2018 has been a busy year for us at Koren Publishers. We're now the umbrella publishing house for 5 (yes, FIVE) imprints: Koren, Maggid Books, Menorah Books, Ofeq Institute and The Toby Press which means we've published more titles this year than EVER before! We’re thrilled to have partnerships with leading organizations such as The Steinsaltz Center, the Rabbinical Council of America, Yeshiva University, Israel 365, the OU Press, Yeshivat Har Etzion, and more.
