Moment is an independent magazine which focuses on the life of the American Jewish community. It is not tied to any particular Jewish movement or ideology.[2] The publication features investigative stories[3] and cultural criticism, highlighting the thoughts and opinions of diverse scholars, writers, artists and policymakers.[4][5][6] Moment was founded in 1975, by Nobel Prize laureate Elie Wiesel and Jewish activist Leonard Fein,[7] who served as the magazine's first editor from 1975 to 1987. In its premier issue, Fein wrote that the magazine would include diverse opinions "of no single ideological position, save of course, for a commitment to Jewish life."[8] Hershel Shanks served as the editor from 1987 to 2004.[9] In 2004, Nadine Epstein took over as editor and executive publisher of Moment.[10][11]

The magazine was named in honor of an independent Yiddish-language newspaper, entitled Der Moment.[12][13][14] Founded in Warsaw in 1910, Der Moment remained in operation until the eve of Yom Kippur 1939, when the building housing the newspaper was destroyed by a German bomb. At the time, the publication was one of two Yiddish-language newspapers in the city.[1][15]

Moment magazine is an independent journal that publishes articles on Jewish culture, politics, and religion.[12] Its editorial staff, writers, and articles represent a diverse range of political views.[1][13] Moment publishes a print magazine once every other month, maintains a website,[16] runs literary contests, and hosts events. The magazine is a publishing project of the Washington D.C.-based Center for Creative Change.

Moment's recent stable of contributors include fiction writer Naomi Ragen;[17] academics Fania Oz-Salzberger[18] and Marshall Breger;[19] journalists Shmuel Rosner,[20] Gershom Gorenberg,[21] Amy E. Schwartz[22] and Emmy Award winner Letty Cottin Pogrebin;[23] and critics Robert Siegel[24] and Carlin Romano.[25] Past contributors have included Calvin Trillin, Chaim Potok, Isaac Bashevis Singer, Abba Eban, Cynthia Ozick, Wolf Blitzer, Yossi Klein Halevi, Theodore Bikel, Jerome Groopman, Ron Rosenbaum, Sherwin Nuland, Erica Jong, Dara Horn, David Margolick, and Rebecca Goldstein.[26]
