Azure: Ideas for the Jewish Nation (Hebrew : תכלת , Techelet ) was a quarterly journal published 1996–2012 by the Shalem Center in Jerusalem , Israel . Azure published new writing on issues relating to Jewish thought and identity , Zionism , and the State of Israel . It was published in both Hebrew and English , allowing for the exchange of ideas between Israelis and Jews worldwide.[1]
Azure was established in 1996 and was originally published twice a year, but grew into a quarterly. The journal's founding editor-in-chief was Ofir Haivry ,[2] followed by Daniel Polisar [he ] [3] and David Hazony .[4] Assaf Sagiv was editor in chief [5] [6] from 2007 to 2012.
The journal published Hebrew translations of classic essays by authors such as Immanuel Kant , David Hume , William James , G. K. Chesterton , Martin Luther King Jr. , C. S. Lewis , Alasdair MacIntyre , Winston Churchill , Matthew Arnold , and Leo Strauss .
The emphasis of the journal was on strengthening Jewish and Zionist values. It was highly critical of post-national and radical trends in academia,[7] opposed judicial activism in the Israeli legal system,[8] and supported free-market reforms in the Israeli economy.
The publication ceased operations with the Autumn issue, no. 46, alerting its subscribers to this fact mid-2012. According to the letter sent to its subscribers, "circumstances and resources no longer enable [the magazine] to continue publication."
