Nextbook is a nonprofit Jewish organization founded in 2003 by Elaine Bernstein's Keren Keshet Foundation[1] to promote Jewish literacy and support Jewish literature, culture and ideas.
[2] The organization sponsors public lectures, commissions books on Jewish topics through Schocken Books, and publishes an online magazine, Tablet.
[7] The New York Jewish Week describes Keren Keshet as a "powerhouse" in Jewish philanthropy that provided essentially all of Tablet's $5 million annual budget.
[9] As of 2012 the president of the board is Arthur W. Fried, and Morton Landowne is executive director, described by JTA as a "New York businessman and longtime Modern Orthodox lay leader" whose community experience could help in correcting what some critics call Nextbook's inability to establish a broader reach across the Jewish community.
