JEWISH EXPONENT

Dear Advertisers and Readers:
e Jewish Exponent, the second oldest continuously published Jewish newspaper in the U.S.,

hasn’t missed a single issue since its founding in 1887, and we intend to keep that streak alive.
As we face a global pandemic that has changed the way we live and work, our pledge to bring
you meaningful and relevant news stories, along with local and reputable advertising, has not
wavered.
I am extremely proud of the work that the Jewish Exponent sta is producing under new and
unfamiliar circumstances. Some of us are facing the challenges of working from home for the

rst time while others have had to up their IT game. One thing we are all doing is making the
safety and health of our community our rst priority.
In all this uncertainty, I want to reassure you that one thing remains unchanged: our commit-
ment to you, our faithful advertisers and readers.

ere’s a special bond between the Jewish Exponent and the members of this community. Many
of you have been reading us for decades, as part of a family tradition. But we also have many
new, younger readers who enjoy the wide range of content we deliver both in print and online at
jewishexponent.com.
Our online audience has grown 20,000 per month over the past year, and we couldn’t have done
that without you.
Either way, print or digital, the Jewish Exponent is here for you. You know you can rely on us,
and we know we can rely on you. We will do everything we can to keep it that way — today, next
week, for as long as it takes to get through this together.
Stay safe, and thank you for your loyalty.

sion questions. The event was
