Southern Jewish Life magazine, which has covered the Jewish communities of the Deep South for over three decades, announced that it will be expanding with a new online edition covering the rest of the South.
Starting with August 2023, Southern Jewish Life Regional will be an online edition of SJL that covers the region from Virginia and Kentucky in the north, to East Texas in the west, the Carolinas and Georgia in the east, and northern Florida to the South — North Florida, but the part of Florida that is Southern. It will be available by subscription, and there will also be an option to access individual issues online.
“For years, people have asked us when we will start covering North Carolina, Tennessee, Arkansas and the like,” said Publisher/Editor Larry Brook. “We had always envisioned this as a region-wide publication, but changes in the industry changed the vision. Now, with the regional edition as an online entity by subscription, we can offer the magazine to more communities, and undertake a broader range of stories.”
The online version is also meant to supplement the monthly print editions in the previous core coverage area of Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and the Florida panhandle. The Deep South and New Orleans versions will continue to be mailed to the communities in those areas, and readers in those areas will be encouraged to also subscribe to the regional edition, which will contain additional content not found in the print versions.
