Marshall Sklare Award
The Marshall Sklare Award is an annual honor of the Association for the Social Scientific Study of Jewry (ASSJ). The ASSJ seeks to recognize "a senior scholar who has made a significant scholarly contribution to the social scientific study of Jewry." In most cases, the recipient has given a scholarly address. In recent years, the honored scholar has presented the address at the annual meeting of the Association for Jewish Studies. In 2020, in honor of the 50th anniversary of the organization, the ASSJ board chose to break the precedent of honoring one person per year and named two honorees, both of whom were founders of the ASSJ.
