Jewish Websites: News and Thought
This list will probably always be incomplete. Jews think a lot, and the number of magazines we have reflects that. This does include some magazines that are NOT explicitly Jewish, but are Israeli. I recognize those are not the same thing.:
- +972 Magazine. +972 magazine is a magazine from Israel, written by a group of Israeli and Palestinian journalists, that leans strongly leftist.
- Commentary magazine. Commentary magazine is a magazine, formerly leftist but slowly going neoconservative and lately somewhat Trumpist. They do, however, maintain their archives, going back to late 1945, providing a fascinating look at how they have shifted over time. Note: their search function is...not the best. Further note: In the interest of a full disclosure, I have two relatives who have written for it.
- Hadassah magazine. Hadassah magazine is a magazine for Zionist Jewish women, published by Hadassah, founded by the unfortunately late Henrietta Szold.
- Moment magazine. Moment magazine is a magazine of "Jewish politics, culture, and religion". They are an American magazine that leans leftist.
- Ami Magazine. An Orthodox Jewish oriented magazine. I do not recommend them, as they've positively covered the horrific cult Lev Tahor (read more at the Orthodox Yeshiva World: Cults and the War of the Jewish Magazines
- Mishpacha. Also Orthodox, but with far more integrity than Ami. They cover Lev Tahor, if a bit too 'neutral' for my tastes, as an undeniably bad thing.
- Jewish Action Published by the Orthodox Union.
- Jewish Currents A lot of these are very much pro-Israel. Jewish Currents is a magazine I disagree with on many topics for many reasons, but they are worth noting.
- Lilith Feminist Jewish women's magazine. To give you the vibe, named after an alleged wife of Adam before Eve, who proposed a small measure of equality and was exiled, and later, the legend goes, became a baby-eating seductress. Lilith the magazine glosses over this later part somewhat, I believe.
- Tablet Recommended, but I think they might have a paywall now.
- Sapir Journal Similar vibe to Commentary, which is hardly surprising given the editor-in-chief is Bret Stephens, who is, to quote Wikipedia, "part of the right-of-center opposition" to Trump.
- Third thing
