Publishers’ Message When we first decided to launch Oregon Jewish Life almost 2 years ago, we spent a great deal of time meeting with community leaders, as well as unaffiliated and affiliated members of the Jewish community. We felt that in order to be an effective addition to the community it was imperative for us to understand the community needs, interests and goals and where we could have the most impact. The following mission statement evolved from those meetings: OREGON JEWISH LIFE MISSION STATEMENT Give a voice to, and communicate with, ALL segments of the Jewish community through media that speaks to them: a contemporary magazine format, engaging articles, online content, newsletters, community calendars and social media. Facilitate dialogue and be a vehicle for organizations, congregations and businesses to educate the community about their services and events. Provide outreach to all members of our Jewish community through free magazine subscriptions and distribution, community events and user-friendly online and social media. Provide human interest stories on Israel. To be a unifying force and a community builder that celebrates the vitality, diversity, challenges and accomplishments of the Jewish community of Oregon. As a company and a media representative of the Jewish community, we can assure you that we take your feedback, advice and support to heart. We appreciate the way the community took us under their wing in the beginning, and celebrated us throughout. We take special pride in the fact that our subscriptions have grown substantially since the beginning and we reach more than 35,000 readers each month. And now we are introducing our first annual 2013-2014 Resource Guide, including our own calendar specifically designed for the Jewish community of Oregon. Keep your eye out for our new Jewish Life Directory Network companion website that launches in September. We have always felt that if we support the community, all will benefit. We hope that we all continue to thrive together. Wishing you and yours a healthy and happy year.
