Kudos to Racheli and her editorial board for another jam packed edition of 
Judaica Librarianship. There are so many articles to read while curling up on 
these cold winter nights (it does get cold in LA at night). 

Kudos are also due to Zachary Baker, Pearl Berger and Dov Walfish for their 
contributions to librarianship, bibliographic work and Judaic scholarship.

  Dear colleagues, 



  Happy New Year! I am pleased to announce that volume 20 of Judaica 
Librarianship is out! The 2017 issue (published December 31) incudes research 
and essay articles, reviews, and two columns, one of them is our new JS/DH 
(Jewish Studies/ Digital Humanities) column by Michelle Chesner. For more 
information, please see the Table of Content below and my Editor’s Note 
(attached, also available on the journal’s site).



  The expanded editorial section is dedicated to three remarkable AJL members 
who have been involved in AJL’s scholarly journal for decades. Pearl Berger and 
Barry Walfish both retired from their day jobs and JL’s editorial board; their 
contributions to our profession and academic journal are celebrated in this 
section. Zachary Baker retired from Stanford University Libraries after decades 
of outstanding career, including heavy involvement in JL and, of course, 
editing the journal from 2005 to 2012. During his editorship, he changed the 
format of the journal and published five issues (Vols. 12–16/17), all available 
in digital format on the JL site. Arthur Kiron’s tribute to this “exemplary 
citizen of the profession of Judaica librarianship” is followed with Zachary’s 
published works, an enhanced version (so I hope, I did my best!) of his 
unpublished CV. 



  I would like to warmly welcome our two new editorial board members, Drs. 
Rebecca Jefferson, Head of Price Library of Judaica, Univer­sity of Florida 
Libraries and Rachel Heuberger, Judaica Division, University Library Frankfurt 
am Main (Germany). From the bottom of my heart I thank our excellent, 
thoughtful volunteer copyeditors Nancy Sack and Judy Woltfhal who helped me to 
bring this issue to fruition. A big thank-you to JL editorial board member 
Arthur Kiron, who helped me plotting the special editorial section, and to 
Heidi Lerner who was our accomplice. Lastly, I thank my family who both 
supported and missed me during the many, many hours I was “jl-ing,” 
particularly during the last few weeks. On behalf of JL’s editorial board, 
congratulations to all authors!



  Happy reading,

  Rachel
