Thirty-eight Jewish authors were honored today at a reception marking the inauguration of Jewish Book Month, which this year is being observed from November 19 through December 18. The reception was held at Temple Emanu-El, here, in observance of the American Jewish Tercentenary.
The month is coordinated by the Jewish Book Council of America, which in turn is sponsored by the National Jewish Welfare Board. The authors were given citations for works which have made important contributions to American Jewish history.
