Jewish Federation of Greater MetroWest NJ
and had a circulation of 32,000.
[3]
In July 2020,
The Jewish Week
suspended publication of its weekly print publication,
[4]
[5]
and in January 2021 was acquired by
70 Faces Media
, publisher of the
Jewish Telegraphic Agency
and other Jewish brands.

Each year The Jewish Week published "36 Under 36," honoring younger New Yorkers making a difference in Jewish philanthropy, education, the arts, religion and social action.

In 2016,
The Jewish Week
became a finalist for awards in two categories by the Deadline Club, the New York City chapter of the
Society of Professional Journalists
, for its series on the battle to improve secular education in chasidic schools. The series was done in partnership with WNYC.
[15]
[16]
In 2000, Rosenblatt and the newspaper won the
Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism
from the
Journalism Center on Children & Families
for the story "Stolen Innocence", an investigative report that uncovered allegations of decades of child abuse by a youth movement leader and high school principal,
Baruch Lanner
. The story was criticized by some in the
Orthodox
community for being "
malicious gossip
".
[17]
Lanner and other officials of the Orthodox Group were forced to resign. Lanner was convicted of child sexual abuse in 2002.
