A Book of Jewish Thoughts

A Book of Jewish Thoughts – New Edition

First published in 1917 and compiled by Chief Rabbi Dr. Joseph Hertz in London for Jewish soldiers and sailors serving in World War I, A Book of Jewish Thoughts is a timeless anthology of prayers, poetry, and reflections. Recreated in 2025 by The Jewish Brand, this edition revives a work originally intended to bring courage and spiritual strength in times of crisis, now reimagined to speak to today’s challenges. As it once inspired soldiers in the battlefield, it continues to offer wisdom, solace, and perspective for our modern world.

Designed with both elegance and practicality in mind, this edition comes in a refined pocket size—perfect to carry with you wherever life takes you. The hard navy-blue cover, embossed with golden inscriptions, together with the gilded page edges, gives the book a sleek and distinguished appearance that makes it as much a treasured keepsake as it is a companion for daily reading.

Celebrated actor and writer Stephen Fry recommends this book.
