A Review of Jewish Books

Dear Readers

​​

I’ve very much enjoyed running and curating Reading Jewish Fiction, but as of January 2025, I am currently stepping back from this work. All the reviews that came out on the site can also be accessed at The Book Shuk - a feature of Judith, a new online journal that aims to draw awareness and support for Jewish themed work.

​

I’ll continue to review books at other venues. You can follow my work through my website (www.janiceweizman.com) as well as my fb page (Janice Weizman) and Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/_janiceweizman_/). And, if you’re looking for something to read, please consider my novels, Our Little Histories, and The Wayward Moon.

​

I’ll close by thanking the over 1200 readers who have supported this site, but most of all, I want to thank the book reviewers - writers who volunteered their time and effort to read and review books by their peers. I come away from this project with the sense that we, who read and write and think about Jewish literature, comprise a vibrant and vital literary community, which enables the ongoing conversation about the legacy of Judaism in our lives, and in the world.​
