April, 2021 -- The Association of Jewish Libraries encourages the publication 
of outstanding works of Judaica reference and bibliography through its annual 
awards.

We are pleased to announce the following awards:

  *   Bibliography award: Stone, Gerald K. Catalog of the Gerald K. Stone 
Collection of Judaica: A Bibliographical Resource for Canadian Jewish Studies. 
Boston: Academic Studies Press, 2020.
  *   Reference award: Udel, Miriam. Honey on the Page: A Treasury of Yiddish 
Children’s Literature. Forward by Jack Zipes. New York: NYU Press, 2020.
  *   Honorary mention (Reference): Barsky, Zvi. Ḥanut ṿe-taṿit: mokhre sefarim 
be-Erets Yiśraʼel, 1870-1948 (English title: Making a Mark: Booksellers in 
Palestine, 1870-1948). Jerusalem: Mi-neged hotsaʼah la-or, 2019.

This year’s awardees exemplify AJL’s mission to foster and promote access to 
information, learning, teaching and research.

AJL’s Reference and Bibliography Committee agree that Catalog of The Gerald K. 
Stone Collection of Judaica will serve as a valuable and fascinating resource 
for scholars of Canadian Jewry. In this monumental work, Gerald Stone has 
organized, indexed, and annotated his collection of nearly 6,000 printed items 
relating to myriad aspects of Jewish life in Canada. Honey on the Page (title 
and charming cover illustration notwithstanding) is a scholarly work that will 
serve as an important reference for researchers in numerous fields, not least 
of which is the burgeoning study of children's literature. The notes on 
translation will be of great interest to scholars of Yiddish. And of course, 
children, both at home and in religious schools, will also enjoy the stories! 
Ḥanut ṿe-taṿit (Making a Mark) is a powerful reference tool not just for 
librarians, but also for researchers as well as for booksellers themselves. At 
the same time, it reads as a narrative of the adventures and misadventures of 
book traders in Palestine (Yehezkel Steimatzky among them) before the 
establishment of the State of Israel. This beautiful work will entertain 
experts and amateurs alike.

For their commitment and continuing support of these awards, AJL would like to 
recognize and thank Dr. Greta Silver of New York (Reference Award) and Mr. Eric 
Kline of Santa Monica (Bibliography Award).
