Menucha Publishers

Menucha Publishers is an Orthodox Jewish English-language publishing company based in Brooklyn, New York. Originally founded as a distributor for Targum Press, in 2011 after Targum's shutdown. Menucha established itself as an independent publishing company while continuing to distribute original Targum titles. Subsequently, they began reprinting Targum books in a more modern style.

In the 1990s books were published using "Targum/Feldheim" on the back cover and (using a backslash) "Targum\Feldheim" on the inside title page. Targum Press was the publisher while Feldheim Publishers was the distributor.

Targum Press was founded in 1984 by the late Rabbi Moshe Dombey, at the time a lecturer at yeshiva Ohr Somayach and Neve Yerushalayim seminary. Since its inception, Targum relied on Feldheim Publishers as its distributor;[better source needed] however, it proved too costly.

In 2008, they turned to Menucha Publishers, owned by Hirsch Meir Traub, to run all of the American distribution.

In 2011, Targum, which had been struggling financially, shut down, while Menucha still had all their distribution inventory (however, Targum was reopened soon after by Akiva Atwood). They were therefore able to continue operations, buying books directly from Targum's original printer.

TargumPress.com in 2022 redirected to TargumPublishers.com, saying "35 years of the Finest Jewish Books."

Menucha was able to work with authors – some new and some that had previously published with Targum – to publish books with them.

The MenuchaPublishers website has a shopping cart app.
