Jewcy’s Return

By Allison Gaudet Yarrow November 1, 2010

Jewcy, the online magazine appealing to young Jews, relaunched today with a nice-looking website and some fresh content.

The nonprofit cousin of JDub records maintains its robust music and books coverage, but has added sections for news, food, social justice and family and features an events calendar, which is certainly needed in the Jewish webiverse.

Some noteworthy posts:

• Judd Apatow’s public service announcement for American Jewish World Service featuring known non-Jews Lindsey Lohan, Tracy Morgan and Sir Patrick Stewart and a few Jews like Jerry Seinfeld and Sarah Silverman.

• A JDate with Jon Stewart. Or his avatar. For that Washington thing he did. It’s so Monday already.

• An interview with Will Schneider, the director of pioneering Jewish philanthropy, Slingshot.

Welcome back, Jewcy.

A message from our CEO & publisher Rachel Fishman Feddersen

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward’s award-winning, nonprofit journalism during this critical time.

The coming year promises to be filled with more complex and historic developments. We are entering an era where independent, fact-based Jewish journalism will be more important than ever. We need to be ready for whatever 2025 will bring, and with your help, we can be.

We’ve set a goal to raise $260,000 by December 31. That’s an ambitious goal, but one that will give us the resources we need to invest in the high quality news, opinion, analysis and cultural coverage that isn’t available anywhere else.

If you feel inspired to make an impact, now is the time to give something back. Join us as a member at your most generous level.
