Philip Jay is doing his bit to boost Hong Kong's Jewish community.

Two years ago, he launched the Jewish Times Asia - credited as Asia's first Jewish newspaper. He has recently launched the paper's online version, www.jewishtimesasia.org, in an attempt to raise the profile of Hong Kong's Jewish communities. He edits both editions.

"The Jewish communities of Asia have historically been very low-profile, with little communication across the Jews living, working and visiting Asia," Mr Jay, 45, tells People. "The plan of the paper - and website - is to provide a platform for communities to tell each other what's going on."
