Let’s try this again!: Congratulations to Jordan Schnitzer Book Award Winners

Last week, we congratulated Jordan Schnitzer Book Award winners Rebecca Kobrin and James Loeffler. They richly deserve our mazel tovs but we were a year late: Oops! They were last year’s winners.

This year’s winners of the annual prizes awarded by Association for Jewish Studies every December to honor outstanding scholarship in Jewish Studies also include three scholars who have participated in YIVO events and programs this past year, and we’d like to congratulate them now:
