The Jewish Book Council Today
On January 1, 1994, the Jewish Book Council became an autonomous organization. This was precipitated by a JCC Association decision to cease all funding and organizational assistance. Convinced that the Jewish Book Council remained essential to the People of the Book, the Council's executive board voted to create an independent entity. The new organization is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) corporation chartered in the State of New York. It is supported, to a large degree, by dedicated and interested individuals and foundations in the Jewish community.
