Rivkah Books is Canada’s first general trade press dedicated exclusively to Jewish voices. Founded by Rebecca Eckler and operating under the umbrella of RE:BOOKS, RIVKAH publishes fiction and nonfiction that reflect the diversity of Jewish experience while resonating across communities.

The name “Rivkah,” meaning “to bind” and “to connect” in Hebrew, captures the imprint’s mission: to strengthen cultural bonds and ensure Jewish stories remain part of our shared national narrative. Building on the success of Eckler’s RE:BOOKS—which champions women’s writing—Rivkah expands this vision by welcoming all writers to explore Jewish identity, history, and contemporary life.

In a time of rising antisemitism, Rivkah Books provides a vital platform for Jewish voices to be celebrated, not sidelined. Its trade list complements the scholarly focus of the New Jewish Press, offering accessible titles for general readers in Canada and beyond.
