The creation of the Jewish Literary Foundation is to be welcomed with rejoicing and hope. It will surely contribute to the understanding of Jewish culture, so desperately needed beyond the Jewish world as well as within it.

About us
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.
Howard Jacobson
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.
David Grossman
I love Book Week because, whether on stage or in the audience, it makes me feel smart and challenged at the same time.
Tracy Chevalier
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.
David Hare
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.
Elif Shafak
There can’t be an audience more clued-in, attentive or enthusiastic than the one that gathers every year for Book Week. And no wonder: the programme is always bursting with unmissable events.
