}}The Jewish Press is an American weekly newspaper based in Brooklyn, New York, and geared toward the Modern Orthodox Jewish community. It describes itself as "America's Largest Independent Jewish Weekly".[3]

The Jewish Press has an online version which is updated daily.[4]

History

Jewish newspapers had been in decline in the late 1950s.[5] Sensing the need for Jewish content created by this void, two leading rabbis, Moshe Feinstein and Simcha Elberg, delegated the task of filling it to Sholom Klass.[6] Klass, together with his father-in-law Raphael Schreiber (1885-1980), founded The Jewish Press in January 1960, resolving to publish a national weekly newspaper in English that "everyone in America will be able to read".[7] The first issue was published on January 29th of that year.[7]

Elliot Resnick serves as the paper's chief editor. Former editors have included Jason Maoz, Meir Kahane, Arnold Fine,[7] Julius Liebb[8] and Steve Walz. The online edition is run by Stephen Leavitt.

Editorial policy

The Jewish Press is oriented toward the Modern Orthodox Jewish community, covering Jewish news from New York City, the United States, and Israel.[2] The newspaper has a politically conservative viewpoint and editorial policy.[9][3] It describes itself as "politically incorrect long before the phrase was coined",[5] and has been willing to cover controversial topics such as the sexual abuse cases in Brooklyn's Haredi community.[8]

In 1990, ultraconservative Catholic weekly The Wanderer reported about a notice posted in The Jewish Press excommuniticating U.S. Representative Barney Frank, seeking to affirm similar practice in the Catholic Church. It was later pointed out to them that the notice was posted by an outlier, and that Judaism lacked a centralized excommunication process. Abraham Hecht, president of the Rabbinical Alliance of America, said "If we were going to start excommunicating, we'd have a list as long as the New York telephone directory".[10]

In March 2014, The newspaper fired its Israel-based online edition editor Yori Yanover after he wrote an op-ed titled "50 Thousand Haredim March So Only Other Jews Die in War."[11] The piece was in reference to a Haredi Jewish prayer rally

in Manhattan protesting the draft of Yeshiva students to the Israel Defence Forces.[12] The editorial board issued an apology saying "The article in question was posted without authorization and approval of The Jewish Press newspaper.." and "the sentiments expressed in the article and headline do not represent these of the Jewish Press, its officers, editors and staff."[13] Yanover wrote a response in which he replied, "I wrote the article after discussion with my supervisor and then submitted the article for review, as per the protocol you established."[11]
