Dear Reader,

For Jews around the world, the High Holiday season provides an opportunity to reflect on the year we’re leaving behind. And this past year has been a devastating one.

In this difficult time, we at Jewish Currents have strived to provide rigorous analysis, in-depth reporting, and moral clarity to our readership. We’ve been grateful that our work has resonated with so many—a response reflected in the growth of our audience, which has more than tripled.

Will you make a High Holiday gift this year to help build an alternative Jewish future? Contribute today and your donation will be matched by a generous donor, ensuring that Jewish Currents can thrive in the year to come.

That growth is exciting. It also brings new demands. Every week readers ask whether we might consider expanding in one direction or another—publishing more stories, hosting more podcasts, planning more events.

But for a nonprofit media outlet committed to making our work accessible, an increase in audience doesn’t translate into an increase in capacity. Our subscriptions and membership together cover just 20% of our budget. The rest of it comes from individual contributions from supporters who believe our work matters—people like you.

That’s why we’re so glad to announce that this High Holiday season, all contributions will be matched. Thanks to a generous supporter, if you contribute to Jewish Currents today, every dollar you give will be doubled.

Can you support Jewish Currents this High Holiday season? If our work has mattered to you over this past year, make a gift today, ensuring we can grow in the year to come.

Your contribution will directly support writers and editors, and allow us to plan events in person around the country and online.

May the coming weeks bring space for reflection—and may the coming year bring more justice, and more peace.

In solidarity,
Daniel May
