The Moment Mission

Moment Magazine, dedicated to serious, highly-literate, intellectual journalism, provides the American Jewish community and other readers with a much needed independent forum that is not tied to any organization or point-of-view. Moment strives to counteract anti-Semitism, and encourage constructive, meaningful discussion about Jewish history, life and future.

What Makes Moment Different?

So you’re wondering what makes Moment different from all other Jewish magazines? Good question. Most magazines that report about the world from a Jewish perspective are eager to tell you what to think. These publications are either published by an organization motivated by an agenda or led by a person with strong opinions who wants to influence you. At Moment, we’re independent and fiercely devoted to bringing you only the highest quality journalism. We want you to give you the facts—in context—so you can make up your own mind. In an era, where the Jewish community (and the world) is pulling in a million different directions, Moment brings us together—and celebrates our diversity.

What our readers say about us:

“More than anything else I read, Moment illuminates the issues of our Jewish moment in time. It is irreverent and willing to take on the difficult subjects that impact us.”  

“What I love about Moment is that it tells me we are all in the same boat, even if we have different oars.”

”At a time when so much of the Jewish community is pulling in different directions, with Moment I am reminded of the fascination of being Jewish.”  

“Moment is my way to connect Jewishly. I don’t belong to a synagogue, but yet Moment makes me feel part of the Jewish community.”  

“Thank goodness there is a place where Conservative, Reform, Orthodox, Reconstructionist, humanist and secular Jews can all be part of the same Jewish community. Moment is equally interesting no matter what kind of Jew you are.”  

”This year I gave Moment as a gift to all of the young Jews important to me.  It is a way for them to read interesting modern Jewish ideas and discussions even if they are not otherwise connected with Jewish community.”

”I always enjoy reading Moment, even when I disagree with it.”

“Moment makes me proud to be Jewish.”

“I love the fact that Moment is independent. I really appreciate reading a spectrum of political opinions and understanding where other Jews are coming from.”

“Moment doesn’t pander, doesn’t pretend to be ‘hip’ and is never shlockey. This well written magazine tells the story like it is.”

”What a beautiful magazine!”
