Take a look back at HBI’s 25 years producing and promoting a unique range of scholarly and artistic works focusing on the exploration of Jewish gender and women's studies.

“HBI is providing an important model of women supporting other women, by saying, ‘We think your work and creativity is really valuable and we think it should be heard around the world and we will help you with that.’ Who else is going to do that?”

Elana Sztokman, HBI Author, recipient of two Jewish Book Awards
