When I ...I think you raise a lot of good questions. When I was a Hebrew School teacher I was always trying to decide what kinds of books were the best to educate my students. There's the fun story books that usually have a lesson and portray some Jewish history or tradition or there were the more straightforward ones which could just teach my students about a holiday or a bible story quickly and to the point. <br /><br />Now I work at JPS and I see that a lot of varieties of books help people, both Jews and non-Jews feel a connection and understanding of Judaism and the Jewish experience. There really needs to be a large variety of "Jewish books" because there isn't just one type of Jew and there's so many ways to educate others. I don't think you can set strict criteria to define the category. Youpose a hard question. I really enjoy reading your blog and would love to hear what your readers think.Jillhttp://www.jewishpub.orgnoreply@blogger.com
