The Kansas City Jewish Chronicle—the voice of Jewish Kansas City since 1920—is proud to provide access to our complete archive—more than 100 years of content—in a digital, searchable format. We are grateful to the Kansas City Jewish Community Digital Archive for its partnership in making this possible. The Kansas City Jewish Community Digital Archive contains historical documents and images related to congregations, Jewish organizations and other areas of Jewish life, including content from the Jewish Community Archives of Greater Kansas City.
From its inception, The Chronicle has covered the diverse events of the times, from the Holocaust and Israeli-Arab wars to local celebrations such as the opening of the Hyman Brand Hebrew Academy in 1966 and the opening of the Jewish Community Campus in 1988. We encourage you to browse, search and explore the archive, and welcome your feedback.

Pop in those AirPods and listen in your car, while grocery shopping, during a brief coffee break or before bed—and get to know the members of our Kansas City Jewish community.
On August 26, 2021, The Kansas City Jewish Chronicle transitioned to a hybrid print/digital model. In this model, the Chronicle is printed every other week. In the weeks when there is not a print newspaper, subscribers will receive an email newsletter linking back here, to the website.
