The Jewish Chronicle in an attempt to stabilise dropping readership has implemented the service as an add-on to those who subscribe either by post or through their newsagent.
When it works well, then it is a good service, but when it doesn't, well, the Jewish Chronicle can come across as being very obscene at times, even though of course, such words were never printed in the first place, but it's scanning technique of pages has resulted in many errors and mistakes.
If the Jewish Chronicle does that and improves the overall accessibility of the service, then they could be onto a winner, but as it stands now, it looks more like a product that is in the early stages of a beta test.

Twice in the last few months, features have appeared in the Jewish Chronicle in which readers are invited to visit websites that promote messianic Judaism.

 Being Jewish in a Barbie world
An additional conflict between Jewish culture, in which food plays a central role, and the general culture, which advocates the ideal of thinness, creates a compounded vulnerability for Jewish women, according to Nye.
She says one aspect in Jewish culture that is helpful is the emphasis on knowledge and excelling in scholastic settings, rather than on the athletic field.
There often is an "enmeshment" in the Jewish family, she says, where one member, usually a child, feels pressured to be a reflection of the others.

The Jewish Chronicle has been slammed for its reporting on the appointment of media mogul Richard Desmond to president of children's and family welfare charity Norwood.
In a front page story and editorial, the Jewish Chronicle attacked the decision of Norwood to have Desmond as its next president succeeding automobile industry magnate Sir Trevor Chinn.
Supporters feel that the Jewish Chronicle was attempting to create its own controversy in an attempt to raise its own profile by undermining Desmond.

 Points of Jew: Not so "Jewish" Chronicle   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Messianic Judaism is overt in its cynical abuse of Jewish dogma and doctrine and in its voracious exploitation of Judaism represents, par excellence, the ultimate expropriation of Jewish doctrine and custom to fit the arbitrary dictates of Christian tenets of faith.
There are many, many Jewish victims of this cult: Victims recruited simply for their statistical significance and in utter contempt of their worth as human beings in order to fulfill the self-fulfilling prophesy of the End Times when all Jews will return to Israel.
That the Jewish Chronicle is so crass as to toy with such a dangerous, damaging and ruthless cult is beyond credence.

 what's with jewish comedy?- San Diego Jewish Journal
Jewish humor is a sensibility, and a lot of comics, both Jewish and non-Jewish, have taken on that Jewish sensibility.”
One criticism that’s often cited is the fact that, despite ostensibly possessing Jewish attributes, other than the show’s namesake none of the key players are identified as being Jewish.
There used to be all these Jewish comedians whose comedy was a way to overcome their Judaism and be accepted.

Senitt emerged as an eloquent spokesman for Britain’s Jews and on behalf of Israel as chairman of the Union of Jewish Students in the early part of the decade, a time when the intifada was raging and Israel was taking a drubbing in British public opinion.
Most of all, he told the Jewish Chronicle in 2003, he loved nurturing a sense of belonging among his fellow Jewish students.
His concerns did not stop with the Jewish community: He was founding director of the Co-Existence Trust, which enlists Jewish and Muslim parliamentarians to speak out against anti-Semitism and Islamophobia and provides a forum for moderate leaders.

I don’t think the variety and the heroic aspect of Jewish thinking is portrayed or evoked or transmitted in the Hebrew schools, the day schools, the seminaries, the yeshivas or the synagogue, and that is a pity.

 Jewish Interactive Studies - Jewish Chronicle
While you can pluck all sorts of articles, lectures and homilies from the multitude of Judaica sites which which have colonised cyberspace, what is special about this one is that it offers structured, on-line courses in English over a series of weeks, along with interactive questions and answers.
The simplicity of its title is matched by its format: it is easy to get around and its promise, “No prior Jewish education background necessary,” shows its hospitality to Judaic, as well as technological, novices.
The Jewish Interactive Studies (JIS) courses are largely free (though there are plans to charge a nominal $20 fee for some in future).

 The Jewish Chronicle and the Occident.
He speaks of our habit; which we have in common with other Jewish editors, of treating all professed converts from their ranks as sheer impostors, and thinks that the exceedingly loose and indiscriminate style constantly indulged in on this subject, is quite as unworthy of our good sense as it is repugnant to charity.
Well, we really do not know that we have said much in the Occident at least concerning the converted Jews; we know of two instances only that their names were accidentally mentioned, and we have endeavoured to avoid speaking of them altogether so far as this was possible.
If the editor of the Chronicle will only analyze the reports in the London Intelligence, he will find that the material obtained in Poland and Germany, nay, even in Palestine, is not of the best kind; hence we reiterate that such exertions are rewarded by but small results.

 The Good Samaritan: Jewish Praise for Pope Pius XII by Dimitri Cavalli
In praising Cardinal Pacelli's election, the Jewish Chronicle in London on March 10, quoted an anti-Nazi speech he delivered in Lourdes in April 1935 and the hostile statements expressed about him in the Nazi press.
Certainly, such statements made by Jewish newspapers and organizations show they considered the newly elected Pope Pius XII a friend of democracy and peace, and an enemy of racism and totalitarianism.
In his 1942 Christmas message, the Pope condemned the treatment of "hundreds of thousands who, without any fault on their own, sometimes only by reason of their nationality or race, are marked down for death or a progressive extinction." The Pope's defenders argue that this was a clear reference to the Holocaust.

Because I am Jewish, however, and feel a sense of personal responsibility for the Jewish side of this ongoing tragedy, I cannot be silent about the instrumental role that Israel is playing in keeping the region inflamed and dangerous to all of its inhabitants.
Non-Jews who decide to embrace the Jewish community and raise their children as Jewish are making a significant personal choice; they are choosing to sacrifice the passing on of their own religion for the sake of their partner’s religion, and for the sake of the Jewish community at large.
Many Jewish youths are denied this trip because they already went on a peer trip to Israel, which was paid for by their parents or for other rational reasons.

The Jewish population of Elizabethgrad is reckoned at about 10,000 persons and more than half their houses are completely ruined.
Other reports represent the matter in a much less serious light, and declare that there was no need of calling in the military, as the strength of the police was adequate to cope with the disturbance.

Adler replied by earnestly dissuading them from holding such procession, adding that the synagogue was open to them but that he could not permit a place of worship to be made the scene of any "demonstration." Dr. Adler informed them that he would preach in the Great Synagogue on the 16th February.
The reception accorded them was of a mixed character, and was made up, for the most part of the jeers of the onlookers, and the deep expressions of dissatisfaction and disgust of the Jewish residents in the neighbourhood at the flagrant desecration of the Sabbath.

By ince this year marks the 350th anniversary of the return of the Jews to England, it seems a propitious time to mention that England’s Jewish Chronicle newspaper came online last month, allowing researchers to search all back issues by word or phrase, over any range of years from 1841 to the present.
Based in London, the Chronicle is the oldest Anglo-Jewish paper in the world that is still publishing.
Here, for example, is the start of the Chronicle’s very astute review of Son of a Smaller Hero, the first novel by Mordecai Richler that was worthy of serious critical attention.
