Jewish Ideas Daily
Jewish Ideas Daily is a website which reports on news, culture and political issues relating to Judaism and Israel.[1] Its mission is to be "the premier aggregator and originator of Jewish ideas on the web".[2] It was founded in January 2010 under the editorship of Neal Kozodoy.[3] Jewish Ideas Daily is "sister" publication to the Jewish Review of Books.[4]
Until December 2012, Jewish Ideas Daily was edited by Margot Lurie. As of December 2012, the editor is Suzanne Garment.[2]
In addition to original articles, and reviews of scholarly Jewish books, Jewish Ideas Daily also includes five "daily picks", linking to external articles,[5] and podcasts on the weekly Torah portion by Michael Carasik. Original essays published in Jewish Ideas Daily often appear in The Jerusalem Post. A box highlighting Jewish Ideas Daily content appears daily on many Jewish websites, including that of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency.
Jewish Ideas Daily has drawn notice for controversial features including one accusing Christopher Hitchens of antisemitism[6] and the public resignation of one of Peter Beinart's bloggers from the "Open Zion/Zion Square" blog.[7]
John Podhoretz describes Jewish Ideas Daily as "a peerless examination of intellectual, political, and cultural trends in Jewish life".[3] According to British journalist Daniel Johnson, "Jewish Ideas Daily is among many manifestations of new intellectual life in the American Jewish world—a world that has always been marked by intensity and enlightenment".[8]
