In true JR style, we’re kicking off a year of 20th anniversary celebrations with a bang. We’ve invited award-winning Mancunian author Howard Jacobson, who penned the intro to our anniversary book, Age of Confidence: The New Jewish Culture Wave. He will be joined by New York novelist Shalom Auslander, who’s written a controversial essay for our upcoming winter issue. The pair will discuss their lives, work and the ever-evolving trends in Jewish culture. We will also take an in-depth look at our new autumn issue of the magazine.

In celebration of our 20th anniversary, we’ve launched our first book, Age of Confidence: The New Jewish Culture Wave, which comprises five essays by experts in their fields that cover Jewish culture over the last two decades in a period that spans the attacks on New York’s Twin Towers in 2001 to the challenges of creating culture under Covid today. Interspersed with the essays are a series of archive pieces from past magazines, ranging from Mike Leigh on Arnold Wesker to Linda Grant on Saul Bellow, plus an introduction by Howard Jacobson.
