Dear Safranim,

You are invited to enjoy the Dorot Jewish Division's new online and
in-person exhibition celebrating 125 years of the division, curated by
Lyudmila Sholokhova.

Please join me in congratulating Mila on this amazing accomplishment!

The exhibition will be on view in New York Public Library's Stephen A.
Schwarzman Building through April 3, 2024.

There is a much more extensive online component at:

https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.nypl.org/events/exhibitions/125-years-dorot-jewish-division__;!!KGKeukY!2KafTSeWi8GEBduhl662k1qsm0AHsc43qHaKnV06RLCltCcCZVvaKD54htRmJ47tQE6kS9QpE5cwdEZpKMRhYfXXMQ$
 

Here is some more information.

The Dorot Jewish Division at The New York Public Library is the oldest
publicly accessible collection of Jewish materials in the United States.
Comprising more than 250,000 items spanning almost 800 years of Jewish
civilization and traditions across the globe, the Division’s collections
are internationally recognized for their rich legacy, magnitude, and
breadth. Since its founding in 1897, the Dorot Jewish Division has served
as a central reference hub by the compilers of modern Jewish encyclopedias
and dictionaries. In 2022, when the Division marked its 125th anniversary,
plans were put in place to make a range of materials from the collections
more widely accessible to researchers around the world through a major
online exhibition, which is now available to all.

The artifacts in this online exhibition have been chosen for their
historical significance, originality, and artistry, including materials
that reflect the history and vibrant culture of Jewish communities all over
the world, from the Renaissance to the 20th century. Explore more than 100
items from the collections in our online exhibition, including rare
manuscripts; treasures of early book printing; materials describing the
meeting of tradition and modernity in the 18th and 19th centuries; vital
documents that bear witness to the tragedies of the 20th century and the
resilience of Jewish communities; and items that offer insight into Jewish
life in New York and the United States.

>From February 17 to April 3, 2024, a selection of items from the exhibition
are on display in the McGraw Rotunda on the third floor of The New York
Public Library's Stephen A. Schwarzman Building
.

*This exhibition is organized by The New York Public Library and curated by
Lyudmila Sholokhova, Curator of the Dorot Jewish Division.*

[ha-Safran] Tribute to Roberta Saltzman on her 10th yortsayt

2023-12-29 Thread Amanda Seigel via Hasafran

Dear Safranim,

I'm posting in memory of our brilliant and dedicated colleague, Roberta
Saltzman (1960-2013), who was former Assistant Chief of the New York Public
Library’s Dorot Jewish Division.

She was a dedicated and passionate librarian known for her meticulous
cataloging, research, and bibliographic skills, and her efforts to build
the Library's Jewish cookbook collection.

Roberta was a generous, kind, and helpful colleague.

It's hard to believe that her 10th yortsayt is approaching.

Here is a brief tribute to Roberta:

I wish everyone a happy, healthy, and peaceful 2024.

[ha-Safran] Invest in Libraries: Please sign pledge to advocate for NYC public library funding

2023-12-12 Thread Amanda Seigel via Hasafran

Dear Safranim,

Please sign this pledge of support for New York City's public libraries and
feel free to forward it to others.

https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://investinlibraries.org/__;!!KGKeukY!3BAJs365cD3QLsgIDlMT0jd9DWhnUTkUqiCvDnPs70NYz900O6c5j3ute4ZjeAz96qmCye3ZAzT_jJjLJ4Lc_r74vA$
 

New York City's public libraries recently lost seven-day library service
(meaning no more Sunday service, for the most part) and we are now in
danger of losing universal six-day service, all due to budget cuts.

The Dorot Jewish Division is just one part of a major library system that
provides research and borrowing materials, programming, and vital services
for New Yorkers of all ages and backgrounds, all for free. Please help us
to continue our work for the community.

Here are more details:

"Statement from Brooklyn Public Library, The New York Public Library, and
Queens Public Library on Fiscal Year 2024 Budget Cuts

December 11, 2023—“This coming weekend marks the last day of seven-day
service at New York City libraries, the result of the 5% mid-year City
budget cut announced last month. Recently, the Brooklyn, Queens, and New
York public libraries were instructed to meet another 5% mid-year budget
cut in January. If this additional round of budget cuts is enacted,
libraries will be forced to further reduce hours, including ending
universal six-day service, which New Yorkers fought hard to restore in
2015. We know that public libraries and the vital services we provide are a
lifeline for many New Yorkers, and remain committed to continuing to serve
our communities as best we can in these challenging times.”

Thank you in advance for your support!

Sincerely,

--

[ha-Safran] Chasing Bruno Schulz: Benjamin Balint with Joshua Cohen (NYPL Public Program on Thursday, October 19, 2023)

2023-09-30 Thread Amanda Seigel via Hasafran

Dear Safranim,

You are cordially invited to an upcoming program at NYPL:

Chasing Bruno Schulz: Benjamin Balint with Joshua Cohen

Thu. Oct 19, 2023 7:00pm - 8:00pm EDT

Celeste Auditorium (Lower Level)

The New York Public Library, Stephen A. Schwarzman Building, 42nd Street &
5th Avenue
New York, NY 10018

Free - Please register here



Balint discusses his fresh portrait of the Polish-Jewish writer and artist
and the gripping account of the secret operation to rescue Schulz's last
artworks.

Isaac Bashevis Singer called Bruno Schulz "one of the most remarkable
writers who ever lived." A master of 20th-century imaginative fiction who
mapped the anxious perplexities of his time, Schulz was also a talented
illustrator and graphic artist whose masochistic drawings would catch the
eye of a sadistic Nazi officer. Drawing on extensive new reporting and
archival research, Benjamin Balint's new biography follows the murals
Schulz painted on the walls of an SS villa into multiple dimensions of the
artist's life and afterlife. Sixty years after Schulz was murdered, his
murals were miraculously rediscovered, only to be secretly smuggled by
Israeli agents to Jerusalem.

Balint speaks with Pulitzer Prize–winning novelist Joshua Cohen about the
ensuing international furor that raised questions about who has the right
to curate orphaned artworks and to construe their meanings—and about who
can claim guardianship over the legacy of Jews who were killed by the Nazis.

*The annual Joy Gottesman Ungerleider Lecture explores themes represented
in the holdings of The New York Public Library's Dorot Jewish Division.
This series has been made possible by a generous grant from the Dorot
Foundation.*

I am helping out a potential MLIS student and she is considering Syracuse.

Has anyone attended the online MLIS program at Syracuse recently, or know
someone who has? Or, do you have recommendations for a good and affordable
online MLIS program?

One colleague shared this helpful spreadsheet, "MLIS tuition & areas of

[ha-Safran] Emergency Assistance to Jewish Scholars in Ukraine (Applications open)

2023-07-10 Thread Amanda Seigel via Hasafran

Dear Safranim,

I'm sharing this on behalf of Prof. Magda Teter.

Please share.

Emergency Assistance to Jewish Scholars in Ukraine:

This program has been made possible by the generosity and collaboration of
leading North American Jewish Studies centers, philanthropic foundations,
and academic organizations and societies. Please see the bottom of this
page for a list of the contributing partners.

Applications are now open for fellowships for Jewish studies scholars
affected by the current war in Ukraine. In addition to the financial
support of up to $3,000, the fellowship also offers remote access to
library resources at Fordham University and the NYPL, especially NYPL’s
Dorot Jewish Division and the Slavic collection, membership in the
Association for Jewish Studies, and professional development virtual
workshops jointly led by the American Academy for Jewish Research and
Fordham.

Priority will be given to Ukrainian scholars in Jewish Studies who have
remained in Ukraine. Applications can be submitted in Ukrainian, Russian
and English. Knowledge of English is needed to take full advantage of all
the benefits that this program offers.

Applications should be in English, but applications in Ukrainian or Russian
will be accepted, and consist of statements of research interests and
resources needed as well as a current CV. Review of applications will begin
on August 15 and continue so long as funding is available.

[ha-Safran] Rose Family Seder Books - now on display at New York Public Library through April 13, 2023

2023-03-31 Thread Amanda Seigel via Hasafran

Dear Safranim,

You are invited to a free pop-up exhibition on the Rose Family Seder Books,
located in the McGraw Rotunda of the Stephen A. Schwarzman Building at
Fifth Avenue and 42nd Street in New York City, through April 13, 2023.

The Rose Family Seder Books are unique collections of Passover-themed
artwork. For over 60 years, the Rose family has commissioned artwork from
some of the most prominent American artists to create these seder books as
part of a family tradition around Passover—the annual Jewish holiday
celebrating the Israelites’ freedom from slavery in ancient Egypt. Thanks
to the Rose family’s continuing generosity, the books are now part of the
Library’s Dorot Jewish Division.

Artists and approaches represented in this decades-long collaboration range
from New York social realist Jack Levine to New York Review of Books
caricaturist David Levine and include some of the most prominent American
artists of the 20th century. Many of the contributors were Jewish, often
from New York. Some, including Saul Raskin, Leonard Baskin, and Larry
Rivers, were already famous for treating Jewish themes; others, such as
Seymour Chwast and Milton Glaser, were not. Other notable contributors
include the Spanish-American Expressionist Federico Castellón and the
Israeli Social Realist Naftali Bezem. Materials and techniques employed in
these volumes range from a stained-glass window design executed in mylar to
several pages of Frank Stella’s sculptural paper puzzle constructions.

This year's display features illustrations by Mark Podwal (b. 1945) and
Laurent de Brunhoff (b. 1925). Podwal is a contemporary American artist
based in New York City. He is well known for his visually striking and
unique interpretations of traditional Jewish texts and legends. Paris-born
author and illustrator Laurent de Brunhoff is the son of artist Jean de
Brunhoff, who created the book Histoire de Babar, le petit éléphant (1931),
which was an instant hit and a bestseller. Laurent, who inherited his
father’s artistic gift, wrote and illustrated numerous books about Babar
and his kingdom that inspired several films, television series, and video
games. His elephant characters have been celebrated and beloved by many
generations of children from around the world.

Sponsors:
Support for The New York Public Library’s Exhibitions Program has been
provided by Celeste Bartos, Sue and Edgar Wachenheim III, Mahnaz Ispahani
Bartos and Adam Bartos Exhibitions Fund, and Jonathan Altman.

Sincerely,

Amanda

[ha-Safran] “As if we really were bearing witness”: Connecting Talented High School Actors with the Sala Garncarz Collection of the Holocaust Letters By Lyudmila Sholokhova, Curator, Dorot Jewish Divi

2023-02-03 Thread Amanda Seigel via Hasafran

Dear Safranim,

Please enjoy this new blog post by the Dorot Jewish Division's Curator, Dr.
Lyudmila Sholokhova.

“As if we really were bearing witness”: Connecting Talented High School
Actors with the Sala Garncarz Collection of the Holocaust Letters By
Lyudmila Sholokhova, Curator, Dorot Jewish Division

Mila writes: "Sala Garncarz, a young girl from Poland, was imprisoned in
seven Nazi camps between 1940–1945, but miraculously survived. She
preserved over 300 letters written to her during the war. Learn how this
unique collection inspires young students today.
As a curator, I am often amazed by how some important things evolve from
our work naturally as if life itself exposes us to the opportunities to
help build meaningful connections.
Just recently, visits of two gifted high school students and actors
Lucienne Lemieux and Sam Yates and their families from Decatur, Georgia,
brought some fresh uplifting perspectives to the importance of the Sala
Garncarz collection of the Holocaust letters."

reference works on Judaism that would be appropriate for a public research
library?

I'm looking for materials that are comprehensive, inclusive, scholarly yet
accessible, and up to date as much as is possible in a printed reference
work.

Thank you, and wish you a shana tova, gmar khatima tova, and/or happy
beginning of autumn.

Sincerely,

Amanda

[ha-Safran] Overture of Hope: Two Sisters' Daring Plan that Saved Opera's Jewish Stars from the Third Reich, by Isabel Vincent @NYPL Sept. 14

2022-09-06 Thread Amanda Seigel via Hasafran

Dear Safranim,

Please join us on Wednesday, September 14th at 1pm EST for The New York
Public Library's next Work/Cited program, which will take place online.

Overture of Hope: Two Sisters' Daring Plan that Saved Opera's Jewish Stars
from the Third Reich is a new book by Isabel Vincent, who will talk with
NYPL's Melanie Locay on Work/Cited Episode 18.
Wednesday September 14, 2022, 1 - 2 PM ET

Visit: 
https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://on.nypl.org/3QXr814__;!!KGKeukY!zsEk8lT6a6H2RlADVQTAim1bYpUwQKIgenX3M0xjhx6osps79BhgmRa9kUKHFJQZkMs5OAZiGMcL0qx5azOTaJymZA$
  

Ida and Louise Cook, British sisters and passionate opera devotees,
befriended some of the biggest opera stars of the 1920s and 1930s —
ultimately setting the stage for unlikely rescue missions of Jewish
musicians and performers from Third Reich Germany and Austria.  They were
aided by an even more unlikely ally, Austrian conductor Clemens Krauss, a
favorite of Adolph Hitler.

In this episode, Vincent will share how the material she consulted across
the Library's research collections brought to life "two plucky British
music fans" and their efforts to save dozens through means that "resembled
the elaborate plots of some of their favorite operas."

You can register here for the online event:

Work/Cited showcases the latest scholarship supported by the rich
collections of the Library with a behind-the-scenes look at how the
finished product was inspired, researched, and created.

Sincerely,

Amanda

[ha-Safran] Fordham-NYPL Lecture Series in Jewish Studies: Elizabeth Polack, Jewish Emancipation, and the Archive of Nineteenth-Century Melodrama

2022-01-10 Thread Amanda Seigel via Hasafran

Dear Safranim,

You are cordially invited:

Wednesday, February 2, 2022 at 4PM:

Title: Fordham-NYPL Lecture Series in Jewish Studies: Elizabeth Polack,
Jewish Emancipation, and the Archive of Nineteenth-Century Melodrama

Elizabeth Polack is the earliest known Jewish woman playwright in Britain.
We know very little about her life, but her entertaining melodramas in the
late 1830s made lasting impact, so that people were still talking about the
spectacular murder mystery The Echo of Westminster Bridge well into the
twentieth century. They address pressing issues such as the struggle for
the emancipation of the Jews and of women at a time when both were
subjected to overwhelming legal and cultural disabilities. And they brought
together in public theatres in largely Jewish neighborhoods both Jewish and
non-Jewish audiences to mingle while enjoying plays such as Esther, the
Royal Jewess, or the Death of Haman!, even though it was clearly a
Purimspiel as well as a melodrama. Although recovering a forgotten but
significant Jewish woman writer is part of my goal in this project, I also
want to emphasize the value of Polack's gathering diverse communities in
the same playhouse to enjoy theatrical performance.


Sharon Aronofsky Weltman is the Director of Comparative Literature at LSU,
the Davis Alumni Professor of English, and co-editor of Nineteenth-Century
Theatre and Film. Her most recent book, Victorians on Broadway: Literature,
Adaptation, and the Modern American Musical (University of Virginia Press,
2020), was named a “MUST READ” summer theatre book by Playbill in 2020, is
a Top 40 academic best seller in theatre and music, according to Library
Journal (March 2021), and it won the 2021 SCMLA Book Prize. One chapter
focuses on performing Jewishness in the musical Oliver!. Her article
“Melodrama, Purimspiel, and Jewish Emancipation” on the first Anglo-Jewish
woman playwright won the 2020 Nineteenth Century Studies Association Best
Article Prize. In September and October 2021, she was thrilled to visit the
New York City Public Library’s collections on a Fordham-NYPL Short-Term
Research Fellowship in Jewish Studies to work on Elizabeth Polack and her
contemporaries. In April 2022, she will begin her time as the Margaret
Belcher Visiting Fellowship in Victorian Studies at St Hughs College,
Oxford University, where she will continue her research on Polack.

We received a call from a library patron who, though we were able to help
her with her research somewhat, she specifically asked to talk to a native
Hebrew speaking librarian.
Is there someone among you who would be willing to converse with her as one

I'm sure she would appreciate it very much.
Her address is y...@feldheim.com; phone is 845-587-3035
Thank you, and wishing you all a very happy and healthy 2022.

[ha-Safran] Talmud ebooks?

2021-11-01 Thread Amanda Seigel via Hasafran

Dear Safranim,

We received a reader request for Talmud ebooks, for example for readers who
have trouble getting to the library, and/or find ebooks more convenient.

Do you and/or your readers use ebooks to study Talmud? Do you use
Sefaria.org to do so? Are there other sites or ebook vendors that you would
recommend for studying Talmud?

I am interested in hearing your ideas and suggestions. Thanks!

Sincerely,

Amanda

[ha-Safran] Paid fact checker sought for a Scholastic children's book project on the late Yaffa Eliach and the Holocaust

2021-09-21 Thread Amanda Seigel via Hasafran

Dear Safranim,

I've received the following request from Karen, an editor at Scholastic,
who is seeking a paid fact checker for a book project. Please contact Karen
directly at kvanros...@scholastic.com for more information.

"This is the story behind the Tower of Life, a permanent exhibit at the
National Holocaust Museum in Washington, DC. The subject of the story,
Yaffa Eliach, wrote a book about it called There Once Was a World: A 900
Year Chronicle of The Shtetl of Eishyshok, and was a world-renowned scholar
of Holocaust history.

We are looking for a reader with an expertise in the Holocaust,
specifically in Poland. The reader should have a critical eye toward
historical and cultural accuracy. She'd like a thorough fact check to be
sure all dates and historical details are correct in the text, back matter
and illustrations of this 40-page nonfiction illustrated picture book
written for children ages 6-10.

A stipend is provided for the fact checking.

We are hoping this could be completed by October 5th.

I have included a synopsis of the picture book below.

Thanks in advance for your help.

All the best,

Karen

Expert reader request:
The story begins with Yaffa Eliach, a spirited young girl who grows up in a
vibrant, happy 800-year-old town in Poland, filled with family life and
rich traditions. Yaffa’s grandmother, who receives a gift of a camera from
America, becomes the village photographer, and takes photos of all the
family events: weddings, bar mitzvahs, and family gatherings. And on the
Jewish New Year, the villagers send photos to their relatives overseas to
wish them a "Gut Yontif"!

But one dark day, the town is invaded. And quickly the once happy home to
5,000 Jewish people is uprooted. Yaffa survives the war and becomes a
Professor of History and America’s foremost Holocaust expert. And when
President Jimmy Carter invites her to create an exhibit for the new
National Holocaust Museum in Washington, DC, she travels around the world
hunting down her grandmother’s photos taken of people who fled from her
beloved town, Eishyshok, along with their stories and memories. This
breathtaking revival of the town’s collective spirit, which is a permanent
exhibit at The National Holocaust Museum in Washington DC, will inspire all
who read it.

Associated item: Nonfiction Picture Book / 40 pages

What is the read-by deadline?: 10/5/2021
Division: Trade
Format: Picture book
Audience: Elementary (6-10 yrs old)
Type of reader needed: Fact Checker

Please contact Karen at kvanros...@scholastic.com

Sincerely,
Amanda

I have some LGBTQ Jewish blog posts up already and am currently working on
a research guide that's not quite ready (there are sections for memoirs and
autobiography, faith and identity, and anthologies, to start). Everything
listed here is available through The New York Public Library.

I am interested in learning about what other resources people have to
share, too.

[ha-Safran] just in time for Passover - new Jewish cookbooks guide

2021-03-25 Thread Amanda Seigel via Hasafran

Dear Safranim,

Just in time for Passover, there is a new LibGuide on the Jewish cookbook
collection at NYPL:

https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://libguides.nypl.org/Jewishcookbooks__;!!KGKeukY!iIOb1M3pLh2PEfb0Ng--iFU4eM0LXZPO2qGkW483hz7L40H5x2-rGeXrW53rUZFid4A$
 

Please visit the guide to find out about the Dorot Jewish Division's
incredible collection of more than 2500 Jewish cookbooks from around the
world.

Many of you knew the wonderful Roberta Saltzman z"l (1960-2013), who
generously built the cookbook collection while serving as the Assistant
Chief of the Dorot Jewish Division.

The collection, and Roberta's collection work, are highlighted in a new
article:

Ewbank, Anne. "Inside the World’s Largest Jewish Cookbook Collection: A
librarian with a love for eBay built this trove of culinary history." Atlas
Obscura. March 24, 2021.
Read it at:

Wishing a sweet and kosher Passover and/or spring season to all of you.

Best wishes,

Amanda

[ha-Safran] Diamonstein-Spielvogel Fellowship Program for advanced research at the Center for Research in the Humanities, New York Public Library

2021-03-22 Thread Amanda Seigel via Hasafran

Dear Safranim,

The New York Public Library is pleased to announce the
Diamonstein-Spielvogel Fellowship Program to support advanced research at
the Center for Research in the Humanities, located in the Library’s
flagship Stephen A. Schwarzman Building. Fellowships are open to Ph.D.
candidates, post-Doctoral scholars, and independent researchers studying
the humanities and the history, literature, and culture of peoples
represented throughout the collections housed at the Schwarzman Building.
Projects requiring access to original materials including special
collections, photography, prints, and maps will be given preference, but
all worthy projects in history and the humanities will be considered.
Applicants working in the visual, auditory/performing, and literary arts
are welcome to apply. Projects focused on science, technology, psychology,
public policy, education, and other areas are eligible, but only if the
proposed project is centered on typically humanities-related methodologies.

Established with the generous support of the Diamonstein-Spielvogel
Foundation, the Fellowship Program will support five Diamonstein-Spielvogel
Fellows (with a total of 26 fellowships awarded over five years) for four
concurrent months during the academic year with a stipend of $26,000.

Key Dates:

Applications open: March 11, 2021
Application deadline: April 18, 2021
Applicant notification: May 14, 2021
Award period: Fall 2021 or Spring 2022

Information and application:
https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.nypl.org/fellowships/diamonstein-spielvogel-fellowship-program__;!!KGKeukY!iComDaPKYnCmbkRRO6iLnpH7iqoqiwqNVdw83WdxLCCNw1QoN15k8QmfSjhIb1XUL5M$
 

Questions about the Diamonstein-Spielvogel Fellowship Program and the
application process should be directed to fellowsh...@nypl.org. Please
visit our Research Divisions page for detailed information about the
research resources of the Schwarzman Building.

Eligibility:

It is the Diamonstein-Spielvogel Foundation and the Library’s intention for
the Fellowship Program to include support for under-resourced and
underrepresented communities in the humanities. Only U.S. citizens,
permanent residents, and foreign nationals who have been in residence in
the United States for at least three years as of the application closing
date are eligible to apply.

Application Instructions:

To apply for this fellowship, please visit the NYPL Fellowship Portal. A
complete application must include:

A profile and application form completed in the fellowship portal
A research proposal of 5-10 double spaced pages including a detailed
discussion of a specific result or contrete manifestation dependent upon
the research
An updated CV
An example of the applicant's research (e.g. article or book chapter)
Two professional letters of recommendation

Selection Criteria:

Applications will be reviewed by a Selection Committee composed of
curators, librarians, and expert senior Library staff. They will consider
several criteria, including:

Qualifications of the applicant
Quality and feasibility of the project plan
Relationship of the project to the humanities
Relationship of the project to the resources of the Schwarzman Building

Fellowship Terms:

Fellows are granted a quiet, reserved workspace in the Center for Research
in the Humanities and full access to the Library’s collections and digital
resources. During the first week of their arrival, Fellows will receive an
orientation to the Library and will receive ongoing guidance in their
research from the Library’s expert curators, librarians, and staff, upon
request. Beyond daily research and writing, fellows are invited into NYPL’s
broader intellectual life anchored at the Center by attending or
collaborating with staff on research programs such as Doc Chat, Work/Cited,
or Works in Progress sessions.

As part of the Library’s educational mission and the Diamonstein-Spielvogel
Foundation’s commitment to expanding knowledge in the humanities more
broadly, and to provide Fellows with public platforms for their scholarship
and research, each Fellow will be required to participate in at least two
outreach activities to share their project, work, or expertise in a public
forum. These may take the form of an onsite or virtual program, lecture,
collections tour, panel discussion, or approved original presentation, at
the Library’s discretion. The Library will also support fellows in writing
guest posts for NYPL’s blog, and when appropriate, collaborate with fellows
to organize a research symposium centered on their project focus.

Information and application:

[ha-Safran] about Yizkor book question

2021-02-19 Thread Amanda Seigel via Hasafran

Dear Sally and Safranim,

I have been following with interest the conversation about yizkor books.

NYPL has two yizkor books for Lipkany:

Lipḳan fun amol (1957)
Ḳehilat Lipḳani : sefer zikaron (1963).

Both are listed in our Yizkor books LibGuide with links to the catalog
record and digitized versions  (I recommend using the PDFs from the Yiddish
Book Center)
Here is a link to the guide:
https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://libguides.nypl.org/c.php?g=866496=6468924__;!!KGKeukY!n33S07gG5tNG619g8rQIHFHDH-d34LS3eKQK1AaQGprEBimP90Stq8eCMSkb5ISgg9Q$
 

English translations, often partial, are generally on JewishGen. Here's a
link:
https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/translations.html*L__;Iw!!KGKeukY!n33S07gG5tNG619g8rQIHFHDH-d34LS3eKQK1AaQGprEBimP90Stq8eCMSkbbPYIq_c$
 

Yes, there are many ongoing efforts to translate yizkor books into English
since the majority are in Hebrew, Yiddish, and a few other languages
besides English.
Maybe you could get together with some other landslayt to sponsor a
translation.

In addition, there is an OCR (optical character recognition) keyword search
available online for digitized yizkor books. Here's where to find it:

1) Genealogy Indexer -  keyword search in the Latin, Hebrew, or Cyrillic
alphabet here: 
https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://genealogyindexer.org/yizkor__;!!KGKeukY!n33S07gG5tNG619g8rQIHFHDH-d34LS3eKQK1AaQGprEBimP90Stq8eCMSkbdcd84uw$
 
2) Yiddish Book Center - keyword search in the Hebrew alphabet here:
https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://ocr.yiddishbookcenter.org/accounts/login/__;!!KGKeukY!n33S07gG5tNG619g8rQIHFHDH-d34LS3eKQK1AaQGprEBimP90Stq8eCMSkbm_5kIKo$
 

Our staff is also available to help with checking the table of contents or
index - please contact us if you have any questions.

Best wishes,

Amanda

Subject: [ha-Safran] Yizkor book question
Dear Safranim,
Hope you are all well. I have a question about finding digitized online
translations of a Yizkor book, Lipkan fun amol (Lipcan of Old)

I've
only seen two or three chapters of the book in English online.

My grandfather was born Lipkan, Bessarabia. If there are any other

[ha-Safran] new Library card applications (in connection with the new LibGuide on Electronic Resources in Dorot)

2020-10-22 Thread Amanda Seigel via Hasafran

Dear Safranim,
Some of you contacted me about Library card applications at NYPL in
connection with the new LibGuide.
The Library's website is somewhat confusing and it's in the process of
being revised.
Please note:
1) Even if you do not live, work, attend school, or pay property taxes in
NYS, you can still get a Library card as a visitor, albeit for a shorter
duration.
2) The workaround for out-of-state applicants (for now) is to fill out the
following form: https://www.nypl.org/library-card/new/
<https://www.nypl.org/library-card/new/> (ignore the popup at the top
and/or any messages saying your application could not be processed) and
email dorotjew...@nypl.org .
Please also feel free to email me directly at amandasei...@nypl.org
3) More information and an updated application will be posted on the
website in a few weeks, but for now this is how to do it.
We appreciate your patience.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
Best wishes,
Amanda

[ha-Safran] Register now! "Feminine Power in the History of American Jewish Museums" - lecture by Ariel Paige Cohen on Thursday, Sept. 24 at 4 PM EST

2020-09-23 Thread Amanda Seigel via Hasafran

Dear Safranim,
I'm wishing a happy, healthy, and sweet new year / fall season to all.

You are cordially invited to an online conversation:

 "Feminine Power in the History of American Jewish Museums"
Thursday, September 24, 2020
4 p.m. EDT

Ariel Cohen, University of Virginia

Online conversation via Zoom (link to be sent out 1 day prior)  - RSVP at
https://forever.fordham.edu/s/1362/18/interior.aspx?sid=1362=1=8778_id=9153

Established in 1947, the Jewish Museum on 5th Avenue in the former home of
Felix Warburg and Frieda Schiff Warburg is America’s most widely known
symbol of Jewish art history. But what most don’t think about is that it is
also a symbol of what Ariel Cohen calls Jewish “feminine power.” What makes
Jewish Art History in America “feminine?” What is “feminine power?” In her
research on American Jewish museums, Cohen expected to find archives full
of the stories of the men who founded Jewish museums – Cyrus Adler, first
curator of Judaica at the Smithsonian in DC; Alexander Marx, chief
librarian of the Seminary and visionary of its Museum of Ceremonial
Objects; and others. What she found instead were the stories of four
American Jewish women who made Jewish public culture a “thing.” From a
Russian immigrant secretary to a rebbetzin, from a public philanthropist to
an artist and curator’s wife, these women are connected by a shared drive:
to offer Jews connections to their roots and ancestry, and to self-
describe Jews in galleries for a wide audience of Jews and gentiles. The
spaces they built would offer Jews deeper connections to their roots and
strengthen their Jewish identities. This talk will discuss the women who
changed the landscape of American Jewish culture indelibly. It will present
a body of evidence pointing to “feminine power” in American Jewish history
as found in American Jewish art museums.

Respondent: Susan Chevlowe, PhD, is Director and Chief Curator of Derfner
Judaica and The Art Collection at the Hebrew Home at Riverdale. She is a
former curator at the Jewish Museum, New York.

This event is co-presented with the New York Public Library and the Jewish
Museum.

[ha-Safran] CFP - Critical Ethnic Studies in Academic and Research Libraries

2020-09-08 Thread Amanda Seigel via Hasafran

Dear Safranim,
I am posting this on behalf of colleagues. Apologies for any duplication.
Please contact them with any questions.
Sincerely,
Amanda



Colleagues,


We are issuing a call for proposals for an edited volume tentatively
titled, *Critical Ethnic Studies in Academic and Research Libraries* to be
published by ACRL.

This book focuses on how academic and research libraries respond and
support ethnic studies, an interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary field.
The book aims to highlight case studies on the role of the
academic/research library workers n supporting ethnic studies programs
(e.g. African American/Black Studies, Asian/Pacific American Studies,
Native American/Indigenous Studies, Jewish Studies, Middle Eastern American
Studies, Chicanx/Latinx Studies) through a variety of approaches such as
library instruction, outreach, liaison engagement, collections strategy,
curriculum support, special collections, digital scholarship/humanities,

[ha-Safran] Online events at NYPL: Natan Sharansky/David Remnick - Sept. 10, and Ariel Cohen - Sept. 24

2020-09-03 Thread Amanda Seigel via Hasafran

Dear Safranim,

Public Library:

Never Alone: Natan Sharansky and David Remnick
Thursday, September 10, 2020 8:00pm - 9:00pm EDT

 "Feminine Power in the History of American Jewish Museums"
Thursday, September 24, 2020
4 p.m. EDT

Ariel Cohen, University of Virginia

Online conversation via Zoom (link to be sent out 1 day prior)  - RSVP at
https://forever.fordham.edu/s/1362/18/interior.aspx?sid=1362=1=8778_id=9153

Established in 1947, the Jewish Museum on 5th Avenue in the former home of
Felix Warburg and Frieda Schiff Warburg is America’s most widely known
symbol of Jewish art history. But what most don’t think about is that it is
also a symbol of what Ariel Cohen calls Jewish “feminine power.” What makes
Jewish Art History in America “feminine?” What is “feminine power?” In her
research on American Jewish museums, Cohen expected to find archives full
of the stories of the men who founded Jewish museums – Cyrus Adler, first
curator of Judaica at the Smithsonian in DC; Alexander Marx, chief
librarian of the Seminary and visionary of its Museum of Ceremonial
Objects; and others. What she found instead were the stories of four
American Jewish women who made Jewish public culture a “thing.” From a
Russian immigrant secretary to a rebbetzin, from a public philanthropist to
an artist and curator’s wife, these women are connected by a shared drive:
to offer Jews connections to their roots and ancestry, and to self-
describe Jews in galleries for a wide audience of Jews and gentiles. The
spaces they built would offer Jews deeper connections to their roots and
strengthen their Jewish identities. This talk will discuss the women who
changed the landscape of American Jewish culture indelibly. It will present
a body of evidence pointing to “feminine power” in American Jewish history
as found in American Jewish art museums.

Respondent: Susan Chevlowe, PhD, is Director and Chief Curator of Derfner
Judaica and The Art Collection at the Hebrew Home at Riverdale. She is a
former curator at the Jewish Museum, New York.

This event is co-presented with the New York Public Library and the Jewish
Museum.

[ha-Safran] query about the company DiGento

2020-05-01 Thread Amanda Seigel via Hasafran

Dear Safranim,
Does anyone (particular academic librarians and/or those working with
German and European collections) have experience working with the company
DiGento? They deal with library collections, especially electronic
resources.

I received an inquiry from a researcher about doing business with DiGento
and am trying to find out more.

Please feel free to reply to me privately.

Thanks, and I hope everyone is staying healthy and safe.

Sincerely,

Amanda

[ha-Safran] YIVO library staff layoffs and letter to YIVO Board

2020-01-21 Thread Amanda Seigel via Hasafran

Dear Safranim,

YIVO Institute for Jewish Research has just eliminated its entire library
staff, citing financial constraints.
This article in the Forward by Aiden Pink provides more information:
https://forward.com/news/national/438538/yivo-yiddish-library/
Concerned parties are asked to read and sign a letter to the YIVO Board
calling for "the immediate reinstatement of the library staff, and for more
financial transparency, and accountability, to the scholarly community that
carries on this work".
Here is a link to the letter:

2019-11-04 Thread Amanda Seigel via Hasafran

Dear Safranim,

You are cordially invited:

Monday, November 25th, 6PM

Fordham-NYPL Lecture Series

David Assaf, Tel Aviv University - Fordham/NYPL Research Fellow in
Jewish Studies
‘To My Beloved Teacher in Eretz Israel’: Childhood, Diaspora, and
Zionism in Letters Written by Hebrew School Pupils in Interwar Poland

David Assaf will discuss a treasure trove of some ninety letters
written in 1935 by Polish Jewish children (age 12-13) who studied in
the Tarbut school north of Warsaw to their teacher who immigrated to
Palestine. These moving letters of elementary school pupils (not young
adults like those who participated in YIVO competitions for
autobiographies) offer a very rare glimpse into  childhood of Jewish
children in interwar Poland.

Fordham University-Lincoln Center
McMahon 109
155 West 60th Street
New York, NY

[ha-Safran] Lecture: A history of the Jewish Theater in Buenos Aires - Thursday, Oct. 3 in NYC

2019-09-05 Thread Amanda Seigel via Hasafran

Dear Safranim,

You are cordially invited:

Fordham-New York Public Library Jewish Studies Lecture Series:

"A history of the Jewish Theater in Buenos Aires: from the star system
to the Idisher Folks Teater (1930-1960)"

Paula Ansaldo, University of Buenos Aires

Thursday, October 3, 2019, 6 p.m.

Fordham University-Lincoln Center, 155 West 60th Street, McMahon 109

During the first decades of the twentieth century, a large population
of Yiddish-speaking Jews settled in Buenos Aires escaping from
European hard living conditions and anti-Semitism. As a result, a rich
Yiddish cultural life began to grow and Buenos Aires became one of the
main centers of Yiddish theater between 1930 and 1960. In this talk,
Paula Ansaldo will explore the development of the Jewish Theater in
Argentina, giving special attention to the history of the Idisher
Folks Teater (IFT): the first Jewish theater company formed by local
actors and actresses that performed in Buenos Aires on a regular
basis.

All Fordham events in Jewish Studies are free and open to the public.

The Fordham-NYPL Fellowship Program in Jewish Studies is made possible
by the Eugene Shvidler Gift Fund at Fordham University and additional
gift funds to Jewish Studies at Fordham University. This joint
fellowship program is for scholars in all fields of Jewish Studies
from outside the New York City metropolitan area and provides support
for their on-site research, especially the Dorot Jewish Division.
Fellows will receive an affiliation with Fordham University for the
duration of their fellowship, and deliver one public presentation and
one faculty seminar.

[ha-Safran] publishers for Holocaust survivor memoirs (re-submitting query)

2019-05-29 Thread Amanda Seigel via Hasafran

Dear Safranim,

I'm re-submitting my query about publishers for Holocaust survivor memoirs
a second time following the long Memorial Day weekend in the U.S.

Thank you to everyone who has answered already. I really appreciate the
feedback.

Again, the query is: I've received a few inquiries recently from
researchers/writers seeking publishers for Holocaust memoirs in English.

Amsterdam Publishing, Azrieli Foundaiton (Second Story Press), Gefen
Publishing, and Valentine Mitchell are a few of the names I've encountered
so far.

Do you have any experience with these publishers, or recommendations?

Please contact me at amandasei...@nypl.org

Thanks for your assistance.

Sincerely,

Amanda

The artists, activists, workers, wives, and mothers who helped create
Jewish American identity.
America's Jewish Women: From the poet Grace Seixas Nathan and her
great-granddaughter, Emma Lazarus, to labor organizer Bessie Hillman and
Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Jewish women have been at the forefront of causes
promoting suffrage, trade unions, civil rights, feminism, and Jewish rights
around the world. Pamela S. Nadell, the Patrick Clendenen Chair in Women’s
and Gender History and director of Jewish studies at American University,
attributes the advances made by Jewish American women to their strong sense
of self and a resolute commitment to making the world a better place.

Nadell will be joined in conversation by Gal Beckerman, a writer and editor
at The New York Times Book Review.

Sincerely,

Amanda

Subject: [ha-Safran] Jewish LGBTQ list of books
here are some I culled from otherlists

 it's a Jewish/Feminist/Lesbian/Queer parenting book:

Greenberg, Julie  *Just Parenting: Building the World One Family at a Time,*
 2014  (It's a mixture of memoir and self-help.)

-

Rabbi Julie Greenberg

  She/Her/Hers







Mychal edited a book called Struggling in Good Faith.  I wrote the chapter
on LGBTQ Jews.





Professor Marla Brettshneider:

 coming out in 2018 or early 2019

** A Special JEWISH ISSUES of the Journal of Lesbian Studies

My intro to that volume should serve as a great reference of lots of
lesbian (mostly) Jewish work…



My 2 othe rfull-length  lgbtq works in 2017 and 2018 aren’t specifically
Jewish



But my:

2016 Jewish Feminism and Intersectionality is jewish & queer



And my:

2015 The Jewish Phenomenon in Sub-Saharan Africa: The politics of
contradictory discourses has feminist and queer stuff in it- when NO other
work in the field does.



I would also include Joyce’s new book- has more on lesbians that MOST works

Antler, Joyce. *Jewish Radical Feminism: Voices from the Women's Liberation
Movement*. New York, NY: New York University Press, 2018.

[ha-Safran] Lecture by Michal Ben Ya’akov, Nov. 6, 2018 at Fordham Univ. - American Jews Meet Moroccan Jews during the 1940s and 1950s

2018-10-26 Thread Amanda Seigel via Hasafran

Dear Safranim,

You are cordially invited to the first lecture in the 2018-2019 lecture
series by Fordham-NYPL Research Fellows in Jewish Studies.

The Fordham-NYPL Lecture Series presents:

American Jews Meet Moroccan Jews during the 1940s and 1950s

Michal Ben Ya’akov, Emuna-Efrata College

Tuesday, November 6, 2018
6:00 PM

Fordham Law School - Lincoln Center
Lowenstein, Room 524
113 West 60th Street
New York, NY 10023

Click here to RSVP or email jewishstud...@fordham.edu

For more information, contact Magda Teter at 347-364-3472 or
jewishstud...@fordham.edu.

In this lecture, Ben Ya’akov will explore how, despite sporadic contact
between American Jews with Jewish communities in North Africa during the
nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, North African Jews remained
largely unknown and considered 'exotic' by American Jews. But the Holocaust
and World War II changed the face of world Jewry and the perceptions of
American Jews regarding world Jewry, including, for the first time, face to
face contacts with North African Jews.

Sincerely,

[ha-Safran] online MLIS programs

2018-05-04 Thread Amanda Seigel

Dear Safranim,

I received an inquiry about online MLIS programs from a potential student
who happens to have a strong background in Jewish Studies.

Is there someone among you that has experience with an online MLIS program
and is willing to answer a few questions? Or perhaps you have a colleague
that could?

It could be someone with a background in Jewish Studies, Humanities or
Social Sciences, and/or Archives.

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Sincerely,

Amanda

[ha-Safran] reminder - Gil Ribak lecture: Attitudes of Eastern European Jewish Immigrants toward African Americans, Thursday, May 3, 2018, NYC

2018-04-28 Thread Amanda Seigel

Dear Safranim,

You are cordially invited to a free public lecture sponsored by the
Fordham-NYPL Lecture Series in Jewish Studies:

Thursday, May 3, 2018, 6 p.m.

PROGRAM LOCATION:

Fordham Law School, 150 West 62nd Street, New York, Bateman 2-01B

Fordham-NYPL Lecture Series in Jewish Studies
presents:

" 'A Feeling of Self-Disgust Attacks Me': The Attitudes of Eastern
European Jewish Immigrants toward African Americans"

Gil Ribak, University of Arizona

With the mass migration of Jews from eastern Europe that began in
1881, European Jewish immigrants encountered Black Americans, their
clientele and neighbors, as these east European Jews served as
storeowners, tavern keepers, peddlers, pawnbrokers, and landlords in
Black neighborhoods.

Gil Ribak will discuss the various ways in which Yiddish journalists
and writers, social workers, educators, intellectuals, communal
activist, poets, rabbis, and union organizers portrayed African
Americans in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, a period that
partially overlapped with the mass migration of Jews from Europe with
the Great Migration of African Americans from the South.

Gil Ribak teaches at the University of Arizona, and is a Fordham-NYPL
Fellow in Jewish Studies.

[ha-Safran] I.B. Singer lecture by David Stromberg - next Tuesday, Feb. 27, 2018 at Fordham Univ.

2018-02-22 Thread Amanda Seigel

 Dear Safranim,

You are cordially invited to a lecture by David Stromberg of the Hebrew
University in Jerusalem:

A Late Arrival:
Isaac Bashevis Singer in New York City, 1935

Tuesday, February 27, 2018
6 p.m.
Sponsored by the Fordham-NYPL Lecture Series in Jewish Studies

Lecture description:

Nobel laureate Isaac Bashevis Singer arrived penniless in New York in 1935,
having left his common-law wife and five-year-old son in Warsaw. He entered
the United States on a six-month visa, his older brother having arranged
illegal work for him to write for the Jewish daily, The Forward. His
fiction was largely unknown and his subject matter obscure—and yet his
mission was to find his way in literature, which meant taking the literary
lessons he had learned in Poland and making them relevant in America.

Program Location:

Fordham University at Lincoln Center,
155 West 60th Street, Room 109 McMahon Hall,
New York, New York 10023

RSVP: http://www.alumni.fordham.edu/calendar/detail.aspx?ID=5277

[ha-Safran] Ancestry.com in the library

2018-01-20 Thread Amanda Seigel

Hi, Clare,

We have Ancestry (Library Edition) at NYPL. It's one of our most frequently
used sites for genealogy research and can also be useful for general
research.

The version we have is for use onsite (there is no remote login option).

>From what I understand, researchers must register and pay for some of the
features on the regular Ancestry website,  which may be different than the
library version.

Here is a link describing the difference:
https://support.ancestry.com/s/article/Ancestry-vs-Ancestry-Library-Edition

And this link describes the features for Jewish genealogy specifically
(they have partnered with JewishGen):
https://www.ancestry.com/cs/jewishgen-all

In my experience, JewishGen has much more extensive global data for Jewish
genealogy. Mainly, we use Ancestry for vital records in the U.S.

I would recommend Ancestry as a resource, but I would also consider whether
it's already available at your local public library, how much it costs for
your library to subscribe, and what relationship it has to your library
collection and services.

Best wishes,

Amanda

Does anyone have access to Ancestry.com in their library? We have three
public computers and it occurred to me that it might be a way to get people
into the library.

Thanks,
