Introducing the Jewish Literary Supplement

By Paul Zakrzewski

The National Foundation for Jewish Culture is proud to announce the new Jewish Literary Supplement channel on Jbooks.com!

Since 2001, the Supplement has focused on outstanding new fiction, memoir and poetry. Moreover, the Supplement has aimed to connect readers to the best in new Jewish books, and to make these books and authors accessible to both large and small communities across the country. 

Thanks to our collaboration with Jbooks.com, we are able to make the Supplement available to an even broader readership. Here you’ll find links to some of the best articles we’ve published over the past few years. And stay tuned for more. Beginning in November, you’ll find all the original content of the upcoming 2006 Supplement available for viewing.

This year’s edition aims to be an indispensable tool for Jewish book clubs as never before. In addition to excerpts and essays, we’ll be adding such features as a discussion on how to run a successful book club, and how new technology such as blogs and podcasts are changing the way readers and writers connect. And we’ll be featuring coverage of the revamped Koret International Jewish Book Awards, hosted by Jewish Family & Life and the National Foundation for Jewish Culture.

Aimed at “book groups of one or more,” the Supplement has become an indispensable tool for book clubs and other discussion groups. Published each November, it is distributed to more than 250,000 households as an insert in leading Anglo-Jewish newspapers such as the Jewish Journal of Los Angeles and the New York Jewish Week. Please contact the editor if you’re interested in more information or would like to be part of the upcoming print publication.
