The Jewish Voice (TJV) is a conservative weekly newspaper based in Brooklyn, New York, that was founded in 2003 as The Sephardic Voice. The Jewish Voice has a pro-Israel editorial outlook. It covers Israeli and American news (the latter focused on New York, and to a lesser extent New Jersey and Florida). The paper describes its mission as "providing our readers with timely and thought-provoking news and opinion, from a pro-American, pro-Israel perspective".[2]
The Jewish Voices founder and publisher is David Ben Hooren.[3] [4] He is a Syrian Jew and a member of the New York Syrian Sephardic Jewish community.[5] OP-ed contributors include such conservative voices as Jerusalem Post columnist and editor Caroline Glick, former UN Ambassador John Bolton, and British journalist Melanie Phillips, among others.

In March 2020, the paper reported 100 positive COVID-19 tests in Hasidic communities located in Borough Park and Williamsburg.[7] The paper urged compliance with mask-wearing, social distancing, and other health guidelines during COVID-19 pandemic in New York City. Hooren reported that many Orthodox Jews felt "singled out" and targeted with the enforcement of the restrictions.[8]
The Jewish Voice primarily focuses on New York City news, society, and culture as well as Israeli news. The newspaper played an instrumental role in the election of Republican Bob Turner for United States Representative for New York's 9th congressional district in 2011.
