About Us

 

The Jewish Observer is the ONLY Jewish newspaper covering Middle Tennessee. It is published monthly by the Jewish Federation and Jewish Foundation of Nashville and Middle Tennessee. You’ll find news of our local congregations and Jewish organizations, interviews with interesting people as well as lifecycle events. But it doesn’t stop there. There is news of the national and international Jewish communities and, of course, about Israel. Look for special Jewish holiday issues and the annual Simchas/Celebrations, Health & Beauty, and Dining Out special sections.

 

Our annual Guide to Jewish Nashville is the only comprehensive listing, including contact information, of all the congregations and Jewish organizations in Middle Tennessee. It serves as a handy reference all year long.

 

To submit an article, to get on the mailing list, or for more information, contact the editor at editor@jewishnashville.org. The paper is mailed free to all members of the Middle Tennessee Jewish community. A subscription is available for a small fee to those who live outside the area.
