Abstract This study examines the emergence and development of the Jewish student press in North America between 1967-1970, analyzing the socio-political factors that catalyzed this phenomenon and its role in fostering Jewish consciousness among young people. The methodology involves content analysis of major publications and examination of editorial policies, circulation patterns, and thematic concerns. The research identifies two primary catalysts for this movement: the shift from universalism to particularism in the civil rights movement, which left many Jewish students politically displaced, and the 1967 Six Day War, which awakened Jewish identity through community response rather than the conflict itself. The study analyzes four major publications—Jewish Liberation Journal, The Other Stand, Genesis 2, and The Jewish Radical—alongside numerous smaller regional papers, documenting a combined circulation of 350,000 monthly copies by 1970. Key findings reveal that these publications addressed themes of Jewish survival, Israeli politics, Soviet Jewry, critique of Jewish institutional priorities, and tensions between Jewish identity and radical politics. The papers demonstrated remarkable editorial independence despite financial support from Jewish establishment organizations, suggesting institutional tolerance for Jewish student activism when expressed through Jewish frameworks. The research concludes that this press movement represents a significant shift toward decentralized, locally-controlled Jewish cultural expression, moving away from bureaucratized organizational Judaism toward authentic community-based discourse that promises to sustain Jewish consciousness among North American youth.
