READERS' COMMENTS
A fascinating magazine, always beautifully produced and a pleasure to
read. It has opened my eyes to the condition of Jews in corners of the
world that I never knew they inhabited! and to a wealth of cultural events
in London and in the regions.
Baroness Ruth Deech
I keep meeting people who enthuse about JR for both its design and content.
And I'm full of admiration every quarter.
Sir Arnold Wesker
Read your latest issue cover to cover. Pretty damn good show. I've much
enjoyed it. I was pleased to be up there with the rest of 'em. Congratulations.
Janet Suzman
When it comes through the letterbox I think, ‘There’s my
best friend’.
Ann Rau-Dawes
Jewish Renaissance is far and away the best magazine on Jewish culture
I have seen, really well laid out with a wide range of articles.
Hazzan Jack Kessler, Golden Medina Music, Philadelphia
I read your magazine right the way through. Then I read it again. It
is that good.
Allen Bordoley
It's great to see pleasure spreading over someone's face when they are
first introduced to your mag... I still get it every time...
Joe Mankowitz
I really love your publication - it is of such high quality and always
contains articles in which I am greatly interested. It is one of the best
publications I know. I love the style. I love the content. I think you
really capture the spirit of the diverse communities you feature. I read
it from cover to cover.
Dr Ralph Kohn
Congratulations on your magazine. It's a breath of fresh air!
Jeremy Newmark, Jewish Leadership Council
Your magazine is amazing. I look forward to it, I wait for it. It’s
truly inspirational. I wished you published it every week.
Karin Elkorchi
It’s the only publication I get regularly that I actually look
forward to opening.

JR is a fantastic vicarious experience, enabling me to visit other cities,
explore with like-minded people, read about society and arts in another
country (UK), all expressed so beautifully by extremely talented writers,
who almost physically take me with them.
Devera Witkin, New York
I LOVE your magazine and it is of great comfort to me whilst living in
Tauranga, New Zealand and being one of only a very few Jews in this city.
Miriam Brown
Thank you for the latest issue of the magazine. It's a real joy to read:
so much news and information that doesn't seem to be available elsewhere;
in-depth commentaries and analysis; and, above all, it makes me feel part
of 'where it's all happening'.
Binnie Yeates
Thank you! You are doing excellent work in keeping Jewish culture visible
and viable in the UK in these troubled times. Thanks for the emails and
you
can count on my continued support.
Tony Coren
I used to be a teacher and then I made a practice of never giving a mark
of more than nine out of 10. But I give 10 out of 10 to Jewish Renaissance.
Jenny Mendel
It is always such a pleasure to receive your "Update". Thank
you so much for giving us this "thrill" while waiting for the
next issue of JR. My first subscription year is coming to an end, but
of course I shall continue to be a faithful reader of your wonderful magazine.
Anna Sala, Florence
Congratulations on an outstanding issue! The depth and breadth of content
are stunning.
Saul Issroff
The whole issue really well edited and JR is destined to become one of
the top international Jewish mags of quality.
Professor Dovid Katz
I want to thank you enormously for your wonderful magazine. I am only
sorry I didn’t know about it before. At last I read clever, clear,
intellectual thoughts and problems many ask themselves. Yes, what is being
Jewish - the language, religion, the land, the people that share your
life and views... The interview you did with Jonathan Freedland is captivating
- I read it several times. Not to speak of
the Qumran scrolls, Chagall, etc. I am full of it, it made me happy. Just
imagine: when your whole life you were denied your culture and history,
the discovery of it is making life meaningful.
Rachel Kostanian, Director, The Vilna Gaon Museum
It’s such a treat to receive each issue of Jewish Renaissance.
Lena Stanley Clamp, Director, Jewish Policy Research Institute
Bravi! I loved all the South Africa stuff, which was interesting, varied,
and well-selected. The Antony Sher interview wonderful (saw Primo when
I was in London). And the Michael Sinclair article on democratic giving
very intriguing. Good art coverage, and altogether good stuff! We don't
really have anything this good in the States.
Tom L. Freudenheim, Washington DC
It’s wonderful. It’s the best thing that has happened (in
the Jewish world) for a long time.
Joanna Mitford
Congratulations on putting together such a lively magazine. This is just
what the Jewish community needs.
Anthony Julius
WOW!!!!!!
I just received the latest edition - What a superb job you did on
the subject of the Jews of China. Again, thanks for the fabulous series
of articles; as always you magazine continues to educate and reveal our
wonderful history.
David Welsh, Calabasas, California
I just got your magazine. It is smashing! The “special” on
Iraqi Jews was so interesting - the different articles centering
on this one topic - the history, music, etc., and even the food!
It is a stunning publication, and certainly a keeper. I had my doubts
that it might be too totally London centered for those of us here in the
US heartland, but that is not the case at all!
............My second issue just arrived -- I am sitting
here immersed in it even though I must get dressed and get on that plane
to Mexico -- this issue is as good as the last! I love it! I try to tell
friends about it -- will keep on doing so -- maybe can get synagogue library
to subscribe -- it's outstanding!
Joan D Levin - Chicago
I was fortunate in acquiring a complimentary copy of the Summer 2003
issue that was being generously handed out at the recent Giora Feidman
recital at Union Chapel, and I was utterly delighted with it. Jewish Renaissance
is extremely well written and presented, beautifully produced and printed,
on excellent quality paper, and its coverage of Jewish culture is very
comprehensive indeed and simply wonderful. Informative, stimulating, and
often thought-provoking, Jewish Renaissance is something that ought to
have been around in the UK for much, much longer. Its mission statement
is a fine and noble one... Jewish Renaissance deserves support and really
should not be allowed to fail.
Richard Sharma, Rainlore's World of Music
I think it's a 'fab' magazine .... I particularly like its inclusive
and non-partisan approach!
Judy Woolfe
It's informative, creative and alive! A real magazine!
Lily Carpenter, widow of the late Edward Carpenter, formerly Dean
of Westminster
It is good to find a magazine which deals with such a wide range of subjects
and presents the arts with such a fresh approach. Simply put, it has panache
and style.
Bernard Gould
We compliment you on the magazine - a really good read, wide-ranging
and informative and visually too most inviting.
Anna and Joseph Horovitz
I think your magazine is excellent. I am not Jewish but I am studying
Theology and Religious Studies at college and I find it most useful. Keep
up the good work.
Shalom
Janet Neilson
I found it very uplifting. Surely the word ‘renaissance’
is very apt to describe the intent of your articles. It exemplifies the
very best within Judaism.
Cynthia Godfrey
I think that more than ever before, the subject of Jewish Renaissance
is of vital importance. In the last few generations the Jewish people
has gone through so many events, developments and changes that many of
us don’t really know where we stand or even, who we are any more.
This is certainly so in Israel, and I would imagine elsewhere in the Diaspora.
It should be a time for regeneration in every aspect of Jewish life.
That’s why your magazine is so important.
Ralph Dobrin, Jerusalem
