This year, we are celebrating the 100th anniversary of Jewish Book Month. As a community, we will come together to highlight the books that make us who we are by showcasing our own Jewish bookshelves.
In 1925, Fanny Goldstein, a librarian at the Boston Public Library, decided Jewish books and Jewish pride were worth celebrating. Fanny set up a display of Jewish books and initiated the first Jewish Book Week.
In honor of Fanny Goldstein’s original book display, we are rolling out a community-wide messaging campaign of“Share Your Shelf. Share Your Story.” Together we will be celebrate our Jewish identity and honor a century of Jewish stories. Fanny strongly believed Jewish identity through literature was worth honoring and recognizing and one-hundred years later, we still do!
