Three authors will receive this year the Menahem Ussisnkin Award, granted by the Jewish National Fund for works on the history of Israel, Zionism and Hebrew literature. The award, named after the Zionist leader, will be given to Dr. Alex Bein, the biographer of Theodor Herzl and the author of several books on the history of settlement in Eretz Yisrael; to post Dalia Rabikowitz, for a recent book of poems; and to the late writer Shlomo Grodzanski for publications that appeared after his death. The awards will be given by JNF chairman Jacob Tzur in a ceremony to take place on Chanukah in Jerusalem.
