	Heeb Magazine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Heeb is a Jewish magazine aimed at young intellectual Jews.
		The name of the magazine is a variation of the anti-Semitic ethnic slur hebe.
		The magazine was founded by activist Jennifer Bleyer, then a graduate student at the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism, and backed financially by Steven Spielberg and Charles Bronfman.

		The magazine billing itself as "The New Jew Review" launched on February 5 with fanfare and controversy surrounding the use of an ethnic slur as the title.
		If Heeb is to be more than a blip on the cultural radar, the staff needs to work on giving the magazine more substance.
		For all the talk of being a young Jewish magazine, Heeb's boldness is rooted in old traditions.

	Founder of 'Hip to be Heeb' magazine speaks to students - News
		Spielberg was questioned as to why he funded a magazine that would use an ethnic slur as their title.
		While people were disputing whether the name of the magazine was appropriate or not, Bleyer appeared on "The Howard Stern Show" and CNN's "TalkBack Live." She explained that it wasn't an act of anti-defamation but just a way of communicating to the younger Jewish generation.
		Since the magazine was getting a lot of controversy because of the name, people were anticipating the publication of their first magazine to see what all the hype was about.

		The debut of Heeb Magazine last August was met with wild outcries in the meta-media.
		Meanwhile, the founders of Heeb got busy putting together the first issue of what they hoped would simply be a smart, funny publication for "cool Jews and their friends." Issue #1 featured a Neil Diamond centerfold and a photo spread on the Jewfro phenomenon, alongside profiles of MC Paul Barman and Peaches.
		Heeb's publisher/editor is Jennifer Bleyer, a 27-year-old writer who was awarded a fellowship by the Joshua Venture, a well-funded organization dedicated to seeding the social entrepreneurship of young Jews.

	Coming, Heeb, for hip young Jews
		That's hardly much money, when it comes to launching a magazine, but Bleyer says she's going to launch Heeb as a three-times-a-year publication, which will allow her breaks between issues to sell advertising and raise more money from investors.
		Heeb’s editors include Bleyer, who put out punk-rock zines during her teens, Michael Schiller, who heads a video production company that produces media packages for Universal Records artists, and Nancy Schwartzman, to a grant writer at the Foundation for Jewish Culture.
		Heeb will feature stories on such eccentric Jews as rapper MC Paul Barman, "dyke painter" Nicole Eisenman, and Peaches, a Berlin-based performance artist with a penchant for crooning about oral sex.

		When new magazines are trying to generate buzz, a strong mission statement and a stellar roster of contributors seldom beats the irresistible allure of controversy and connections.
		Although visually slicker than most 'zines, Heeb is, for the most part, refreshingly guileless and earnest, clearly the work of twentysomethings devoted to turning likeminded people on to stuff that they and their friends think is cool.
		At this point, Heeb's philosophy doesn't seem to extend much beyond thinking that Judaism is cool, but the magazine's breezy, enjoyable debut issue suggests that that might just be all the philosophy it needs.

		And Heeb is feverishly attempting to stay afloat, as the hasty departure of Ms.
		Although, to be certain, a fringe publication of limited interest even to its intended demographic, the magazine’s contents speak to a contempt for ethnicity and religion among a certain strain of young Jewish Americans.

		All traces of the solemnity and sadness of Holocaust Remembrance Day were gone by nightfall when the gang from New York-based Heeb Magazine threw their first West Coast party at the Hollywood-and-Vine hotspot Deep.
		Heeb and "The Believer" may not be such strange bedfellows — both have garnered attention touting radical Jews on the fringes.
		As Heeb works out the kinks on an upcoming book deal and issue No. 4 in September, Neuman explained why he believes the magazine continues to fluff its ever-expanding subscription base, currently at 2,500.

		"Heeb is a special subset of the genus Jew," explained Joshua Neuman, 31, the new editor-in-chief and only paid staffer of Heeb magazine, a hipper-than-thou take on modern Jewish identity.
		Rejecting Heeb is like saying "the Beatles were bad for today’s youth when they appeared on the Ed Sullivan show," said Roger Bennett, vice president of the Andrea and Charles Bronfman Philanthropies, whose network of young philanthropists, Natan, gave Heeb a $20,000 grant last month.
		Heeb, which publishes twice a year, has maintained a circulation of roughly 20,000, but Neuman estimated that its readership has reached 90,000.

	mediabistro.com: Articles: So What Do You Do, Josh Neuman?
		After all, when a magazine aiming to capture a younger, hipper, Jewish audience announces its plan to appropriate a long-standing anti-Semitic slur as its new, look-how-cool-we-are name, there are bound to be some ruffled feathers.
		Heeb was started with a grant from the Joshua Venture Fellowship, which Jennifer Bleyer, the original editor, received as a young Jewish entrepreneur.
		When you really manage to tap into that fanatic Heeb reader outside the demographic, like grandparents who are writing to us, or Irish people who are writing to us and saying that they have always dated Jews, or people in Kansas, or a kid that found Heeb in a mall in Houston—it's really overwhelming.

		Heeb: The New Jew Review, a magazine that is gaining popularity with every issue, targets Jews in their 20s and 30s who may not see themselves as being religiously observant, but still feel a connection to being Jewish.
		But because Heeb veers in a different direction than mainstream Jewish press, he has received criticism from Jews with all kinds of political concerns.
		With his magazine, he hopes to engage as many Jews as he can, but doesn’t want to force the religion onto his readers.

		Heeb may be in your face, but editors Josh Neuman ’94 and Shana Liebman ’96 are reaching young urban Jews the ADL has given up on.
		Neuman boasts that Heeb is “an idol-smashing magazine” with a strong ideological commitment to “Groucho Marxism.” But he isn’t referring to the nudity or even to the oddly compelling advertisements that conjure up fond memories of eighth-grade lunchroom humor.
		The magazine is avowedly left-wing and Zionist—a rare combination these days—and more devoted than its editors might admit to a tradition of serious intellectual inquiry.

	Heeb, alas, a fine idea
		Founded by Jennifer Bleyer, a 26-year-old Columbia graduate, Heeb is being touted as the new hot magazine for non-religious, culturally affiliated Jews in their twenties and thirties who lead avant garde lifestyles.

		Heeb was launched with a $60,000 grant from the Joshua Venture, a foundation funded in part by Steven Spielberg and the Bronfman family that aims to support young, entrepreneurial, and Jewish ventures.

		The magazine is a Jewish pop-culture magazine that is targeted at young Jews in their 20s and 30s.
		The magazine is termed by Neuman as "post modern playfulness." This starts with the name as it reclaims a slur.
		The magazine was started in 2002 by a female journalist who also wrote a Jewish punk rock zine called "Mazel Tov Cocktail." While the editorial staff has changed, Neuman thinks they have stayed true to their original vision.

		The latter has the size of a mass-market magazine that aims to hit the middlebrow audience where it lives, while alternately giving Jewish hipsters a few laughs at the expense of their more staid co-religionists.
		Heeb's philosophy - if one can use such a word in relation to such a phenomenon - has more to do with attitude.
		Heeb's editors definitely aren't out to make any of their readers more Jewish, in the traditional sense of getting them to go to synagogue more regularly or to learn Hebrew or keep kosher.

	Heeb Film Festival
		Armed with poisoned pen and some duct tape, Heeb Magazine was brewed in Brooklyn in 2001 as a take-no-prisoners zine for the plugged-in and preached-out.
		Still wreaking havoc with unflinching coverage of arts, culture and politics, Heeb has evolved into a critically acclaimed lifestyle magazine and the self-anointed voice of young Jews today.
		Now a multi-armed media monster, Heeb reaches hundreds of thousands of readers worldwide who look to it as the unholy gospel of the smart, funny and absurd.

		Now old Abe has turned his attentions to Heeb, which is a counter-culture, street-based magazine for young Jews.
		The pictures are edgy and subversive in a deliciously sexual and political matter and in the legacy of all good protest art.

		Bleyer emphasized the practical terms of calling the magazine Heeb: "Oh, come on–didn’t you hear it and say, ‘I have to write about this for The Observer’?" she asked over brunch.
		Informed of Heeb, Marcy Brink, who studies Jewish culture as an anthropology grad student at Stanford, said: "I definitely would pick it up." But she sounded skeptical, noting that a previous hip Jewish magazine, Davka, didn’t last long.

		What they like about the magazine, most Heeb readers attest, is precisely what their parents might hate about it: irreverence, cheekiness, daring.
		Heeb, she said, has succeeded in reaching her in a way that the mainstream Jewish press, which she describes as a bland melange of calendar listings and religious news snippets, has failed.

	Heeb Debut Issue
		The magazine is slated to be stocked next month by Barnes and Noble, Borders books and Tower Records, along with major independent bookstores across the country, Bleyer said.
		Bleyer said she is confident the magazine will take off outside New York, where "so many Jews feel isolated from their local Jewish federations and are so hungry for something they can connect to," she said.
		The magazine was started a year ago with a $60,000 seed grant from the Joshua Venture Fellowship, which encourages young Jews to pursue community-building, entrepreneurial projects.

		It’s a new take on Gamboa’s city, and the latest in a wave of magazines geared to Latino and Asian readers who are as comfortable with sashimi as they are with salsa and who want magazines that reflect their experience both as Americans and ethnic minorities.

		The magazine’s editor Oscar Garza, formerly of the Los Angeles Times, sees it like this: The new publication is like an intersection in the heart of Los Angeles, where cafe-and-club-heavy Sunset Boulevard becomes Cesar Chavez Boulevard, heading deep into the city’s Hispanic east side.

		Jennifer Bleyer, the 26-year-old editor of Heeb, a magazine aimed at young Jewish hipsters, once boasted that it's easy to come up with story ideas for her editorial mix—because she can find a Jewish connection to almost anything.
		Heeb's 80-page second issue, published last month, lays out exactly why Lieberman's a dickhead: Because as senior member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, he has pushed for a huge spike in military spending.
		Heeb's seed money came from a $60,000, two-year grant Bleyer was awarded by Joshua Venture fellowship program, partially funded by Steven Spielberg, which encourages young Jewish entrepreneurs.

		It took about a year and a half for me to get my magazine going—to procure funding, cobble together a volunteer staff, set up a little office in my apartment, solicit and edit content, and find a designer who would work for nothing.

		A heeb is really a archaic, derogatory term for Jew that I don't think anybody has heard used in the derogatory sense really in the past 50 years.
		I think that "Heeb" magazine is shooting themselves in the foot by insulting the very people they are targeting.
		BLEYER: Where this magazine is coming from is the one of most long-standing traditions in Jewish culture, which is fighting for the economic and social and racial justice of all people, and in evidence in that article about Orthodox Jews coming out of the closet.
