Here are some quotes from my Editor’s Note:
I would like to thank the following individuals who contributed their time and
talent to making this issue what it is.Nancy Sack, who retired from the
University of Hawaii at Manoa in mid-2024, provided critical copyediting
assistance for one of the articles and guidance regarding another.Paula Breger
(Temple Emanu-El in Haverhill, Massachusetts), Josh Shelly (Potsdam University
Library), andAmanda Widom (JDC Archives) have commendably assisted with
copyediting of the rest of the articles.Shoshana Traum and Anthony Catanese
helped with proofreading some of the articles. Special thanks are due toAaron
Taub and Zachary Baker for their good advice, and to Yossi Galron for his
practical help with the many Yiddish Romanization challenges and several
bibliographical conundrums. In addition to copyediting, Josh Shelly also
advised me regarding open access best practices, hence the addition of
copyright information on each of the articles. Thank you, all!
JL’s editorial board expresses its gratitude to Dr. Ariann Stern and Haim A.
Gottschalk who have generously established theManfred Gottschalk Judaica
