The Journal of Modern Jewish Studies is internationally recognized and covers several disciplines including history, social studies, religion, thought, literature and the arts, from the early modern period to the present day. Published four times a year, it welcomes contributions from established and senior scholars, as well as encouraging work from younger scholars at the start of their academic careers. Each issue of the journal comprises research papers and reviews of scholarship in Jewish Studies. The journal has established an annual essay prize for scholars in the early stages of their careers.
The Journal of Modern Jewish Studies has wide regional coverage and chronological range. A collection of articles taken from a number of issues has been published as a book, Sites of Jewish Memory: Jews in and from Islamic Lands (2014).

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’t help but admire the results. It 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.”
