People of the Book

I'm excited to announce that Miriam Shaviv is finally ready to launch the world's first Jewish book blog, People of the Book. I am sure it's going to be a valuable and genuinely fascinating blog.

Contributers to the blog are:

Miriam Shaviv, former literary editor of The Jerusalem Post.

Paul Shaviv --

Robert Avrech, publisher, Seraphic Press -- http://www.seraphicpress.com/

Harry from the View From Here and Off the Beaten Bookshelf --

Rachel Berenblat, The Velveteen Rabbi --

Ayelet Waldman, author --

Shawn Landres from Religion and Society, co author w/Michael Berenbaum of After the Passion is Gone: American Religious Consequences --

Danny Bermant --

David Reuben, Eli Katz, Ariel Kahn, Azi Bermant, Judy Shaviv -- bibliophiles

Contributors can post about anything and everything to do with Jewish books/literature/authors, whenever you have anything to say. All posts can be cross-posted to your other blogs.

Please also let Miriam know if you know anyone else who would make a good contributor.

I'm delighted about this new blog; as a Jew and a book lover it's refreshing to see this kind of site open up in the blogosphere.

An essay I wrote about an obscure but wonderful Jewish novel The King's Persons by Joanne Greenberg is currently posted on the site.

Seraphic Secret is private property, that's right, it's an extension of our home, and as such, Karen and I have instituted two Seraphic Rules and we ask commentors to act respectfully.

1. No profanity.

2. No Israel bashing. We debate, we discuss, we are respectful. You know what Israel bashing is. The world is full of it. Seraphic Secret is one of the few places in the world that will not tolerate this form of anti-Semitism.

That's it. Break either of these rules and you will be banned.
