I remember that one and enjoyed it too! re : AJL promotion of interfaith books I must admit that I, like Eli, am generally uncomfortable having these books in my Judaica library. IMHO, this question is not merely one of inclusion / exclusion of the books from the bookshelves in our libraries. The larger question of how to treat converts to Judaism and their children is not new. If we exclude converts and intermarried families from our libraries, we close ourselves off to a segment of the community that could benefit from what Jewish libraries have to offer. I should also point out that it's not just by giving them awards that such books are recognized. I first became aware of a particular inter-faith book when it was displayed at the Denver AJL convention (I can't recall the title, though). B'shalom, Steven M.
