Bleyer, who now writes for ''The New York Times'', ended her association with the magazine in 2003. Taking over for her as editor and publisher was Harvard Divinity School graduate Joshua Neuman.

The magazine's subtitle was "The New Jew Review". Highlights ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
