This panel will focus on how PJ Library partnered with children’s author Chana Stiefel to create a series of support sessions to address the fear and concerns facing Jewish creators and curators since October 7. With support from the ADL, Heidi Rabinowitz, Susan Kusel, and the Jewish Kidlit Mavens Facebook group, these unique and well-attended sessions gave the 200+ participants space to address online antisemitism, anti-Jewish bias in the publishing industry, and tools to create an active voice at librarian and teacher conferences. In addition, the panel will discuss how PJ Library has been encouraging the development of Israel content and stories and ways in which we have supported our subscribers and readers worldwide since the war began.
