History

[edit]

The origins of J. The Jewish News of Northern California date from November 22, 1895, when the San Francisco newspaper The Emanu-El, began publications,[4][5][6][7] In 1932, a merger occurred with a competing Jewish newspaper, the Jewish Journal. In 1946, following a merger, it changed its name to the Jewish Community Bulletin,[8][9][10] in 1979 it was renamed the San Francisco Jewish Bulletin,[11][12] in 1984 it was renamed the Northern California Jewish Bulletin, in 2003 it was renamed j. the Jewish news weekly of Northern California,[2][13][14] and in 2017 it was renamed J. The Jewish News of Northern California.[15]
