The Journal of Modern Jewish Studies is interdisciplinary, covering history, social studies, religion, thought, literature and  the arts. It encourages work from younger scholars at the start of their academic careers, as well as welcoming contributions from established and senior scholars. Each issue of the journal comprises research papers and reviews and review essays of scholarship in Jewish Studies. From time to time, an edition of the journal will focus on a particular topic. Each paper submitted to the Journal of Modern Jewish Studies is peer-reviewed.

The scope of the Journal of Modern Jewish Studies has now been extended to include the early modern period, that is, from the 16th century to the present time.

“What distinguishes the Journal of Modern Jewish Studies from other Jewish studies journals is that it is quite broad in scope and that it boldly tackles controversial themes andissues. Anyone interested in the most up-to-date debates in the field will not be able to ignore this young Jewish Studies journal.”

“As a new editor of a journal, I can now see just how much effort, talent, and ingenuity Glenda Abramson puts into the Journal of Modern Jewish Studies, and can' help but admire the results. Has rapidly become a vital part of the field.”

“The Journal of Modern Jewish Studies has distinguished itself as a high-quality and academically rigorous meeting ground for interdisciplinary, innovative and contemporary research on different aspects and dimensions of the modern Jewish experience.”
Maoz Azaryahu, University of Haifa

“The Journal of Modern Jewish Studies contains articles on unique and interesting facets of Jewish and Israeli life not found in other publications. At the same time, it maintains high standards through the employment of innovative and up-to-date comparative and interdisciplinary methodology. It contributes not only to the study of Judaism and Israeli society, but also to the theoretical understanding of collective memory, political cultural, citizen/state relations, social communication and other topics which head the contemporary agenda of the social sciences and humanities. On this account, I recommend this journal not only as a forum for the understanding of Judaism and Israel, but also as an original intellectual arena for political scientists, sociologists and students and researchers of culture. Here they will find interesting theoretical ideas on Israeli society and Jewish life.”
Udi Lebel Ben Gurion Research Institute at Sde Boker, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev
