In an age when many are predicting the end of the book as we know it, the work of the Jewish Book Council is a balm for the soul. Those of us who love Jewish books and understand how critical they are to the dialogue and debate that make Jewish life as enriching and vibrant as it is are deeply in the debt of the JBC and its visionary staff and leadership.
-- Daniel Gordis
