A Word From The Publisher

The Philadelphia Jewish Voice is almost a year old. How we have grown over the last year! Read this month's interview of Philadelphia Jewish Voice's Vice-President Charles Smolover for some of the history of our paper.

Please Support The Philadelphia Jewish Voice

Contributions to the Philadelphia Jewish Voice are now tax deductible to the fullest extent of the law.  We are now recognized by the IRS as a 501(c)3 non-profit entity, so your donations are now tax-deductible! 

While we are committed to making our online newspaper freely available, producing a professional product costs money. Comparable publications cost $36 or $40 per year, so please show your support. 

As a thank you gift, on request, we will send you a Philadelphia Jewish Voice bumper sticker, or set up a pjvoice.com email address for your personal use. (Email addresses can be full POP3 accounts or simply forward email to an email account you already use.)
