JPS Books Around the World

Embrace the power of tzedakah and make a profound difference in the lives of Jews in need around the world. Help JPS to achieve its 2010 goal of sending over 5,000 pounds of free books and educational resources to underserved communities, organizations, prisons, hospitals, and Jewish day schools in America and abroad. Here's a list of organizations that have already benefited from the Books-Around-the-World program.

Contact Michael Pomante for a list of organizations still in need or for additional information. And remember, your purchases of JPS books and gift certificates help to support our Books Around the World program.

Bring a Book to Life

Did you know that the vast majority of JPS books would have never made it to the hundreds of thousands of people around the world who enjoy reading them if it weren't for the generosity of our donors and members?

The JPS Bring a Book to Life program makes it possible for us to continue publishing top-quality Bible resources and fine works of Jewish scholarship and culture. And it gives you the opportunity to contribute to the future of American Jewish culture and education.

Support the JPS Bring a Book to Life program or contact Michael Pomante for more information about supporting a particular title. Here is a list of specific titles in need of support.

Lost Bible Project

The Lost Bible Project is a pioneering effort to restore Second Temple literature to its original Jewish character and context, shedding new light on the history of both Judaism and Christianity. This work is the recipient of two National Endowment for the Humanities grants, but more funds are needed to publish JPS's most ambitious book project in 30 years.

To learn more about the remarkable international team of scholars working on this landmark project, please read the overview [7.3 KB PDF] from Rabbi Barry Schwartz, CEO of the Jewish Publication Society.

JPS Bible Commentary Fund

This year, we need to raise $33,000 to keep our Bible Commentaries in print and to donate them to synagogues and organizations around that cannot afford to purchase them.

Our Bible Commentaries are written by top scholars in their fields, in clear, accessible language. They are recognized as the "gold standard" in Bible scholarship and continue to be read and studied by tens of thousands of people, Jewish and Christian alike. These high-quality books have been produced to be used for generations.
