  • Association of Jewish Libraries Reviews, Volume 4, No.1, February
    Association of Jewish Libraries REVIEWS February/March 2014 Volume IV, No. 1 In The Spotlight Gelfand, Shoshana Boyd. The Barefoot Book of Jewish Tales. Illus. by Amanda Hall. Cambridge, MA: Barefoot Books, 2013. 80 pp. $19.99. (9781846868849). Gr. 2–5. Angels in disguise, a riddle-solving queen, a generous lamed-vavnik, and a fowl-minded prince are just a few of the characters found in this delightful collection of Jewish folktales. While far less grim than many offerings in the folklore canon, the eight classic stories presented here, from “Challah in the Ark” to the oft-spun “The Prince Who Thought He Was a Rooster”, are filled with plenty of twists to grab young readers and keep them guessing until all loose ends are stitched and the final kernel of wisdom is unveiled. Gelfand shows a deft touch at keeping the stories well paced, consistently entertaining, and moralistic without being heavy handed. It is a book filled with miracles: an illiterate boy sends cut Hebrew letters aloft to form the prayers in his heart; a girl gives a weekly gift to God and thus sustains her family for thirty years. But for anyone who has ever read well-crafted folktales aloud to young children, the real miracle will come in the form of rapt expressions and lessons learned. The book touches on a number of themes, including the joy of sharing, embracing the uniqueness of others, expressing one’s love for God in different ways, and the rewards of kindness. Hall’s bright, fanciful, folk-style illustrations—a combination of watercolor ink, chalk pastel, colored pencil, and digital layering— nicely complement each story.

  • Ruttm An, Larry. American Jews and America's Game
    R u t t m a n , L a r r y . American Jews and America's Game: Voices o f a Growing Legacy in Base­ ball. Foreward by B ud Selig. Lincoln: University o f Nebraska Press, 2013. Pp. xxxii+510. Illustrations, bibliography, and index. $34.95 cb. A large, ambitious, and deeply personal work, this book attempts to define the Jewish- American experience through the prism of baseball. With sections organized around de­ cades, American Jews and America's Game ranges from the 1930s to the present. Original face-to-face interviews, conducted in venues as disparate as Rancho Mirage, Phoenix, Manhattan, Cooperstown, Boston, Baltimore, Kissimmee, and Tel Aviv, provide the core content. Telling photographs, many taken by the author, burnish the commentary. Baseball’s attraction for Jews, the varieties of Jewish baseball experience, anti-Semitism, evolving Jewish identity, relations between the generations, and the future of American Jewry re­ ceive significant attention. Passionate and determined, Larry Ruttman, attorney, adult education teacher, regional writer, and baseball enthusiast, commenced the five-year mis­ sion that culminated in American Jews and America's Game after the age o f seventy. Ruttmans visceral connection to the subject matter colors the presentation. By con­ trast, in The Glory o f Their Times: The Story o f the Early Days o f Baseball Told by the Men Who Played I t (1966), the most acclaimed oral history of the game, editor Lawrence S. Ritter defers to the voices of his interviewees. Save for his preface, elimination of certain material, and some sequential rearrangement, Ritter, largely confining his role to that of catalyst and compiler, displays editorial restraint.
