Celebrating its tenth year, the Canadian Jewish Literary Awards recognizes the finest books with Jewish themes and subjects by Canadian authors in a variety of genres. It enriches and promotes Canadian Jewish writing and culture, enabling us to better understand our collective past, our shared present, and the world of the future. The Canadian Jewish Literary Awards does more than reward winning authors with a cash prize and a moment in the spotlight. It builds pride, not only in the individuals being honoured, but in the creative achievements that reflect Jewish themes and ideas. The Canadian Jewish Literary Awards, including the Irving Abella Award, are judged by an independent jury, who select winners in the categories of fiction, biography/memoir, poetry, history, Jewish Thought and Culture, Yiddish, scholarship, Holocaust, and books for children and youth, as well as two special awards.
