"In a groundbreaking step to combat rising #antisemitism and further the education of #Judaism’s universal values, #German #publisher #GütersloherVerlagshaus, a subsidiary of #PenguinRandomHouse, is #translating The #Book of #Jewish Knowledge by the Rohr Jewish Learning Institute (#JLI) into German, with an expected release in #bookstores by June 2026.

This encyclopedic resource spans nearly 500 pages and covers 4,000 years of Jewish #history, answering 1,200 questions on Judaism—from fundamental inquiries like “What is Judaism?” to practical matters of daily Jewish life. It delves into #archaeological insights, #Midrashic parables, #Kabbalistic diagrams, and practical #holiday guides, making complex material accessible to general readers, students, and scholars alike.

The #translation project has received the full endorsement of Dr. Felix Klein, Germany’s Federal Commissioner for Jewish Life and the Fight Against Antisemitism."
