JPS Raises a Glass to 120 Years of Service

On October 30, 2008, The Jewish Publication Society celebrated its 120th anniversary with the biggest party in its illustrious history. Over 250 guests gathered in the world-renowned Perelman Theater of Philadelphia's Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts to toast the dedicated leadership of 7 past presidents, honor the Fleisher family for a century of service to JPS, promote its worldwide mitzvah projects, and celebrate 120 years of quality book publishing.

After a year-long fundraising campaign, JPS President David Lerman proudly announced that the Society had exceeded its goal of $120,000 by raising a record $325,000.
