We interrupt the regularly scheduled blogging to thank the Jewish Book Council for its review–stellar I might add–of Blue Thread. The Jewish Book CouncilĀ fosters the reading, writing, publishing, and distribution of Jewish-related books in English. It traces its origins to librarian Fanny Goldstein, who created an exhibit of Judaic books in the Boston Public Library in 1925 and established “Jewish Book Week.” Here’s a link to the review.
Thanks, Jewish Book Council
