In writers’ groups and forums, Jewish authors describe a sense that their work is being railroaded because they are Jewish.
“Jewish books need visibility,” said Jewish Book Council CEO Naomi Firestone-Teeter.

The Jewish Life Foundation is creating a TV and podcast series, “The People of the Book with Josh Radnor,” that will spotlight Jewish authors and conversations about Jewish identity and culture.
