AJL Classroom: Evaluating YA Literature
Monday & Tuesday, May 9–10, 2022
7:00–9:00 pm EDT
Instructor: Rebecca Levitan
AJL members $75.00
Nonmembers $150.00
What makes a book a young adult book? How can you provide appropriate
advisories for teen readers while standing on one foot? Participants will
discuss appropriateness in terms of both content and readability and focus on
making matches between books and readers.
Rebecca Levitan holds a BA in history and Judaic studies from Binghamton
University and an MLIS from the University of Pittsburgh. She is a full-time
generalist librarian and the children’s coordinator at the Pikesville Branch of
the Baltimore County Public Library in Baltimore, Maryland. She is the
immediate past chair of the Sydney Taylor Book Award Committee, vice president
of AJL’s Schools, Synagogues, Centers and Public Libraries Division, coeditor
of children’s and teen books for AJL News and Reviews, and president of the AJL
Capital Area Chapter. As a mom of three young children, she is passionate about
quality Jewish literature. Rebecca is also an avid knitter and can often be
found working on a shawl that she will likely not wear because it is too warm
in Baltimore most of the year.
AJL Canada Roundtable: Finding and Reading the Personal Narratives of
Yiddish-speaking Migrants to Canada, 1900-1930
Wednesday, May 18, 2022
10:30 am PT/ 1:30 pm ET/ 8:30 pm Israel Time
In this presentation, doctoral candidate Vardit Lightstone will address the
creative ways that migrants to Canada from 1900 to 1930 forged a new hybrid
culture and identity, and how they express that in their life stories.
When Eastern European Jews migrated to Canada, they created a Canadian Eastern
European Jewish culture and identity; by doing so, they expanded the
international Yiddish map and Yiddish culture. Vardit has uncovered previously
unknown memoirs and personal narratives by these migrants and will discuss how
they tell the stories of their own lives, connecting their early lives and
experiences in Eastern Europe to their lives and experiences in Canada.
Vardit Lightstone is a doctoral candidate in a Joint Education Placement
Program between the University of Toronto and the Hebrew University of
Jerusalem. Her research focuses on the life stories of Yiddish-speaking
immigrants to Canada from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. In
her research she interrogates both the folk literary genre of life stories and
the ways migrants use folklore as they adapt to their new situations.
