In the 1920s Fanny Goldstein, a librarian from the Boston Public Library, created Jewish Book Week to celebrate Jewish authors and stories. In the 1940s, the celebration was extended to a month-long event taking place in the weeks leading up to Hanukkah, the Jewish festival of lights, miracles and identity. This year, Jewish Book Month coincides with the 125th anniversary of NYPL’s Dorot Jewish Division, the oldest public collection of Jewish research materials in America. In celebration of both these events, we have compiled a list of some of our favorite Jewish stories of the past few years.--nypl.org
