Fall is just around the corner and at JBC we can practically taste the honeycake and hope that the High Holidays inspire in us every year. As we look ahead to changing leaves and cooler climes, there’s plenty of new Jewish books to keep you occupied. Here is a selection of thirteen books too look forward to as we greet the new year.
And while, technically, autumn doesn’t start until the end of September, there are some books coming out in the beginning of the month that are simply not to be missed!
