A Steady Partnership

In 1989, the Berliners tore down the wall which divided their city since 1961. The longest remaining stretch now serves as an open-air art gallery.

Our Values

The Jewish Voice from Germany is reporting on the varied aspects of German-Jewish life. The newspaper does this in accordance with our values: humanity, democracy, responsibility. The decisive source of humanity is the biblical command to love thy neighbor. This principle is shared by Jews and Christians alike. The election of a new Pope is therefore of great interest for us. As the head of a congregation of more than one billion Catholics, which understanding of religion and which picture of humanity guide Francis?

Rome is not only the seat of the Vatican, but it is also the capital of Italy. The results of the last Italian elections have prompted the JVG to contribute a critical commentary. The majority of citizens either did not participate in the election or else voted for parties which refuse to accept political responsibility. JVG’s reporting begins with the individual and his/her aims. It is not limited to Jewish matters. Societies, businesses and states are composed of sometimes competing interests. Their interaction is the core of our analyses.

In the interview with the leading SPD parliamentarian, Frank-Walter Steinmeier, we have tried to not only learn of his stance toward Judaism, to Israel and its government, but were also interested in the policies of the German Social Democrats, the oldest democratic party in Europe, and about its strategy for the election to the Bundestag this coming autumn.

Economic expert Roland Tichy focuses on the plans for a possible transatlantic free-trade zone. He does not foresee rapid results. One-time Federal Chancellery Minister and current Chair of the Management Board at Germany’s Association of Energy, Hildegard Müller, discusses the ramifications of energy-change policy in Germany.

The fact that our advertisers are increasingly tailoring their ads to our readership and that corporations are distributing thousands of copies of the Jewish Voice from Germany to their respective business networks proves that our work is continuing to pay off.
