About the Feinstein Lecture
The Association of Jewish Libraries received a grant from the Foundation for
Jewish Culture (FJC) given by the Myer and Rosalind Feinstein family to fund an
annual lecture. Lectures on Judaic bibliography and librarianship were
delivered at the annual conferences from 1996 to 2010. The FJC is no longer
active, but it left AJL with monies to continue these lectures. The Feinstein
Lecture resumed at the 2019 AJL conference and will continue to encourage and
inspire Judaica librarians at future conferences
