Made possible by funding from Jordan Schnitzer through the Harold & Arlene Schnitzer Family Fund of the Oregon Jewish Community Foundation, the Association for Jewish Studies is proud to award eight prizes this year (four winners and four finalists) for the annual Jordan Schnitzer Book Prize.
The categories in the 2024 competition were Biblical Studies, Rabbinics, and Ancient Jewish History and Culture; Jews and the Arts: Music, Performance, Visual; Modern Jewish History: Europe and Israel; and Social Sciences, Anthropology, and Folklore. Books published in 2022 and 2023 by AJS members were eligible for submission. Each category was judged by a committee of expert scholars in their field who chose this year’s winners and finalists. Winners receive a $10,000 prize and Finalists receive a $2,500 prize.
We wish a hearty congratulations to this year’s awardees.
