Avrohom Tabatchnik, member of the Yiddish editorial staff of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency, has been awarded a $200 prize for his “Poets and Poetry,” a collection of literary essays on some of the major Yiddish poets in the United States.

The prize was sponsored by the Nathan Chanin Cultural Foundation of the Jewish Workmens’ Circle. Another winner was Kadia Molodowsky for a volume of Yiddish verse. The judges of the contest also voted a prize of $200 to The Jewish Mirror of Chicago, which is devoted solely to the publication of translations of Yiddish works.
