History of Moment

When Elie Wiesel and Leonard Fein founded Moment in 1975, they called it "The New Magazine for America's Jew." In its premier issue Fein proudly declared that Moment would include diverse opinions "of no single ideological position, save of course, for a commitment to Jewish life."

Now, as the largest independent Jewish magazine in North America, Moment is as committed as ever to being an independent forum, in which disparate opinions and ideas are addressed in provocative ways.

You'll always find a wealth of viewpoints that include, but are not limited to, Orthodox, Conservative, Reform, Reconstructionist, secular humanist and the non-affiliated movements, as well as "left," "right" and "center."

Moment is a non-profit organization—The Center for Creative Change, and based in Washington, DC. The editor and executive publisher is Nadine Epstein.
