The St. Louis Jewish Light is a weekly Jewish newspaper distributed in St. Louis, Missouri, that was established in 1947.[2][3] It is located at 6 Millstone Campus, St. Louis.[3] It is a constituent agency of the Jewish Federation of St. Louis, and has an independent board of directors.[3][4]

History

The first issue was published in 1947.[5] In 1977, it was considered the major Jewish newspaper in St. Louis.[6] In 1988, it was cited as one of the more notable Anglo-Jewish newspapers.[7]

In 2004, its editorial board approved accepting same-sex commitment announcements in the newspaper, by a vote of 9-7.[8] Orthodox board members, joined by some non-Orthodox members, opposed publication of the announcements.[8]
