About us

The Cape Jewish Chronicle is a monthly print and digital publication that focuses on the Cape Town Jewish Community. The print edition arrives in most Jewish homes in the city in the first week of every month. The website is updated when the print edition goes to post. A voluntary subscription of R450 per year is requested to help cover costs.

The Chronicle includes local organisational and social news (including family announcements and photographs of simchas), editorial material, commentary on local and international issues and stories of interest. Advertising includes both commercial and classifieds.

If you live in Cape Town and do not receive our print edition, please contact the CJC office: 021 464 6736 (09h00-13h00)
