The ProsenPeople

Welcome to the Jewish Book Council blog. We hope you'll join us as we venture into the world of Jewish books, exploring questions related to what makes a book Jewish, trends in the Jewish literary scene, interesting new books to come across our desk, emerging authors, interviews, and more. Feel free to write to us with your opinions and ideas. We'd love to hear from you! All posts can now be viewed directly on the main JBC website here: http://www.jewishbookcouncil.org/_blog/The_ProsenPeople/
