As you may have noticed, we’ve been rather busy over the last few months. We’re excit­ed that our first four-col­or, and new­ly redesigned, Jew­ish Book World is out to sub­scribers (you can check it out dig­i­tal­ly here) and that we’ve revealed our new online look to the world. With our new web­site, read­ers can now browse hun­dreds of reviews online, share them with friends, and tweet them to the world. Plus, new reviews will be added dai­ly, as well as new book club ques­tions, inter­views, and book trail­ers. Anoth­er great fea­ture of the new site is our cal­en­dar list­ings. If you have a Jew­ish lit­er­ary event you want our read­ers to know about, be sure to send them to us under the ​“sub­mit an event” tab. The final big change is the name our blog and its new home on the main JBC web­site: The Pros­en­Peo­ple (hehe, get it?). And, with that, a new name for our blog­ging series with MyJew­ish­Learn­ing: The Vis­it­ing Scribe. Now on to the lat­est books on the JBC Bookshelf:
