Jewish Book Month School Author Events
Tuesday, December 17, 2024
10–11am
Virtual
Jewish Book Council is celebrating its 99th Annual Jewish Book Month from November 24-December 24.
This year, Jewish Book Council is hosting three virtual author events throughout the month of Jewish Book Month for Jewish Day Schools and Early Childhood Centers. Students have the opportunity to hear from Jewish Book Council’s amazing authors as we celebrate the joy of Jewish Books throughout this Jewish Book Month.
Jewish Book Month is traced back to 1925 when Boston librarian Fanny Goldstein created Jewish Book Week to promote, celebrate, and educate her community on Jewish literature. In just seven years, Jewish Book Week became an established event and was celebrated across North America with the goal of not only celebrating Jewish luminaries and thinkers but also teaching the world about the Jewish people.
