Dear Readers, Journalists, Advertisers,

Your response to our first issue of the Jewish Voice from Germany has been overwhelming. We got feedback from the US, Canada, UK, France, Germany, Israel etc. We received thousands of emails and letters – most of them encouraging and moving. In the center pages of this issue we present a selection of those as well as a press review. Many have already taken the initiative and subscribed to the Jewish Voice. Subscribers encouraged us to update our website. Now it is possible to subscribe to our newspaper quickly and easily. “User-friendly” as the saying goes. We are especially thankful for your loyal support. For the first issue, all the advertisers took out ads without even seeing our paper. They put their faith in our approach. We are grateful for that. All this is related to the renaissance of German Jewry and the interest in the cultural and social revival of the German Jewish community. Here, at the JVG we see ourselves as a link between you and German Jewish life. Your confidence is an incentive for us to report to the best of our ability about politics, the economy, culture and religion – and not only with regard to the German Jewish aspect.
