Every November, Jewish Community Centers, synagogues, federations and other organizations throughout the U.S. celebrate Jewish Book Month. The driving force behind this idea is the Jewish Book Council, headed by the energetic Carolyn Hessel.
The JBC claims that since its establishment in 1943, it has been "the only organization in the American Jewish community exclusively committed to promoting and advocating for Jewish literature. [We serve] as a catalyst for the writing, publication, distribution, reading and public awareness of books reflecting the rich variety of Jewish experience." In other words, the JBC helps Jews remain "the people of the book."
