Jewish Currents is a progressive, secular Jewish magazine that has been a proud voice for labor, civil rights and the promotion of Yiddish culture. Founded in 1946 as Jewish Life, the magazine was reorganized and re-launched in 1958 as Jewish Currents, with Morris U. Schappes (1907-2004) as its editor, a post he held for four decades.
