Elliot:
So good to hear from you. Your award is well deserved. Your leadership as RAS
president was excellent, but your liaison work with ALA was outstanding!

circuitous path to Judaica librarianship and to a career as a librarian in
general. And thank you, Amalia, for adding a note about my longtime activity
and positions in AJL, dating back some 32 years.
I was also delighted to read the interview with fellow AJL veteran, Peggy
Pearlstein, in the same issue of AJL News and Reviews, July | August 2022 (p.
5), "Who Knows Four? Peggy Pearlstein!" What an honor to share space in the
digital pages of the bulletin with Peggy. She was a great guide in her
position as R&S (now RAS) president during my time as vice-president of R&S
(2004-2006) when we served on the Judaica Reference and Bibliography Awards
Committee and then when I was RAS president (2006-2008). I could not have
asked for a better mentor and role model. Peggy is an exemplary professional
and one of AJL's great human treasures!

יוסי,
אנא ראה למטה את המסר שלי ל-הספרן מיום שלישי שעבר.
בכלל, מספר ההודעות ב-הספרן נמוכות מהרגיל.
אני תוהה אם חלק מהן לא מגיע ליעדן.

Subject: The reason for warding the Fanny Goldstein Merit Award to Elliot
Gertel
I read with interest Emily Bergman’s article about Elliot Gertel in the last
issue of AJL News & Reviews (pages 2-3). Since I assume that it was a delayed
info to offer the reasons to award Elliot the Fanny Goldstein Merit Award
(2019), Allow me to add that the Fanny Goldstein Award, is a combination of two
previous awards to AJL members: one for contributions to Judaic librarianship,
which is listed in Emily’s article, and one to AJL.
I wish to list Elliot’s positions on the AJL Board and Council:
1. Secretary of the Board and Council from 2002-2004
2. RAS vice-president 2004-2006. In this position he chaired the Judaica
Bibliography and Reference Awards Committee.
3. RAS president from 2006-2008. Presidents take an active role in planning a
conference. It is never an easy task.
All this in addition to more years than I can recall of acting as AJL liaison
to ALA. In this position, with compassion and diligence, he represented AJL
through many events and was fighting passionately to defeat the repeated
anti-Israel resolutions.
Thank you, Emily, for highlighting Elliot’s many journeys. How little most
members knew!
Amalia Warshenbrot, AJL past president
