70 years after the Shoah, Jewish life once again has a future in Germany. Since 2012, the English language JewishVoiceFromGermany has been bringing German-Jewish life in all its diversity to readers around the world. Israeli immigration to Berlin, art projects, and memorials are all included as well as travel reports, religious questions and Middle East politics. The JewishVoiceFromGermany draws from a panel of experts for in-depth articles on economics and the business climate in Germany, Europe, Israel and the U.S which also feature alongside insightful political commentaries tackling issues in Israel, Jewish German relations, and other events of global significance or which offer a peek into contemporary German and German-Jewish society. With tens of thousands of readers in North America, the founder and editor Rafael Seligmann has succeeded in building bridges from Berlin to Washington D.C., Toronto, Chicago, Haifa, New York, Sydney, London, San Francisco and beyond. The warm and positive reception received by the JewishVoiceFromGermany in the United Kingdom, America, Israel, and in German-speaking Europe shows that the JewishVoiceFromGermany is on the pulse of current events.

70 Jahre nach der Schoa hat das Judentum in Deutschland wieder eine Zukunft. Die englischsprachige „Jewish Voice from Germany“ vermittelt seit 2012 vier Mal jährlich ein Bild vom jüdischen Leben in seiner ganzen Vielfalt. Der Zuzug von Israelis nach Berlin, Kunstprojekte und Gedenkkultur sind dabei ebenso Themen wie Reiseberichte, religiöse Fragestellungen oder die deutsche Nahost-Politik. Dazu kommen Wirtschaftsanalysen und politische Kommentare, die Einblicke in die deutsche Gesellschaft geben. Mit zehntausenden Lesern in den USA gelingt dem Herausgeber Rafael Seligmann so ein transatlantischer Brückenschlag. Die große Resonanz in Nordamerika, Israel, Großbritannien und auch im deutschsprachigen Raum beweist: die „Jewish Voice from Germany“ ist am Puls der Zeit.
