OVERVIEW

J. is an independent nonprofit news outlet. Our mission is to inform, connect, and strengthen the Jewish community of Northern California by producing high-quality journalism through the lens of Jewish experience.

J. reaches over over 120,000 readers each month through our website at jweekly.com, free email newsletters, Facebook, Instagram, and a biweekly print issue.

Our reporting on antisemitic incidents at UC Berkeley and at public schools in Santa Clara county fueled lawsuits aimed at protecting Jewish students, while projects like our Purim kid reporters bring joy. 

MISSION

J. The Jewish News of Northern California informs, connects and strengthens the region’s diverse Jewish community by producing high-quality journalism through the lens of Jewish experience.

CURRENT INITIATIVES

J. covers the full range of what it means to be Jewish today — from the arts to religion, food, lifecycle events and news of our local, national and global communities. Our talented staff writers cover the local community in depth, augmented by a stable of skilled, seasoned freelancers. We strive to fill J. with the diverse voices that characterize our vibrant Jewish community, to present a wide range of views through op-eds and letters from our readers, and to engage the reader in the kind of lively debate that enriches and defines Jewish life.
