It may feel like we do a lot of celebrating on the blog, but life is short, and it is important to celebrate when you can. The Jewish Book Council announced its winners recently, and on the list are names the Museum knows well. Today we congratulate some special National Jewish Book Award Honorees.
The iconic Ruth Gruber earns the 2009 Jewish Book Council Lifetime Achievement Award for her amazing body of work. We love Ruth, and adore the fact that as she continues to receive accolades, she shows no signs of slowing down.
Hasia R. Diner, who joined us last June, received the American Jewish Studies Celebrate 350 Award for We Remember with Reverence and Love: American Jews and the Myth of Silence
after the Holocaust, 1945‐1962.
Sarah Houghteling, who was here last February, was a finalist for the JJ Greenberg Memorial Award for Fiction for Pictures at an Exhibition.
Already gracing the shelves of the Pickman Museum Shop is the grand prize winner: Melvin I. Urofsky, winner of the Everett Family Foundation Jewish Book of the Year for his biography, Louis D. Brandeis: A Life.
Mazel Tov to all.
