About the Partners.
The Neighborhood: An Urban Center for Jewish Life is working to build a Jewish community and cultural center that will be an inclusive and welcoming community hub. We do not yet have a physical location, but we hope to be a gathering place for local Jewish groups and organizations that don’t have their own space, for new programming, and for cross-community collaboration. We hope to create a welcoming space that reflects the spirit of Brooklyn — future-thinking and deeply historical, iconoclastic, and sacred.
Jewish Book Council, founded in 1943, is the longest-running organization devoted exclusively to the support and celebration of Jewish literature. For over seventy years, Jewish Book Council has brought people together for meaningful discussions about Jewish life, identity, and culture through a literary lens. Each year, JBC reaches more than half a million readers with weekly reviews and essays, arranges 1,400 Jewish literary programs, publishes the literary journal Paper Brigade, presents the National Jewish Book Awards, and provides discussion resources to over 2,000 book clubs, among other activities.
