We have lift-off! Welcome to your brand new Jewish News website!
Announcing our new global digital partnership with The Times of Israel
Richard Ferrer has been editor of Jewish News since 2009. As one of Britain's leading Jewish voices he writes for The Times, Independent, New Statesman and many other titles. Richard previously worked at the Daily Mail, Daily Mirror, edited the Boston Jewish Advocate and created the Channel 4 TV series Jewish Mum Of The Year.
Jewish News has firmly established itself as the UK’s biggest Jewish media brand with a new global digital partnership with The Times of Israel – beginning today!
A sparkling new website – tailored to showcase breaking news, exclusive features, a vibrant blogging platform, Weekly Edition newsletter and numerous other elements that have helped give The Times of Israel widespread and growing resonance – launches today.
As part of the deal, The Times of Israel will promote the Jewish News’s content among readers in the UK via its homepage and other pages, ensuring high resonance and visibility for the Jewish News’s articles.
Jewish News editor Richard Ferrer said: “This exciting partnership firmly establishes Jewish News as the UK’s biggest Jewish media brand. The Times of Israel is on the cutting-edge of digital journalism. As its UK partner, Jewish News will deliver an unrivalled platform for local and world news and a vast community of bloggers – all on a state-of-the-art website catering for an audience of millions.”
Times of Israel Editor David Horovitz said: “As an ex-Londoner, I’m particularly delighted that the Jewish News has become our local partner for the UK. Meeting with their young, smart editorial team, led by editor Richard Ferrer, at their offices a few weeks ago, I quickly saw how it is that the Jewish News has become such an essential read. Its writers and editors are dedicated, curious and skilled – a winning combination in journalism. I’m delighted that our partnership will help ensure their work is widely read online, complementing their weekly print edition.”
After four years of continued growth, The Times of Israel currently has some 20 million monthly page views; it publishes in French, Arabic, Chinese and Persian as well as English; it has more than 150,000 daily email subscribers and over 5,000 bloggers.

Engaging
Being a community platform means so much more than producing a newspaper and website. One of our proudest roles is media partnering with our invaluable charities to amplify the outstanding work they do to help us all.
Celebrating
There’s no shortage of oys in the world but Jewish News takes every opportunity to celebrate the joys too, through projects like Night of Heroes, 40 Under 40 and other compelling countdowns that make the community kvell with pride.
Pioneering
In the first collaboration between media outlets from different faiths, Jewish News worked with British Muslim TV and Church Times to produce a list of young activists leading the way on interfaith understanding.
Campaigning
Royal Mail issued a stamp honouring Holocaust hero Sir Nicholas Winton after a Jewish News campaign attracted more than 100,000 backers. Jewish Newsalso produces special editions of the paper highlighting pressing issues including mental health and Holocaust remembrance.
Easy access
In an age when news is readily accessible, Jewish News provides high-quality content free online and offline, removing any financial barriers to connecting people.
Voice of our community to wider society
The Jewish News team regularly appears on TV, radio and on the pages of the national press to comment on stories about the Jewish community. Easy access to the paper on the streets of London also means Jewish News provides an invaluable window into the community for the country at large.
We hope you agree all this is worth preserving.
