Nextbook is a nonprofit Jewish organization founded in 2003 by Elaine Bernstein's Keren Keshet Foundation^[1] to promote Jewish literacy and support Jewish literature, culture and ideas.^[2] The organization sponsors public lectures, commissions books on Jewish topics through Schocken Books, and publishes an online magazine, Tablet.^[3][4][5]

On June 9, 2009, Nextbook changed the name of its online magazine from Nextbook to Tablet Magazine.^[6]

As of 2009, Nextbook is funded primarily by the Jewish Communal Fund of New York, a donor-advised fund to which Keren Keshet contributes $16 million per year, according to the 990 tax filing available in 2009.^[7] The New York Jewish Week describes Keren Keshet as a "powerhouse" in Jewish philanthropy that provided essentially all of Tablet's $5 million annual budget.^[8] Jonathan Rosen became editorial director in 2007.^[9]

As of 2012 the president of the board is Arthur W. Fried, and Morton Landowne is executive director, described by JTA as a "New York businessman and longtime Modern Orthodox lay leader" whose community experience could help in correcting what some critics call Nextbook's inability to establish a broader reach across the Jewish community.^[10][11]
