Torah in the Tarot 

This fas­ci­nat­ing tarot deck and booket by Stav Appel, avail­able from Ayin Press, show­cas­es the like­li­hood that tarot was deeply influ­enced by Jew­ish mys­ti­cism. Not only does the book­let fea­ture a deep dive into the Jew­ish sym­bols con­cealed in the tarot (which the author dis­cuss­es in this piece on PB Dai­ly as well), but also the deck itself is gor­geous — a faith­ful repli­ca­tion of the Jean Noblet Tarot that any fan of Torah or tarot will treasure.

T‑shirts

Rejoice, all ye fans of Michael Chabon’s Pulitzer Prize – win­ning The Amaz­ing Adven­tures of Kava­lier and Clay! These T‑shirts, made to com­mem­o­rate the opera adap­ta­tion of the nov­el (which pre­miered at the Met­ro­pol­i­tan Opera this fall), might be as amaz­ing as the tit­u­lar adven­tures themselves.

We all love a good ori­gin sto­ry, and if yours includes Jew­ish sum­mer camp, this T‑shirt from Havu­rah Arts Col­lec­tive is the per­fect way to show it.

Book­marks

A clas­sic gift for the book lover! There are a pletho­ra of great options out there — we’re par­tic­u­lar­ly intrigued by this unique set of nine book­marks with retro stamps from Jew­ish libraries and book guilds, and by the del­i­cate charm and fes­tive col­ors of this ham­sa book­mark. 

Totes

Every read­er needs some­thing to car­ry their books in. Old Jew­ish Men’s Shlep XL tote will pro­vide even the most vora­cious (or inde­ci­sive) read­er with enough space to have mul­ti­ple books on hand. For those who love to dis­cuss their read­ing with oth­ers (hel­lo, book club-ers!) JBC’s new bur­gundy-and-cream-col­ored Ask Me What I’m Read­ing tote is sure to spark conversations.

Home Goods

A thought­ful­ly stocked book­shelf is a great way to show your guests (or your Zoom con­tacts) your pride in read­ing. But why stop there? Help your loved ones to con­vey their appre­ci­a­tion of lit­er­a­ture by giv­ing them an eye-catch­ing book-shaped can­dle or mug. Or give them these delight­ful book-themed mez­zuzahs (which adorn the JBC office and well as many of our team’s own homes!). 

Read­ing Mate­r­i­al That is Not a Book 

What if you want to give your loved ones some­thing to read, but don’t want to run the risk of get­ting them a book that isn’t their style?

With a beau­ti­ful­ly illus­trat­ed map of Jew­ish libraries around the world, short fic­tion set at Jew­ish sum­mer camp, an essay about writ­ing mys­ter­ies by Tova Mirvis, and much more, the 2026 issue of Paper Brigade, JBC’s annu­al lit­er­ary jour­nal, has some­thing for every read­er. Metic­u­lous­ly pro­duced and filled with gor­geous illus­tra­tions and pho­tog­ra­phy, it’s a gift that will be cher­ished for many years to come.

JBC’s newest pro­gram, Nu Reads, lets you give not one book, but a sub­scrip­tion to six books a year! Every oth­er month, Nu Reads sub­scribers receive a box with signed copy of a nov­el, short sto­ry col­lec­tion, or mem­oir, togeth­er with some book-themed good­ies. They’ll also be invit­ed to events with the author of each selec­tion. And if you pur­chase a Nu Reads sub­scrip­tion before Decem­ber 31, you’ll receive a found­ing mem­ber discount.
