[ha-Safran] Sydney Taylor Book Award Committee Openings

[Rebecca Levitan via Hasafran]

Dear Colleagues,



There are multiple positions available on the Sydney Taylor Book Award 
Committee for the upcoming year.



Applicants should be members of AJL, familiar with the scope of Judaic 
children's literature, experienced in writing critical reviews, willing and 
able to read and review over 100 books during the course of a year, and able to 
meet deadlines.



Committee members are expected to attend the annual conference and committee 
meetings, and to participate in committee-sponsored events, including speaking 
at the Committee's annual presentation.  The term of membership on the 
Committee is two years.



Membership on the Sydney Taylor Book Award Committee is both fun and 
intellectually challenging. It also requires a substantial commitment in terms 
of time and energy.



Members must be able to submit reviews electronically and correspond with the 
committee members through regular e-mail.  Familiarity with Google Docs is 
helpful but not required.



To apply, send a letter indicating the reasons for your interest, a resume, and 
several examples of your recent reviews of Jewish children's books to Rebecca 
Levitan, Committee Chair, at ralevi...@gmail.com



Applications will be accepted through October 18th, 2019.



Rebecca Levitan, Chair

[Daniel Stuhlman via Hasafran]

I came across an article from July 1940 concerning an arrest of two men for 
wearing short shorts.  I searched online newspaper files and had to visit two 
libraries in another city in quest for the reason.  This blog article, Who Wore 
Short Shorts? is the story of the search.

Enjoy and feel free to share.

Shabbat shalom
