The Louis La Med Literary Foundation, which annually awards four prizes for the best literary works in Hebrew and Yiddish, today announced that the prizes for this year will be increased. The first two prizes will be $300, each, instead of the $200 given previously, while the other two prizes will be raised from $150 each to $200.
The literary jury which will choose the prize winners was also announced today. It includes Harry Sackler, H. Leivick, Harry Rogoff, Dr. A. Menes and Aaron Zeitlin. Samuel Niger, noted Jewish literary critic, is the chairman of the Foundation.
The Archive of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency includes articles published from 1923 to 2008. Archive stories reflect the journalistic standards and practices of the time they were published.
