Now this is interesting: Jewsweek magazine, long been bowed down to by us and many others as the leading online Jewish magazine, is no more. That’s not to say there aren’t a barrelfull of interesting articles on its front page today, but it’s got a new, yet strangely familiar look.
Frontman Benyamin Cohen has moved on and the site has been taken over (in the kindest possible sense) by Reuven Koret, the man behind israelinsider.com, jewishcontent.org and “Israel’s Story In Maps” (whose map we did not not use without permission. Or something like that.) Koret, has merged the magazine with the Jewcy brand, and will launch a new site in the coming weeks that incorporates Jewish news with cheeky t-shirts and pink thongs. Brilliant, we have to say.

We wish we had more, but the weather’s just too delightful to be sittin’ in front of this box even one minute longer. We wish you all a good Shabbos and a summery weekend!
jewcy is becoming a 500 pound gorilla in the jewish world. Now we can truly say we have a jewish media.
