Thank you all for the responses to a book on Parashot ha Shavua written by

Re: [ha-Safran] Looking for a book with different authors for each Parashat Hashavua

[Marjorie Gann via Hasafran]

The book doesn't ring a bell, but the term "architect" made me think of
Rabbi Michael Hattin, who is an architect-turned-rabbi.  He has written his
own commentary, and the anthology you remember might have taken one of his
chapters. When he talks about the mishkan and other biblical construction
projects, his architectural knowledge is prominent. You might google under
his name.

[ha-Safran] Looking for a book with different authors for each Parashat Hashavua

[Dina Tanners via Hasafran]

Hello,

A friend is looking for a book about the Torah portions of the week that is
unique.

Each portion is written by a different Jewish person to his/her knowledge.
She remembers one commentary was written by an architect..  She bought it
about ten years ago and used it as a gift and would like to get another
copy.

Does that ring a bell to anyone?

Thanks in advance,

Happy new year loazi!

Re: [ha-Safran] Looking for a book of ethical questions for high school students

[Sherry Wasserman via Hasafran]

Linda, Have you looked at: 

Jewish Choices, Jewish Voices (6-Volume Set) Rabbis Elliot N. Dorff, Danya 
Ruttenberg, Louis E. Newman, eds. Includes titles

Jewish Choices, Jewish Voices: Body 

Jewish Choices, Jewish Voices: Money

Jewish Choices, Jewish Voices: Power

Jewish Choices, Jewish Voices: Sex and Intimacy

Jewish Choices, Jewish Voices: War and National Security 

Jewish Choices, Jewish Voices: Social Justice. 

This JPS ethics series deals with some of the most critical moral issues of our 
time. Each volume presents hypothetical cases on specific topics, followed by 
traditional and contemporary sources. Supplementing these are brief essays, 
written by contributors of various ages, backgrounds, and viewpoints to provoke 
lively thought and discussion. These voices from Jewish tradition and today’s 
Jewish community present us with new questions and perspectives, encouraging us 
to consider our own moral choices in a new light.

 

The Jewish family ethics textbook ;Scheindlin, Neal S.   
2021

"The Jewish Family Ethics Textbook guides teachers and students of all ages and 
backgrounds in mining classical and modern Jewish texts to inform decision 
making on hard choices"- Judaism offers us unique—and often divergent—insights 
into contemporary moral quandaries. How can we use social media without hurting 
others? Should people become parents through cloning? Should doctors help us 
die?

The first ethics book to address social media and technology ethics through a 
Jewish lens, along with teaching the additional skills of analyzing classical 
Jewish texts, The Jewish Family Ethics Textbook guides teachers and students of 
all ages in mining classical and modern Jewish texts to inform ethical 
decision-making. Both sophisticated and accessible, the book tackles challenges 
in parent-child relationships, personal and academic integrity, social media, 
sexual intimacy, conception, abortion, and end of life. Case studies, largely 
drawn from real life, concretize the dilemmas. Multifaceted texts from 
tradition (translated from Hebrew and Aramaic) to modernity build on one 
another to shed light on the deliberations. Questions for inquiry, commentary, 
and a summation of the texts’ implications for the case studies deepen and open 
up the dialogue.

This groundbreaking spiritual resource is truly transdenominational―including 
the insights of over 100 Jews who identify as Reform, Conservative, Orthodox, 
Reconstructionist, Renewal, post-denominational and “just Jewish.” They are 
rabbis, cantors, educators, authors and community leaders.  Addressing the 
concerns of young adults, it shows how the Torah can help teens deal with 
issues including:

*   Interpersonal relationships; Social justice; Sexuality and gender 
issues; Personal ethics; Responsibility to family; Community and the Jewish 
people; Body image; Tattoos; Community service; The meaning of faith; Authority 
and rebellion; The role of ritual; Personal theology; Prayer; Civility’ Living 
safely; Dealing with disabilities; Challenges of eating morally

 

If you are looking for a book of fiction to read and discuss, try The 
Assignment by Liza Wiemer.  

Hope this helps.

  KI is a Reform synagogue in the Philadelphia suburbs.  We have a 
supplemental Hebrew High School.  The principal and teachers are looking for a 
book (or books) on Ethics and of ethical questions and issues for the High 
School students to discuss.  I do, of course, know of Pirkei Avot.  But I am

 Linda,

There's a series- not new but still relevant, I think, called You be the Judge. 
It has some ethical questions in it. Although I've used it with younger kids, 
like upper elementary, I think it could be used with highschoolers. Torah Aura 
is the publisher.
There are at least 3 in the series and are available on Amazon and maybe at a 
Jewish seller.

Re: [ha-Safran] looking for a book title

[Robbin Katzin via Hasafran]

 I believe it is Confessions of a Closet Catholic by Sarah Littman.
Justine Silver, a teenaged middle child, questions her faith when her best 
friend, Mary Catherine McAllister gives up chocolate for Lent, but when her 
grandmother suffers a stroke, Jussy has to face her relationship with religion.

[ha-Safran] Looking for a book title

[Stephanie Krasner]

Does anyone know of a book soon to be released (April 18) about a Jewish
immigrant child's experiences in America?  I had the title in my "wishlist"
but it seems to have disappeared and I can't remember the exact title or
author.  I believe it might have been a middle grade children's novel.

Re: [ha-Safran] Looking for a book/story-Middle East

[Andrea Rapp]

Linda Silver reviewed the book A Little Piece of Ground in the Sep/Oct, 2003 
AJL Newsletter.  You should read her review; she calls this novel "a powerful 
propaganda piece" that presents Israelis as monsters, while Palestinian Arabs 
evoke sympathy and empathy.   So I have to question why children are assigned 
to read it in the first place.  They shouldn't be.       The closest I can 
think of in answer to your search is Bottle in the Gaza Sea, by Valerie 
Zenatti, but it is for slightly older readers and dates to the time when Israel 
was still in Gaza.   I don't think you'll find a true counter-novel to A Little 
Piece of Ground.    Years ago, I wrote to a favorite Sydney Talyor 
Award-winning author and asked her to write a novel for middle grade students, 
that "doesn't paint Israelis as aggressors and Arabs as their helpless 
victims...a novel where the hero or heroine is a young Israeli, struggling to 
live a normal life amid terrorism...that would counter the image of Israel that 
is found in much of children's literature..." I'm afraid she declined, as she 
had moved on to other writing.  Finally, there are some non-fiction books about 
the conflict (for kids) that are fair and accurate, and I would be glad to 
provide titles if you wish.   Andrea Rapp     From: Stacy Brown

[ha-Safran] Looking for a book/story (Aviva Rosenberg)

[Karen Hering]

Hi Aviva,
Filling Your Bucket books tells how filling other people's buckets fill
your own and may suit your purposes:

Have you filled a bucket today? – A Guide to Daily Happiness for Kids.  –
Carol McCloud. Nelson Pub. 2006. Ages 6-9.

this heartwarming book encourages positive behavior as children see how
rewarding it is to express daily kindness, appreciation, and love. Bucket
filling and dipping are effective metaphors for understanding the effects
of our actions and words on the well being of others and ourselves.

How Full is Your Bucket for Kids? - Tom Rath.Gallup Press. 2009. ISBN-13:
9781595620279 Ages 3-8.  Through the story of a little boy named Felix,
this charming book explains to children how being kind not only helps
others, it helps them, too. As he goes about his day, Felix interacts with
different people — his sister Anna, his grandfather, other family and
friends. Some people are happy, but others are grumpy or sad. Using the
metaphor of a bucket and dipper, Felix’ grandfather explains why the happy
people make Felix feel good, while the others leave him feeling bad — and
how Felix himself is affecting others, whether he means to or not.

There is another one I just came across called True Bucketfilling Stories:
Legacies of Love by Stacy Lundgren. but I am not familiar with it.
recommended ages 8-12.

Another to consider –

Because  Amelia Smiled by David Ezra Stein

With just a smile from the little girl Amelia as she skips down the street, 
Mrs. Higgins smiles too, and bakes cookies to send to her grandson Lionel, in 
Mexico. From there the happy feelings spread across the world in chain 
reactions from person to person.

[ha-Safran] Looking for a book/story

[Aviva Rosenberg]

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for a book or story that has a theme along the lines of "true
happiness comes from making other people happy."  It's for a Rosh Chodesh
Adar program so it would be nice if it was Jewish, but doesn't have to be.
It can be a book, a folktale, a chapter from a larger work, but suitable
for elementary school as a read-aloud.

Any and all suggestions are welcome. Thank you!

We are looking to purchase a used copy of *The Kosher Palette:  Easy and
Elegant Modern Kosher Cooking*, published in 2000 by the Joseph Kushner
Hebrew Academy (I realize there is a newer edition, but we are looking for
the first one).  All the used copies are quite expensive.  If anyone knows
of an available copy that is more reasonably priced, we would appreciate
hearing about it!

Dear Safranim,

 

Thank you to all who responded. I just wanted to let you know that I
confused the author with his father or son.  The author of the book I
need is Abram Leon Sachar not Howard M. Sachar.  Once this confusion was
cleared up the problem resolved itself.

Dear Safranim,

 

We are looking for a book "A History of the Jews" by Howard M.  Sachar.
The copy we have is in bad condition and we would like to replace it.
Does anyone know if this book reissued after 1951 (which is the pub date
of the book we own)?  Does anyone know where I can find it?  I have
looked in all the usual places and have only been able to find his other
books but not his one.

 

Thank you in advance for your help.
