Jewish World Review is a politicallyconservative,[2][3] online magazine updated Monday through Friday (except forlegal holidays andholy days),[2] which seeks to appeal to "people of faith and those interested in learning more about contemporaryJudaism from Jews who take their religion seriously.”
It carries informational articles related to Judaism, dozens of syndicated columns written mostly by politicallyconservative writers, both Jewish andGentile,advice columns on a number of issues, and cartoons.[2][4]
The founder and editor-in-chief,Binyamin L. Jolkovsky, is arabbinical school graduate[5] and a former correspondent forYated Ne'eman, an Israeli daily.[6] In 2023, Jolkovsky claimed the site was now “among the oldest surviving non-corporate sites on the web."[7]
Although the magazine is written to appeal toOrthodox Jews, Jolkovsky said he seeks a broader readership because "there are a lot of Christians who live Jewish values better than some Jews."[5] Regarding his magazine's political orientation, he said: "It is hard to understand a religious person who votesDemocrat...Maimonides, the great Jewish philosopher, said there are ten levels of charity,tzedakah. The highest level is making a person self-sufficient, which sounds like what theGOP wants to do."[8]
The magazine's first edition said it would not be "preachy orpartisan".[9] It is described by theCenter for Media and Democracy as "politically conservative and religiously-minded".[10]
