The Jewish Book Council (Hebrew: המועצה למען הספר היהודי באמריקה), founded in 1943, is an American organization encouraging and contributing to Jewish literature.[2] The goal of the council, as stated on its website, is "to promote the reading, writing and publishing of quality English language books of Jewish content in North America".[3] The council sponsors the National Jewish Book Awards, the JBC Network, JBC Book Clubs, the Visiting Scribe series, and Jewish Book Month. It previously sponsored the Sami Rohr Prize for Jewish Literature.[4] It publishes an annual literary journal called Paper Brigade.[3]
