Jewish Book Week 2012 

For nine days Jewish Book Week brought both new and faithful audiences in their thousands to Kings Place for a jamboree of culture exploring the Jewish experience.

In our 60th anniversary year, JBW presented talks by celebrated international authors, new writing, films, comedy and musical and spoken word performance.

The festival is over, but the buzz continues here: relive the experience with videos and podcasts, dip into audience reviews on our Bagels and Books blog, or stay with us to enjoy 100s of talks in our treasure trove.

Planning is already under way for Jewish Book Week at Kings Place, 23 February to 3 March 2013, with our new Director, Hester Abrams, and team. There'll be more from behind the scenes at JBW on our blog.

But meanwhile, we'd love your ideas and feedback --

For our Diamond Anniversary we drew up a list of the Best Jewish Books of the last 60 years, books that inspired or infuriated us, or in some way shaped our lives.

Visitors at Jewish Book Week told us what they'd include on the list. From Where the Wild Things Are to A Book of Jewish Food, our Audiobooth captures their ideas. Produced by Sarah Peters, with readings by actors.

Listen to The Guardian Sounds Jewish podcast direct from JBW 2012, with special guests Shalom Auslander, Etgar Keret, Meg Rosoff and David Schneider.

Introduced by Jonathan Freedland and produced with The Jewish Community Centre for London.
