Hypothetically, does anyone have any tips for shortlisting 30 abstracts from 156 submissions?

Some personal news, my grandma passed away in July. I’ve written a piece to remember her. It explores my family’s relationship to education and Judaism across generations through the lens of my grandma, her grandmother, and I. I hope it can resonate with others going through loss. 🔗 in bio/comments

Looking back at my camera roll to see all the archival material I spent time looking at but never cited. Still a pleasure to be able to view these pieces of history!

I’ve recently set up a substack where I discuss history, Judaism, and more at greater length. Feel free to have a look if you’re interested!

I’m trying to find secondary reading sources on the shulchan aruch/שלחן ערוך to write about it in the wider context of early modern intellectual and printing press progress. Can anyone recommend anything?
