Jewish Book Week has become London’s non-party parliament, distinguished from the other one by people listening as well as talking. It’s the best.
Open to everyone, the festival features a wide range of Jewish themes and offers over 80 conversations, performances and talks in-person and online across nine days. We connect our audience with thinkers from around the world, including actors, artists, authors, broadcasters, comedians, historians, musicians, philosophers, poets, politicians, singers, scientists and so much more.
Book Week 24 returned in-person at Kings Place, London, and online for 90 conversations, performances, workshops, debates and talks from 2-10 March 2024.

Jewish Book Week has become London’s non-party parliament, distinguished from the other one by people listening as well as talking. It’s the best.
I love Jewish Book Week because, whether on stage or in the audience, it makes me feel smart and challenged at the same time.
The year always begins for me with Jewish Book Week – here are old friends, faithful readers, new writers, a great melting pot of ideas, talk, collaboration and hope.
Jewish Book Week is one of my favourite festivals across the world. With a remarkable line-up of speakers and sessions, it nourishes souls, challenges minds and quietly heals hearts.
Jewish Book Week for me, has taken the form of a laboratory, a testing ground and a celebration space. The programme is equal parts impressive and fascinating.
I feel that the most relevant place for every thinking and feeling woman and man to be is in the events of the Jewish Literary Foundation.
