> AJL ANNOUNCES HOLIDAY HIGHLIGHTS TITLES FOR SPRING 2022
>
> For immediate release, February 27, 2022 ? The Association of Jewish
> Libraries is pleased to announce that five titles have been selected for
> its seasonal AJL Holiday Highlights list, celebrating Shabbat, Havdalah,
> and Passover. These titles are AJL?s picks for the best Jewish holiday
> children?s books of Spring 2022.
>
>
>
> Titles that are selected as Holiday Highlights exemplify the highest
> standards of authentic Jewish representation and holiday spirit in both
> writing and illustration. A committee of expert judges recommends these
> books for use by families, in schools, and in libraries. AJL hopes that the
> publishing world will look to the quality of these examples when creating
> new children?s books about Jewish holidays.
>
> Holiday Highlights titles are named twice a year, for the spring and fall
> publishing seasons. Submissions are being accepted now for the Fall 2022
> list. Please email [email protected] to send digital
> review copies or to request instructions for sending print review copies.
>
> The Spring 2022 AJL Holiday Highlights are:
>
> SHABBAT & HAVDALAH
>
> Shabbat Shalom & A New Week, both by Vicky Weber, illustrated by Shirly
> Ng-Benitez, Apples and Honey Press (6/1/22)
>
> This pair of board books introduces the weekend rituals associated with
> welcoming Shabbat on Friday night and saying goodbye to Shabbat on Saturday
> night. Spare yet charming illustrations feature toddlers of varying skin
> tones, complemented by rhyming couplets.
>
> PASSOVER
>
> A Persian Passover by Etan Basseri, illustrated by Rashin Kheiriyeh,
> Kalaniot (3/18/22)
>
> Sibling hijinks threaten Passover until a friendly neighbor comes to the
> rescue. Bright collage illustrations capture mid-century Iran and highlight
> the details of Sephardic Passover preparation unique to the setting.
>
> Alone Together on Dan Street by Erica Cohen Lyons, illustrated by Jen
> Jamieson, Apples & Honey Press (3/1/22)
>
> This lovely Passover tale captures the spirit of the holiday, and the
> concept of community, all couched in the isolation of Covid. As Mira?s
> family prepares for Passover in Jerusalem during the lock-down, she finds a
> safe way to bring the whole neighborhood together.
>
> Raquela?s Seder by Joel Edward Stein, illustrated by Sara Ugolotti, Kar-Ben
> Publishing (2/1/22)
>
> Set during the Spanish Inquisition, a young girl and her parents take to
> their fishing boat to celebrate a Passover seder in secret. Patterned
> textiles infuse the moonlit illustrations while the parallels between the
> Exodus and the Inquisition invoke resonances across Jewish history.

> AJL Roundtable: A Time to Gather: Archives and the Control of Jewish
> Culture
> Thursday, March 24, 2022
> 9:30AM PT / 12:30PM ET / 7:30PM Israel Time
>
> Dr. Jason Lustig, Lecturer and Israel Institute Teaching Fellow at the
> University of Texas at Austin?s Schusterman Center for Jewish Studies, will
> discuss his recent book A Time to Gather: Archives and the Control of
> Jewish Culture, published by Oxford University Press in December 2021. A
> Time to Gather is a transnational history of twentieth-century Jewish
> archives with a focus on Germany, the United States, and the state of
> Israel, and it argues that archives have never been neutral. Instead, by
> looking at the struggles over who might ?own? Jewish history, both before
> the Holocaust and especially in its aftermath given the context of Nazi
> looting and post-war restitution, the book showcases how archives have
> always been battlegrounds not just over the Jewish past but also the
> possibilities of the future. Dr. Lustig will also discuss ongoing efforts
> to create monumental archives of the Jewish past, and how digitization
> magnifies, rather than mitigates, concerns about ?owning
>  ? the past.
> Registered participants to the event will receive the introduction of the
> book prior to the program, and discussion is encouraged.
>
> This session is sponsored by AJL?s RAS Division. All members welcome;

> "Keeping Jewish Heritage in Public Hands through Cooperation"
> featuring?Dr.?Yoel Finkelman of the National Library of Israel and Mattan
> Segev-Frank
> Keeping Jewish?heritage?documents in public hands requires cooperation
> between private collectors, auction houses, sellers, law enforcement, and
> research libraries and archives. To Dr. Finkelman, an adversarial
> relationship, in which private holders must fear social pressure or
> legal?action, can have unexpected and unintended negative consequences. The
> recent purchase by the National?Library of?Israel?and?the?Hungarian Jewish
> Museum and Archive of pinkasim (community registers) serves as a case
> study.?Mr. Segev represents the point of view of private individuals -
> Genealogists, Historians and descendants of lost Austrian-Hungarian
> communities whose books keep popping up in auctions around the world. While
> advocating, as Dr. Finkelman does, for cooperation between institutions and
> sellers in order to peacefully get these items to public hands without
> "scaring away" the collectors selling them is important, Mattan advocates
> for laws or regulations to compel whoever holds such a
>  rtifacts to release them to the public domain, as it should not be the
> norm for institutions to rely on private individuals to donate our money
> for them to preserve these books.

> March is here and AJL has put together a series of great events (check your

>
> Among others, I'd like to point you to two exciting events organized by the
> RAS Division:
>
> *Thursday, March 3, 2022, 4:00 pm PT/7:00 pm EST:  AJL Presents:
> Celebrating Women?s History Month, A Conversation on Jewish Cookbooks*
>
> *Join Tracey Felder, librarian at the Leo Baeck Institute, and Melanie
> Meyers, Director of Collections at the American Jewish Historical Society,
> for a discussion about the cookbooks in their collections. They will then
> invite participation by asking attendees some questions about cookbooks at
> their own institutions (or in their personal collections).*
> *This session is sponsored by AJL?s RAS Division and is open to all members
> and the general public.*
>
> *Thursday, March 24, 2022, 9:30 PT/12:30 pm EST/7:30 pm Israel Time: AJL
> Roundtable: A Time to Gather: Archives and the Control of Jewish Culture*
>
> *Dr. Jason Lustig (Lecturer and Israel Institute Teaching Fellow at the
> University of Texas at Austin?s Schusterman Center for Jewish Studies) will
> discuss his recent book A Time to Gather: Archives and the Control of
> Jewish Culture, published in December 2021. A Time to Gather is a
> transnational history of twentieth-century Jewish archives with a focus on
> Germany, the United States, and the state of Israel. By looking at the
> struggles over who might ?own? Jewish history, both before the Holocaust
> and especially in its aftermath given the context of Nazi looting and
> post-war restitution, the book showcases how archives have always been
> battlegrounds not just over the Jewish past but also the possibilities of
> the future.  Registered participants to the event will receive the
> introduction of the book prior to the program, and discussion is
> encouraged. This session is sponsored by AJL's RAS Division. All AJL
> members are welcome; members only event.*
