Jewish Book Summaries
For the People of The Book

Jewish Book Reviews (JBR), a project of The Chasen Family Foundation, is dedicated to bringing reviews and summaries of books on Jewish interests to a broader audience . understanding that a more educated community will be a more engaged community. By condensing and distributing the core messages of important works of fiction and non-fiction, JBR makes the lessons of these fine works accessible to the broader community.

JBR, through the Chasen Family Foundation, also supports lectures, seminars and book review classes.
