Jewish American Heritage Month is a great time to read something new that touches on a topic or history we didn’t know about before. I’ve put together a list (which could have been much, much longer!) of picture books, middle grade and YA, and adult books to enjoy this month — or any time, really. The books showcase Jewish Americans, highlight our diversity, explore aspects of our culture, or are just snapshots of Jewish life in America. There are so many great Jewish authors that I could have included on this list that I’d recommend, too: Dahlia Adler (her forthcoming one is Home Field Advantage), Victoria Lee, Hannah Moskowitz, Chanda Prescod-Weinstein, LC Rosen, and much more. In the meantime, here’s a short list to get you started! If you’re looking for even more Jewish books, check out this post on Jewish fantasy books, and if you’d like to learn more, this post on books to teach you about Judaism is great.
