A wide variety of themes and stories caught the attention of this year's Helen and Stan Vine Canadian Jewish Book Award jurors, from cycling spies to stolen identities and much more. This year is the 25th annual presentation of the prizes, with nine authors honoured (including two co-authors). The awards were founded to recognise and celebrate excellent Canadian writing on Jewish themes and subjects. Past winners of the prize include Peter C. Newman, Alison Pick and David Bezmozgis. An awards ceremony will take place on Thursday, June 6, 2013 at 8:00p.m. The ceremony is free and open to the public at the Toronto Reference Library (789 Yonge Street). The event will be hosted by past president and publisher of Penguin Books Canada and director of the Humber Creative Book Publishing Program, Cynthia Good. The 2013 jury consisted of Barbara Berson, Adam Fuerstenberg, Judith Ghert, Alain Goldschläger, Sara R. Horowitz, Carla Lancit, Michael Posner, Judy Stoffman and Edward Trapunski.
