O

n Tuesday, June 20, 
the JN’s website might 
have looked a bit dif-
ferent to our frequent visitors. 
The JN moved to a new online 
platform specifically designed 
for news to 
create a better 
online expe-
rience for our 
readers.
The revamped 
website offers 
improved navi-
gation, making 
it easier than 
ever to find the information 
you need, regardless of wheth-
er you’re using a desktop, tablet 
or mobile device — a wel-
comed feature when most of 
our website visits are now done 
from a mobile device. 

One of the standout fea-
tures of the new website is the 
enhanced search function. 
Unlike the previous limit-
ed version, our new search 
tool allows readers to search 
by keywords, select specific 
dates, and even filter results by 
content type, such as articles, 
images or videos. In addition 
to the new search feature, we 
also updated the layout of sec-
tions to help our readers find 
the content they enjoy most.
The new update also intro-
duces the Event Calendar, an 
app integrated into our web-
site. This calendar empowers 
users to post and manage 
their events. Simply create an 
account, and you can easily 
add events, upload images and 
edit details as necessary. While 

adding events to our calendar 
remains free, we now offer the 
option to promote events for 
greater visibility. 
Last but certainly not least, 
we are most excited to unveil 
our Text-To-Speech option, 
available on all articles. 
Whether you’re too busy to 
read or have visual impair-
ments, simply click play, and 
our articles will be read aloud, 
making the ability to stay 
informed and engaged with 
the latest content from the JN 
easier than ever. 
 Visit our new website at 
thejewishnews.com and check 
out the revamped layout, 
visually appealing design and 
the array of exciting features 
we now offer to readers of the 
Jewish News!

In-Person 
Program at 
Zekelman 
Holocaust 
Center

Head to the Zekelman 
Holocaust Center on 
Tuesday, July 11, at 7 p.m. 
for “Never Again: Germans 
and Genocide After the 
Holocaust.” 
Looking beyond well-in-
tentioned statements and 
monuments, acclaimed 
scholar Andrew I. Port 
Ph.D. will discuss how the 
Holocaust shaped German 
responses to genocides in 
other countries after 1945. 
A professor of history at 
Wayne State University and 
the author of several books 
about modern Germany, 
genocide and Holocaust 
memory, Dr. Port will high-
light how foreign atrocities 
recast Germany’s under-
standing of its horrific his-
tory. 
Registration is required 
for this free in-person-on-
ly event as space is limit-
ed. Register at the website 
www.holocaustcenter.org. 
Refreshments will be served.
