Jewish news feeds from Jewish sources
Why is it important to get Jewish news from Jewish sources?
It's a matter of perspective. In addition to whatever other media you get your news about Jewish events from, it's good to add Jewish news media to the mix for balance and for depth that general or secular media can't aim for.
This is especially the case with news from Israel. The Israeli media is quite vigorous - a very free press, indeed! - and by visiting Jewish Feeds, you'll find a variety of sources that cover Israel and the Jewish world in a depth and balance that you won't find elsewhere.
So, make your Jewish Internet experience more Jewish by starting here at Jewish Feeds.
Here are some of the top stories today at Jewish Feeds. For more Jewish and Israeli news and other feeds (that's "web sites that publish Jewish or Israeli XML/RSS feeds"), click the category links at the bottom of the page. And enjoy noshing at Jewish Feeds.

Moses tells the people of Israel how he begged HaShem to allow him to enter the land of Israel, but HaShem refused, instructing him instead to ascend a mountain and see the Promised Land. Moses describes the Exodus from Egypt and the Giving of the Torah, declaring them unprecedented events in human history. Moses says that future generations of people will turn away from HaShem, worship idols, and be exiled from their land and scattered amongst the nations; but from there they will seek HaShem, and return to obey His commandments. This Parshah also includes a repetition of the Ten Commandments, and the verses of the Shema which declare the fundamentals of the Jewish faith -- the unity of HaShem, the mitzvot to love HaShem, study His Torah, and bind "these words" as tefillin on our arms and heads, and inscribe them in the mezuzot affixed on the door posts of our homes. >  |
