Last week, the cultural website Nextbook celebrated the release of Benjamin Disraeli and Resurrecting Hebrew, the ninth and tenth books in its acclaimed Jewish Encounters series (launched as a co-venture with Schocken Books in 2005). The imprint achieved another milestone this summer with the publication of paperback editions of the first two books in the series, The Life of David and Maimonides.

While the website’s new editor-in-chief, Alana Newhouse, chatted with literary sisters Dara and Jordana Horn, the book line’s editorial director, Jonathan Rosen, was flanked by the four authors whose work was being celebrated: Adam Kirsch, Ilan Stavans, Sherwin Nuland, and Robert Pinsky.
