Schocken Books is a book publishing imprint of Penguin Random House that specializes in Jewish literary works.

Originally established in 1931 by Salman Schocken as Schocken Verlag in Berlin, the company later moved to Israel and then the United States, and was acquired by Random House in 1987.

[1] After being shut down by the Germans in 1939, Schocken, who immigrated from Germany to Palestine in 1934, founded the Hebrew-language Schocken Publishing House in Mandatory Palestine.

In 1945 he founded the English-language Schocken Books in New York City.

Schocken Books continues to publish Jewish literary works.
