As part of NZFOI’s mission to fight prejudice and intolerance, we believe that reading widely about Jewish history and culture can help to fill the void of knowledge that would otherwise be filled by myths and conspiracy theories.
Over time, we have noticed that there are misunderstandings about Jews and Christians and so there are many books included in this shop that address various facets of Judaism and Christianity from various perspectives.
We already operate a lending library from our Christchurch branch. Often we are asked where many of the materials held by our library can be purchased.
We have brought many of the most popular items in our library into an online shop. From here anyone can see them and acquire them for themselves or to give away.
Popular authors include:
- Alan Dershowitz
- Elie Wiesel
- Martin Gilbert
- Chaim Potok
- Abraham Joshua Heschel
- Brad H Young
Popular titles include:
- A history of Israel: Martin Gilbert’s absorbing survey of Israel’s history.
- Above and Beyond: A documentary of the US fighter pilots who had to overcome threats to their citizenship and military blockade to fight in Israel’s 1948 War of Indepencdence.
- Lincoln and the Jews
- Churchill and the Jews
- Israel Matters
- The Book Thief
When you go through the shopping cart, you’ll notice that Amazon.com handles the payments and fulfilments for nearly all the products in the shop. This way you can have confidence that your orders are being securely processed.
Be assured that you are not paying any more than what you would be paying if you bought from Amazon directly. However, if you choose to purchase through our “shop”, a small margin of the purchase price (4%), is donated to NZFOI. All prices are in USD.

PS. Thanks for bearing with the occasional technical hiccups. We’re still figuring out how we imported soap powder and perfumes into the shop! Fortunately they were able to be deleted quickly.
PPS. Since we are trying to bring disparate groups together with diverse understandings of themselves as much as each other, just because a publication is listed in the shop, it does not mean that NZFOI endorses those views.
