AJL podcast

At each year’s AJL convention, members of the Sydney Taylor Book Award Committee participate in a panel presentation to discuss the best and worst of recent Jewish literature for children and teens. In this podcast, you can hear members Susan Berson, Kathy Bloomfield, Rachel Kamin, Kathe Pinchuck, and Nancy Rivin (referred to as Nancy Austein in the recording) sharing their delight and dismay over juvenile Judaica published during 2007. Books are discussed in rounds:

• New Editions
• Unexplored Terrain
• But Is It Jewish Enough?
• Contemporary
• New Perspectives on the Holocaust
• Hot/Not
• Sneak Peaks
