NYC BOOK AWARD 2009
Mitzvah Girls
Ayala Fader
AWARD FOR CULTURAL ANTHROPOLOGY
"Fader does more than reveal a society closed to outsiders: we end with a deeper understanding of these young women’s lives, so rigidly bound by mitzvot (commandments) while they try to negotiate modern life in New York City."
—juror Bobbie Leigh
