STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

The Jewish Observer was established in August 1999 in Encino, California. The paper was created to serve as a forum for news information and exchange to assist in the remembrance of Jewish festivals, observances and holidays. Jewish community issues are intertwined with The Jewish Observer and its future success.  The company's aim is to provide investigative news, examine various Jewish cultures, and penetrate Jewish news in a way that provides current news and information while uniting the Jewish community.  It is committed to being a neighbor of choice.

It is a Los Angeles area Jewish community newspaper which gathers its information from personal interviews, other pre-approved broadcast media, Jewish organizations, and other sources to assist in reporting Jewish news through its history, culture, economics, politics, and social life. The paper’s pre-approved archival footage of video-taped interviews, video documentaries, documents, pictures and press releases are a few of the types of sources which validate its news integrity, authenticity and objectivity in reporting Jewish news.

The paper’s objective is to build bridges among Jewry’s various cultures and religious groups living in and around Los Angeles among all age groups.  Join it in discovering the vast Jewish heritage and culture through the Jewish people, some of whom are walking stories from the unspeakable shadows of death to the triumph of Jewish survival.  Help it compile Jewry’s experiences, culture and differences as it explores and uncovers the mystery, the hardship, the heroism, and the faith through this venture, The Jewish Observer.

The Jewish Observer aims to be a Los Angeles paper wherein all Jewry, regardless of nationality and/or religious faction, has input in today’s news, how it is reported and what is disseminated.
