BAJS is pleased to announce that the 2021 BAJS Book Prize competition will open shortly. The book prize initiative was launched by BAJS in 2018 to recognise and promote outstanding scholarship in the field of Jewish Studies. We will be inviting submissions focused on topics relating to the early modern or modern period. Volumes with a copyright date of 2019 or after will be eligible. Details of the competition will be announced later in 2020.The current topic range is not of interest to PaleoJudaica, but I include it for information.
You have to read pretty far into the announcement to get to the 2020 winners:
Congratulations to both winners!
