The Photo that Saved Us (Hatsilum she histil otanu) by Maya C. Klinger won the Book Prize for an Outstanding Holocaust-related Book for Children and Youth from Yad Vashem. Now translated into English, The Photographer’s Son tells the true story of the Mandil family, who lived in Yugoslavia before World War II. The book details the family’s escape from the Nazis and their rescue by an Albanian Muslim family, the Vesilis. In 2004, the Vesilis were recognized by Yad Vashem as Righteous Among the Nations for saving the Mandils and other Jewish refugees during the Holocaust. Klinger-Cohen’s book “conveys educational values and brings children and youth closer to the topic of the Holocaust.” The author will discuss her works as well as the role of Albanian Muslims in rescuing Jews during the Holocaust.

Peninnah Schram, acclaimed Jewish storyteller, will lead a workshop on storytelling through names.
According to Jewish tradition, we each have three names and they carry many meanings and blessings. Names reflect our essence and also shape our lives and our personalities. In this participatory presentation, we will explore sources, meanings, and connections to our names—and how they have influenced us through life. People—students, new and old friends, members of organizations, etc.—get to know their teachers, colleagues, and others in an interesting way through narratives. Peninnah will also introduce the Jewish tradition of a “name pasuk.” Participants will examine and share interpretations of their names. Peninnah Schram will also tell her own name stories.
Caren Schnur Neile, author of Peninnah’s World: A Jewish Life in Stories, will join us to interview Peninnah and lead a Q&A.
From Charlottesville to Colleyville, antisemitism is at an all-time high, making the need to help Jewish children find their voices to speak up against hatred and build Jewish pride a priority. This workshop will highlight outstanding Jewish-themed books for children of all ages, to be utilized as bridges, not only within our Jewish community, but with the community at large. We’ll share books that avoid stereotypes, include accurate material, and present diverse and intersectional Jewish voices that act as windows, mirrors, and sliding glass doors. As Jewish kidlit authors, our goal is to highlight books that provide positive role models and incorporate Jewish values, building a foundation for our children to be upstanders and allies.

When the Jews of Spain, the Sephardim, fled the 15th-century Inquisition and Expulsion, they took with them a rich culture and cuisine through Europe, the Middle East, and to the Americas. The music and food were very rarely committed to writing by the original Sephardim, though much has been passed down through oral tradition and later written.

In cataloging rare Hebraica, there are times when the cataloger will find evidence of previous ownership. This session, led by expert special collections cataloger Louis Meiselman of the University of Pennsylvania, will show participants where to find this information in the resource and how to record it in the bibliographic record.
“Roman Mafte’ach: Distant Reading in the Hebrew Novel” constitutes applied research in Hebrew literature and digital humanities, resulting in the creation of a comprehensive, up-to-date database of the Hebrew novel. The aim of the project is to collect data on every novel originally published in Hebrew spanning from Avraham Mapu’s ‘Ahavat Zion’ (1853) which is considered the first Hebrew novel, and including the latest Hebrew novels published today, in Israel and elsewhere.
Yael Dekel (PhD. New York University) is a research fellow in the literary lab at Ben Gurion University of the Negev, where she leads the Hebrew Novel project.
The rules of the sheva and kamats are not easy. Understanding when and how to pronounce them can be challenging.

Synagogue archives are rapidly up-and-coming community archive repositories. Often run by committed volunteers, librarians, or others, they tend to fall outside the bounds of “traditional” archives. In this roundtable, we will discuss the basics of archives and synagogue archives and highlight available resources, with the aim of creating a support network for those who have taken responsibility for a synagogue archive.
Home to a large, Yiddish-speaking Jewish population, interwar Paris was a hub of global Yiddish culture. Multiple leftist Yiddish libraries provided communal spaces and written materials for workers and immigrants to learn about Jewish and French radical politics. Nick Underwood, assistant professor of history and the Berger/Neilsen Chair of Judaic Studies at the College of Idaho, described the spectrum of leftist Yiddish-language libraries in Paris and explore the divisions and the collaborations among them.
A patron is looking for a specific book, for example, one written by a Hebrew language instructor and intended for students of the Hebrew language. To help with the search, the cataloger might include specific headings in the bibliographic record. These headings are the Library of Congress Demographic Group Terms (LCDGT)—a controlled vocabulary created by the Library of Congress to supplement the Library of Congress Subject Headings by bringing out the demographic group of the author and/or the intended audience. This forum will discuss the best practice use of the LCDGT headings, where in the bibliographic record and Name Authority Records these LCDGT headings are recorded, and the process of submitting proposals for new LCDGT headings.
Like most librarians, we at the Association of Jewish Libraries are concerned about the increase in book banning and the suppression of marginalized voices. At the same time, AJL members were disturbed to hear the defense of Holocaust denial books made at ALA’s 2022 annual conference during a session about the Unite Against Book Bans campaign. This panel will explore the tensions between defending the freedom to read and guarding against harmful disinformation.
Our guests are Deborah Caldwell-Stone, Director of ALA’s Office for Intellectual Freedom, and Michael Berenbaum, Professor at American Jewish University specializing in the study of the Holocaust.
This Cataloging Forum will focus on the methodological/bibliographical introduction to Hebrew paleography.

In this presentation, doctoral candidate Vardit Lightstone will address the creative ways that migrants to Canada from 1900 to 1930 forged a new hybrid culture and identity, and how they express that in their life stories.
When Eastern European Jews migrated to Canada, they created a Canadian Eastern European Jewish culture and identity; by doing so, they expanded the international Yiddish map and Yiddish culture. Vardit has uncovered previously unknown memoirs and personal narratives by these migrants and will discuss how they tell the stories of their own lives, connecting their early lives and experiences in Eastern Europe to their lives and experiences in Canada.
Vardit Lightstone is a doctoral candidate in a Joint Education Placement Program between the University of Toronto and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Her research focuses on the life stories of Yiddish-speaking immigrants to Canada from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. In her research she interrogates both the folk literary genre of life stories and the ways migrants use folklore as they adapt to their new situations.
In this presentation, Rory MacLellan (Historic Royal Palaces) will discuss his work on the Tower’s medieval Jewish history, which has resulted in a new catalogue of archival sources and a dataset of biographies of Jewish prisoners, workers, and refugees at the Tower. He will talk about the research process, his methodology, and the challenges of researching and presenting sensitive histories at a major tourist attraction.
Rory MacLellan is a postdoctoral research fellow at Historic Royal Palaces. He was awarded his PhD in medieval history by the University of St Andrews. He specialises in medieval religious history and has published on the crusades, Jewish conversion, and far-right appropriations of the Middle Ages.

Dr. Jason Lustig, Lecturer and Israel Institute Teaching Fellow at the University of Texas at Austin’s Schusterman Center for Jewish Studies, will discuss his recent book A Time to Gather: Archives and the Control of Jewish Culture, published by Oxford University Press in December 2021. A Time to Gather is a transnational history of twentieth-century Jewish archives with a focus on Germany, the United States, and the state of Israel, and it argues that archives have never been neutral. Instead, by looking at the struggles over who might “own” Jewish history, both before the Holocaust and especially in its aftermath given the context of Nazi looting and post-war restitution, the book showcases how archives have always been battlegrounds not just over the Jewish past but also the possibilities of the future. Dr. Lustig will also discuss ongoing efforts to create monumental archives of the Jewish past, and how digitization magnifies, rather than mitigates, concerns about “owning” the past.
Get a basic introduction to the graphic design platform Canva and learn some techniques for using it to create games, quizzes, and digital felt boards to jazz up virtual classes or storytimes.
Part of a continuing series of roundtable discussions for librarians who work with students.
Presented by Dr. Isaac Hershkowitz & Dr. Leore Sachs Shmueli, Jewish Philosophy Department, Bar Ilan University.
The presentation will explore new ways to address classical questions of Jewish studies. We wish to demonstrate how text mining tools can be useful for “distant” reading of large corpuses and shed light on pivotal, even centuries’ old, questions and challenges of Jewish scholarship.
Perplexity regarding authenticity and authorship, spatiotemporal and interschool transformations of texts and ideas, identification and analysis of major patterns, concepts, and social shifts reflecting cultural significance—these are some of the challenges that we attempt to outline and undertake.
Examining methodological challenges and initial findings of Big Data tools in Jewish studies in this presentation may pave important paths to the future of the field.
Gather with your AJL Pals for some socializing across the miles.
