Rohr prize awarded

Two New York City police officers stood sentry outside the Museum of Jewish Heritage last night as the Sami Rohr Prize for Jewish Literature was being awarded. That’s how things may be for a while, untill communal nerves have soothed a bit.

Inside, Sana Krasikov accepted the prize for "One More Year," her debut collection of stories chronicling the life of mostly Russian immigrants to the United States. Iranian-born Dalia Sofer took home the Choice Award for "The Septembers of Shiraz."
