At the heart of the Jew­ish Book Coun­cil is a mis­sion to inspire read­ers, writ­ers, and all who love the writ­ten word. Through the shar­ing of texts and sto­ries, the Jew­ish Book Coun­cil guides com­mu­ni­ties towards a renais­sance of Jew­ish life and expands our under­stand­ing of the wider world.

–Edgar M. Bronfman
