Dear all, March is here and AJL has put together a series of great events (check your emails for your AJL Invite!).
Among others, I'd like to point you to two exciting events organized by the RAS Division: *Thursday, March 3, 2022, 4:00 pm PT/7:00 pm EST: AJL Presents: Celebrating Women’s History Month, A Conversation on Jewish Cookbooks* *Join Tracey Felder, librarian at the Leo Baeck Institute, and Melanie Meyers, Director of Collections at the American Jewish Historical Society, for a discussion about the cookbooks in their collections. They will then invite participation by asking attendees some questions about cookbooks at their own institutions (or in their personal collections).* *This session is sponsored by AJL’s RAS Division and is open to all members and the general public.* *Thursday, March 24, 2022, 9:30 PT/12:30 pm EST/7:30 pm Israel Time: AJL Roundtable: A Time to Gather: Archives and the Control of Jewish Culture* *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 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. 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. Registered participants to the event will receive the introduction of the book prior to the program, and discussion is encouraged. This session is sponsored by AJL's RAS Division. All AJL members are welcome; members only event.* *To register for the events, visit: * https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://jewishlibraries.org/events-calendar/__;!!KGKeukY!ghw5Hn58aCqqhXwTw_T5OTBBBfpBiOesDSjkWcNiG87uk3jR40HnWxlmVrmohAFSRnY$ . As always, please do not hesitate to contact me with any question you might have, and we welcome suggestions for events or workshops you would like to see. *Regards,* *Amalia S. Levi* *RAS Division President*
