As an author, a lover of books, and a person who cares deeply about the American Jewish community, I want to express my fullest admiration and appreciation for the Jewish Book Council. By sponsoring dozens of Jewish book fairs across North America and by sponsoring the National Jewish Book Award, the Book Council introduces the best of Jewish writing to wide and diverse audiences. Many authors owe their careers to the Jewish book council and countless readers have been enriched by its contributions. In the world of literature, there are few organizations that compare to the Jewish Book Council in its vitality, scope, and its commitment to writers and readers alike.
