    Hebrew Names and Name Authority in Library Catalogs by Daniel D. Stuhlman BHL, BA, MS LS, MHL In support of the Doctor of Hebrew Literature degree Jewish University of America Skokie, IL 2004 Page 1 Abstract Hebrew Names and Name Authority in Library Catalogs By Daniel D. Stuhlman, BA, BHL, MS LS, MHL Because of the differences in alphabets, entering Hebrew names and words in English works has always been a challenge. The Hebrew Bible (Tanakh) is the source for many names both in American, Jewish and European society. This work examines given names, starting with theophoric names in the Bible, then continues with other names from the Bible and contemporary sources. The list of theophoric names is comprehensive. The other names are chosen from library catalogs and the personal records of the author. Hebrew names present challenges because of the variety of pronunciations. The same name is transliterated differently for a writer in Yiddish and Hebrew, but Yiddish names are not covered in this document. Family names are included only as they relate to the study of given names. One chapter deals with why Jacob and Joseph start with “J.” Transliteration tables from many sources are included for comparison purposes. Because parents may give any name they desire, there can be no absolute rules for using Hebrew names in English (or Latin character) library catalogs. When the cataloger can not find the Latin letter version of a name that the author prefers, the cataloger uses the rules for systematic Romanization. Through the use of rules and the understanding of the history of orthography, a library research can find the materials needed.

I. Introduction For some time, environmental managers have attempted to address the practical implications of the truism that water does not recognize political borders. It is estimated that the world contains 260 transboundary river basins. (Gleick, 2004) Since 1814, some 600 bi-and multi-lateral international agreements deal with non-navigational aspects of water management (Kiss, 2000). The complex, historic religious and territorial rivalries and tensions of the Middle East are exacerbated by the scarcity of water and the large number of surface and groundwater borders that traverse geopolitical boundaries. (Shuval & Dweik, 2007) Moreover, the contrast between the Israels post-industrial economy and the developing dynamics that characterize its Arab neighbors makes implementation of a common restoration strategy even more difficult. This article considers the major findings to emerge from a three year study of environmental conditions in two transboundary watersheds that cross the Palestinian Authority (PA) into Israel: the Hebron / Besor and the Zomar / Alexander.

Up to a point. One of the most sobering passages in the Torah is the one right after the Song of the Sea that tells us what happened a mere three days after having witnessed the spectacular events at the Sea. We complained and we yelled. What happened to VAYAAMINU? Okay, thirst can do things to a person, but • as people say: BEH•EMET! Really... WOW miracles are... WOW • but we aren't supposed to live by them. It's the NOW miracles by which we live. It's the NOW miracles that we must believe in, appreciate, and thank G•d for. We don't wake in the morning with MN scattered all over, there for the collecting. We plant and cultivate, tend and reap and we perceive G•d's hand in every stalk of wheat, every grape, every blade of grass. We don't get the sun and the moon to stand still • a magnificent one•time event. We get a sunrise every morning and a sunset every evening • and we appreciate them and try to teach our children how to appreciate the miracles of nature. He created the world once • but He continually renews the work of creation day after day. It takes a more sophisticated level of belief, but it's the NOW miracles that mean so much to us.
