Learn about the book that has won this year’s prestigious Sami Rohr Prize for Jewish Literature in an exclusive conversation with two remarkable authors.
2026 Sami Rohr Prize winner Amir Tibon, author of "The Gates of Gaza," and Sarah Hurwitz, author of "As a Jew," join us for a timely and fascinating discussion about the Israeli election, the U.S. midterm elections, and what the results of both mean for Israelis, Jewish Americans and the future of the U.S.-Israel relationship.
As the premier award in the world of Jewish publishing, the Sami Rohr Prize for Jewish Literature recognizes the unique role of contemporary writers in the examination and transmission of the Jewish experience. The $100,000 prize is presented annually to an emerging writer who demonstrates literary excellence and the potential for future contribution to the world of Jewish literature.
