide them with Jewish 
literature. The bookstore's collection includes picture-books and literature 
for young people. All the books are by Jewish authors with "direct connection 
to Jewry and the State of Israel" (Judische, 1989). Correspondence with Mr. and 
Mrs. Ernest M. Stern resulted in a list of more than forty-two titles of 
children's books carried by their store, many originally written in German, the 
rest translated. All but two were published by Austrian publishers, including 
Zeit fur die Hora (Time for the Hora; Arena, 1989), by Ingeborg Bayer, who is 
not Jewish, which was awarded the Deutscher Jugendliteraturpreis (German 
Children's Literature Prize) 1989 and was also an IBBY Honor Book. Mr. Stern 
wrote that he still discovers small publishers who produce Jewish literature, 
and he provided me with other contacts in Switzerland and Germany. (pp. 11–12)

If anyone knows anything about Herta Weil, please contact me off list.

Thank you,
Rachel
