Dan Friedus in today's "a2view" from the Ann Arbor Observer on NYPL cookbook collection
quoting now:
A2 collector donates rare cookbooks to New York Public Library collection: Daniel Freidus, a retired U-M academic adviser, has given Dorot Jewish Division more than 250 items that he acquired online, at book fairs around the country, and by browsing specialized bookstores, according to an NYPL blog post. Among the books he’s gifted are “Like Mama Used to Make: a Collection of Favorite and Traditional Jewish Dishes,” which was published by the Women of the Ann Arbor Chapter of Hadassah in 1952. From NYPL: Daniel’s incredible dedication, commitment, energy, and enthusiasm are well captured by the Yiddish word zamler, meaning a voluntary collector—one of those great lovers of libraries who played a crucial role in building Jewish collections in Europe in the first half of the 20th century and brought this tradition with them to America. And there is yet another deep connection that makes Daniel’s contribution even more meaningful. Daniel Freidus comes from a family with roots in Riga, Latvia, directly related to Abraham Freidus, the first Head of the Jewish Division of The New York Public Library (1897–1923). One can tell that passion for books and libraries really runs in the family, whose spiritual connection to NYPL seems to pass through generations. -- Edward Vielmetti +1 734 330 2465 edward.vielmetti@... |
