A Word of Welcome from Dr. Malka Z. Simkovich

Director and Editor-in-Chief of The Jewish Publication Society

Welcome to The Jewish Publication Society, a historic Jewish press that has brought exciting Jewish ideas into communities, synagogues, and homes since 1888. Our publications, which include The JPS TANAKH, esteemed Bible commentaries, and hundreds of works of history, philosophy, and literature, represent a wide spectrum of vibrant Jewish scholarship, and we take pride in supporting authors across all Jewish denominations who write books that address essential topics pertaining to the study of Judaism.

At JPS, we understand that Jewish books are more important than ever, and that the people who care about them have a critical role to play in Jewish life. Whether you are an author, a reader, or simply someone who is invested in the future of the Jewish people, I invite you to reach out to me to discuss how you can partner with us to support Jewish books.

Warmly,
Malka Z. Simkovich, Ph.D.
Director and Editor-in-Chief
The Jewish Publication Society
