The JC celebrated its 175th anniversary with a reception that saw 300 guests pay tribute to the world's oldest, continuously published, Jewish newspaper.

JC luminaries, including past editors Geoffrey Paul and Ned Temko, mingled with politicians, businessmen and women, communal leaders and rabbinical figures from all denominations of Judaism.
