Simon Bronner Wins the National Jewish Book Award

Simon Bronner has been awarded the National Jewish Book Award for Education and Jewish Identity for his new book Jewish Cultural Studies.

According to the publisher, Wayne State University Press, Jewish Cultural Studies charts the contours and boundaries of Jewish cultural studies and the issues of Jewish culture that make it so intriguing—and necessary—not only for Jews but also for students of identity, ethnicity, and diversity generally.
