Imagine if your school (parents, staff, board members even students) were reading books together that sparked lively debate on Judaism's bedrock themes. Imagine discussion with friends, neighbors, and fellow parents about Maimonides, medical ethics, or the position of the Jew in medieval Muslim society and its relevance to today's world. Or a conversation about Emma Lazarus that tackles critical questions about the role of immigrants in America. Picture a journey through the life and work of Marc Chagall and a discussion of the provocative questions he raises about Jewish identity.
With the Nextbook/RAVSAK One Book - One School program you'll have the opportunity to engage in conversation and Jewish literary inquiry by reading and discussing books from our critically acclaimed Jewish Encounters series. Inspired by the enormous hunger for books on Jewish subjects written in a lively, intelligent, and popular manner, these books bring people and ideas alive in short volumes that are written and edited to be accessible to readers with even the most cursory knowledge of Jewish history and custom.
Nextbook provides almost everything you need to create a One Book program in your school - all you need to add is a gathering of interested and curious people.
