Grant Criteria: The Malcolm Stern Grant honors Rabbi Malcolm Stern
and his efforts to increase the availability of resources for

to encourage institutions to pursue projects, activities and
acquisitions that provide new or enhanced resources to benefit
Jewish genealogists. The Grant is to be given to institutions
rather than individuals.
