The Jewish Publication Society, at its recent 90th annual meeting here, announced the establishment of a national book distribution program. The program, called the JPS Community Trust, has been designed to make books of Jewish interest available to a variety of communal institutions such as hospitals, new community centers, homes for the aged, apartment houses for the elderly, Hillel organizations, college Jewish study programs, university libraries, comps and Israeli institutions.
Prof. A. Leon Levin, outgoing president of JPS, said in announcing the creation of the Trust that it would help the JPS fulfill its chartered goals: “It is our responsibility to provide significant, worthwhile and informative books of Jewish content in the English language so that Jewish religion, history, literature and culture will be read,” he said.
As the Year Turns, Support the Journalism You Trust. JTA covers the stories shaping Jewish life around the world — with the depth this moment calls for. As you reflect on the year ahead, consider a gift that keeps independent Jewish journalism strong.
The Archive of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency includes articles published from 1923 to 2008. Archive stories reflect the journalistic standards and practices of the time they were published.
