Jewish Book Month has become a widely observed date
on the calendar of North
American Jewry, with Jewish
Community Centers, synagogues, Jewish schools, libraries, organizations and entire
Jewish communities sponsoring Jewish Book Fairs and other special book programs to
focus attention on the latest
books of Jewish interest. The
1992 Jewish Bookfair at the
Leo Yassenoff Jewish Community Center will run through
Nov. 22.
The history of Jewish Book
'Month goes back to 1925,
when Fanny Goldstein, a Boston librarian, set up a Judaica
exhibit to mark the first Jewish Book Week. The idea later
gained national acceptance
and popularity. By 1943, when
the Jewish Book Council was
formally organized, the week-
long event had expanded into
Jewish Book Month. In the
State of New York, Jewish
Book Month will be proclaimed as an official observance.
The Jewish Book Council
confers the annual National
Jewish Book Awards and library citations; publishes Jewish Book World and the trilingual Jewish Book Annual;
syndicates Jewish Books in
Review; participates in international, national and regional book fairs; conducts Jewish
book conferences; issues a
wide variety of annotated Jewish bibliographies and provides consultation on setting
up a Jewish Book Fair.
