JULY_AUG COVER 2017.indd 1 6/14/17 5:20 PM

Commentary. A major force in American life and letters since 1945.

Commentary. Called “America’s most consequential journal of ideas” by the Washington Post, with a readership that ranges from presidents of the United States (both Republican and Democrat) to CEOs of Fortune 500 companies, from religious leaders to deans of universities.

Commentary. And now with the fastest-growing website in its category. Together, the magazine and the website have engaged several large, interrelated questions: the fate of democracy and of democratic ideas in a world threatened by totalitarian ideologies; the state of American and Western security; the future of the Jews, Judaism, and Jewish culture in Israel, the United States, and around the world; and the preservation of high culture in an age of political correctnessand the collapse of critical standards.

This is what columnist and bestselling author David Brooks has to say:

“Commentary has long been one of the foundation stonesof American political and Jewish thought. It remains that today, but now has added a website that has become essential reading for anyone interested in national affairs. Commentary is now double-barreled.”
