Library of Jewish Ideas

Rosie Perera

The Library of Jewish Ideas is a book series sponsored by the Tikvah Fund in collaboration with Princeton University Press. The purpose of this multi-volume series is to present concise, engaging, and  authoritative treatments of core Jewish concepts in a form that will be at once useful to students, of interest to professionals, and appealing to general readers who are curious about what Judaism has to say in key areas of human thought and experience.

To date, the Library of Jewish Ideas has published seven books:

• Halakhah: The Rabbinic Idea of Law
  Chaim N. Saiman
• The Story of Hebrew
  Lewis Glinert
• Inheriting Abraham: The Legacy of the Patriarch in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam
  Jon D. Levenson, Harvard University
• No Joke: Making Jewish Humor
  Ruth R. Wisse, The Tikvah Fund and Harvard University
• Human Nature & Jewish Thought: Judaism’s Case for Why Persons Matter
  Alan L. Mittleman, Jewish Theological Seminary
• The Love of God: Divine Gift, Human Gratitude, and Mutual Faithfulness in Judaism
  Jon D. Levenson, Harvard University
• After One-Hundred-and-Twenty: Reflecting on Death, Mourning, and the Afterlife in the Jewish Tradition
  Hillel Halkin

I have added suggestions for all of these on the Feedback site:
