T
he Historical Society of Michigan
announced its 2020 state history
award winners Sept. 9, and among
the honorees is the Jewish Historical
Society of Michigan’
s annual scholarly
journal, Michigan Jewish History, which won
outstanding printed periodical. It will be
recognized, along with the other winners,
at a virtual awards ceremony at 7 p.m. on
Friday, Oct. 2, as part
of the HSM’
s annual
Michigan History
Conference.
Michigan Jewish
History (MJH) cel-
ebrates its 60th
anniversary this year.
In continuous publi-
cation since 1960, it
is among the oldest
periodicals devoted
to American Jewish history. In honor of
this milestone, JHSM’
s editors and advisory
committee undertook sweeping changes to
make the journal more useful for scholars,
students and the general public.
“We aim to produce knowledge, share it
with the world and, through those actions,
make a difference,
” said JHSM President
Risha B. Ring.
New for 2020, MJH articles are now
peer-reviewed, a process in which lead-
ing academics appraise manuscripts
and offer suggestions for improvement.
JHSM Executive Director and MJH
Editor Catherine Cangany, Ph.D., said,
“The result is stronger, more impactful
scholarship. To encourage submissions
like these, we also have created the Rabbi
Emanuel Applebaum Award, a $2,000
best-article prize.”
The 2020 issue features a unit on a con-
troversy over Michigan’
s first and forgotten
Jewish cemetery, located on what is now
the Diag at the University of Michigan.
Cangany says, “MJH isn’
t ‘
history for
history’
s sake.
’
Thinking critically about the
past helps us understand the present, so we
can change the future — for ourselves and
those who come after us.
