Great Site for Jewish Culture

Nextbook.org is a great organization. Here is how they describe themselves:

Created in 2003 as a locus for Jewish literature, culture, and ideas, Nextbook is a non-profit organization which commissions books on Jewish themes, sponsors public lectures, readings, and performances in cities around the country, and publishes an online magazine. The website, Nextbook.org, contains information on all of these projects and also maintains an annotated list of recommended books.

My friend, Jonathan Rosen, is the Editorial Director of their publishing arm.
He is a talented author (the novel Eve's Apple; The Talmud and the Internet: A Journey Between Worlds; and Joy Comes in the Morning. In 1990, Jonathan created the Arts & Letters section of the Forward, which he oversaw for ten years.
