Op-ed contributors to the Jewish Voice include Jerusalem Post columnist and editor, Caroline Glick, UN Ambassador John Bolton, British news analyst Melanie Phillips, Washington Post columnist Charles Krauthammer, feminist icon and New York post editorial writer Dr. Phyllis Chesler, Holocaust historian and prolific author, Dr. Rafael Medoff, as well as political commentator, Daniel Greenfield.
The editorial staff includes veteran writer and journalist Fern Sidman who serves as news editor and feature writer, long time educator and orator Alan Bergstein who pens the newspaper’s position on timely issues on the editorial page, social, fashion and entertainment editor Lieba Nesis who files live reports from a plethora of high society venues including the New York Metropolitan Opera and the ballet at Lincoln Center, the charity circuit in the Hamptons as well as other black-tie events. Contributing writers include media events reporter Julie Sagoskin, real estate contributor, Dylan Margolin and local events reporter Dan Miller. With an ever expansive e-mail list of subscribers along with its growing social media footprint, the paper’s digital version now reaches hundreds of thousands of readers throughout the world. In August of 2017, the Jewish Voice Facebook page garnered a million followers. Because the Jewish Voice has the largest Jewish classified ad section in the United States, its print edition is sent to thousands of national and international subscribers each week.
In addition, the Jewish Voice is distributed to hundreds of locations (hospitals, colleges, synagogues, organizational offices, JCCs, etc) throughout the New York tri-state area and beyond. In its mission statement on their Facebook page, the Jewish Voice describes its intent as: “Providing our readers with timely and thought-provoking news and opinion.” As a result, the Jewish Voice has garnered a sterling reputation as the periodical of record for the sophisticated news reader as well as for those who place an emphasis on the importance of Israel and its role in the Middle East and beyond. Although not aligned with any specific religious denomination or movement, the Jewish Voice presents a traditional and rabbinic perspective on Judaism. Its weekly articles on the Torah portion of the week reflect the views of a wide range of rabbis and lay leaders including such Torah luminaries as Rabbi Tzvi Hersh Weinreb, Rabbi Elchanan Frand and Rabbi Osher Anschel Jungreis.
To name but a few, during the summer of 2016, the Jewish Voice broke new ground when they presented their readership with an exhaustively researched investigative piece entitled, “Jewish Leadership’s Failure to Effectively Battle BDS” written by veteran journalists, Drora Clement, Meir Jolovitz and Michael Slepak. After six months of conducting hundreds of interviews on the topic, the Jewish Voice team of investigative reporters revealed the shocking truth behind the Israeli government’s ineptitude in effectively pushing back in the cognitive war of ideas about Israel as manifested in the propaganda being churned out by the malevolent Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement.
Moreover, the article also focused on specific Jewish organizations and leaders who have used the cause of standing up to the egregious fallacies of the BDS movement as just another way to raise funds, without producing any kind of significant results.
