Voice of the Jewish News: Our community’s voice just got louder
This week's editorial focuses on the newspaper having been generously gifted by its long-time owner, Leo Noé, to a charitable foundation
After a challenging year for Jewish News and, indeed, almost every publication, we are delighted that the newspaper has been generously gifted by its long-time owner, Leo Noé, to a charitable foundation.
It’s been an annus horribilis for print media, which faced a decline in advertising long before coronavirus.
Indeed, many established Jewish titles have been forced to fold, such as The Boston Jewish Advocate, Jewish Journal of Los Angeles and Canadian Jewish News. Now, under secure and ambitious communal ownership, Jewish News finds itself ending 2020 stronger than ever.
You may have noticed we’re also inviting Jewish News readers to help strengthen our position at the centre of British-Jewish life via an online donations platform at jewishnews.co.uk.
As we proudly state on the front page of every issue, Jewish News is ‘the voice of the community’.
Today that voice is bigger and louder and prouder than ever.
All he’s left behind
What can be added to the abundance of eloquent tributes paid to Rabbi Lord Sacks this week? Perhaps simply this.
Today, and for many days to come, it will feel as if his death has taken so much away from us.
Yet it’s comforting to know that in the years and decades to come, the world will be blessed by all he has left behind.
We wish Lord Sacks’ family long life and invite Jewish News readers to email their personal memories of the great man to tributes@rabbisacks.org.
