Moment is an American Jewish magazine. It publishes articles related to Jewish culture, lifestyle, politics, and religion. Moment is not affiliated with any Jewish organization or religious movement, and its articles and columnists represent a diverse range of political views.

Moment was founded in 1975 by Elie Wiesel and Leonard Fein. It was named for Der Moment, an independent Jewish newspaper that was published in Warsaw, Poland, between 1910 and 1939. Moment's editors have included Leonard Fein (1975–1987), Hershel Shanks (1987–2004), and since 2004, Nadine Epstein.

Moment co-sponsors the annual Moment-Karma Short Fiction Contest. It also sponsors a social action writing contest for high school students and a book review contest for young readers.

[edit] History

In 1975 Elie Wiesel and Leonard Fein founded Moment to be "The New Magazine for America's Jew." In its first issue, Moment stated that it was going to include diverse opinions "of no single ideological position, save of course, for a commitment to Jewish life."

Moment was re-launched in 2004 by its current editor and publisher, Nadine Epstein.
