The Essential Jewish Library
I’m always on the lookout for great Jewish books. I love reading these titles with my children and experiencing their joy when they see themselves reflected in the pages of the story. I hope you enjoy these books as much as we have, and I hope you’ll share other titles you love by leaving a comment.
Why read Jewish books?
Reading books with Jewish themes, characters, and values helps strengthen your child’s Jewish identity. It fosters a sense of pride and connection to the Jewish community. Exploring stories and traditions around the world opens windows to the beautiful diversity of Jewish culture.
If you haven’t already, check out PJ Library. It’s an incredible program that sends FREE books to Jewish families.
