The new issue of the Jewish Quarterly is out this week. From the Palestinian Declaration of Independence to competitive cheesemongering in New York, and from Stephen Sondheim to The Wire, the Jewish Quarterly looks hard at the ideas behind the issues.Redesigned by award-winning designer, Mark Leeds, our new design expresses our playful seriousness in graphic elegance - as shown by Noma Bar's brilliant cover illustration. Our design is new but our content remains, as ever, wildly thoughtful and utterly readable.
In this issue:
The Palestinian Declaration of Independence: How Palestine is Becoming the New Israel
Happy Ever After: Has Stephen Sondheim Destroyed the American Musical?
The Wire - HBO's Hit Drama Bypasses Individualism to Expose the Systems that Fail Urban America.
Cry Freedom - How Yiddish Became the Language of the Left
The Many Battles of Cable Street; The Changing Face of London’s East End.
Plus:

For nearly 60 years, the Jewish Quarterly has explored Jewishness in the most unexpected of places.
