Outlook: Canada's Progressive Jewish Magazine is an independent, secular Jewish periodical published six times a year and based in Vancouver, British Columbia. Founded in 1962, as Canadian Jewish Outlook, an English supplement to the Yiddish newspaper The Vochenblatt, the publication has a "socialist-humanist" perspective; it receives support from the United Jewish Peoples Order though it is not formally affiliated with it. Outlook is the only Canadian publication devoted to yiddishkeit, Jewish ethical humanism and Israeli-Palestinian peace and justice issues.
The magazine adopted its current name in 1986. In 1988 The Canadian Jewish Outlook Anthology, a collection of articles, editorials and reviews carried in the magazine during its first twenty-five years was published with Henry Rosenthal and Cathy Berson as editors.
It is currently edited in Vancouver by Carl Rosenberg and Sylvia Friedman.
Famous quotes containing the word outlook:
“Even in ordinary speech we call a person unreasonable whose outlook is narrow, who is conscious of one thing only at a time, and who is consequently the prey of his own caprice, whilst we describe a person as reasonable whose outlook is comprehensive, who is capable of looking at more than one side of a question and of grasping a number of details as parts of a whole.”
—G. Dawes Hicks (1862–1941)
