Israeli Book Publishers and the American Market
The Jewish Standard has an interesting article on Israeli book publishers and the American market. (hat tip) The article features publishers such as Koren and Urim.
Brooklyn native Matthew Miller acquired Koren Jerusalem, a venerable 50-year-old Israeli publishing company, in 2005. It now has an American warehouse and sales team, and partners with the new book divisions of Yeshiva University and the Orthodox Union. Some of its latest titles are particularly hot: The first printings of (British Chief Rabbi Jonathan) “Sacks Rosh HaShana Mahzor” and “Mesorat HaRav Siddur with Commentary by Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik” quickly sold out.

Serious question, historically has Islam shown some sort of “extra peaceful” attitude that has earned it this specific title?
