How to use this Site
The JTA Digital Archive runs on a Google search platform. As such, the keyword search works much like a search on Google's homepage. Type what you are interested in finding, and hit enter or search. For more options, hit "Refine your Search" and you will be offered more options like date ranges.
For your keyword search to be most effective, there a few things you should consider:
- As this is a closed site, there is a limited range of data which Google can use to learn how to recommend alternate results. So, be mindful of alternate spellings -- especially for proper nouns like people, places and holidays.
- Remember that significant dates or periods in modern Jewish history often did not acquire common names until long after their occurrence. For example, a search for "Holocaust" or "Kristallnacht" will not get you stories contemporaneous to those events.

Holocaust
At no time in history were JTA correspondents more needed that during the 12 long years of the Hitler regime. The JTA often provided the first, and sometimes the only, reports on the unfolding Holocaust. And at no time did its correspondents face more peril to their livelihood and lives. -- an essay by Laurel Leff View Topic
Freedom for Anatoly Shcharansky
One of the most emotional triumphs of the decades-long fight to free Soviet Jewry came on Feb. 12, 1986, the day that Anatoly Shcharansky (known these days as Natan Sharansky) was freed after eight years in Soviet prisons and forced labor camps. View Topic
Women
The role of women in Judaism and Jewish life this past century has shifted and grown. The JTA chronicled those changes, sometimes consciously โas in the case of ongoing coverage of Jewish womenโs organizations โ and sometimes indirectly, with societal shifts indicated through the changing use of language. -- an essay by Sue Fishkoff View Topic
Israel
From Palestine to the founding of the State, through war and calm, observing people and politics, JTA has documented the stories that bring shaper detail and greater dimension to a story that is often only told from a partisan perspective. View Topic
