While proudly Jewish, Zionist and American, The Jewish Star (under the banner of “Honest Reporting, Torah-True”) strives to present an honest picture. The newsroom is committed to integrity and professionalism; our editor has more than 40 years of experience in both secular and Jewish community journalism.

Reporting and writing experience (professional or scholastic), the ability to work under deadline pressure, an acquaintance with Jewish issues, and familiarity with web conventions and posting to social media.

Salary

Starting at $36,400 to $39,520, plus a full benefits package that includes medical, dental, 401(k) and paid Jewish as well as secular holidays.
