Reviving the Jewish Quarterly in 2021, Morry Schwartz has stated his intention to incorporate Sontag’s original vision for the publication, namely, bringing the spirit of the East European Jewish intellectual to the UK. Yet at the same time, while maintaining its British roots, the revived JQ will be comprised of international contributions; it will be internationally accessible, current and contemporary. |
|||
From 2021 onwards, each issue The Jewish Quarterly has a theme, with at least half of the contributors adhering to that theme. |

When asked about his inspiration for reviving JQ, Schwartz could summarise his myriad reasons and explanations in one simple line: |

In 1974, Sonntag described the Jewish Quarterly:[2]
If I were asked how I envisaged The Jewish Quarterly when I started it more than twenty years ago, I would say that it was to cultivate literary journalism in the best tradition of Central and Eastern Europe and, in particular, in the best tradition of Eastern European Jewish writing ... I belong to the generation which looked for a synthesis between our Jewishness and our Europeanism, between our nationalism and our socialism, between the particular and the universal ... Part of our upbringing was to revere the printed word, to adorn it with a power of its own. How could truth and reason not prevail'? It was just a question of finding the right word, the right combination of words, and everything else would follow from it. Literature was a living thing for us, and the world of books knew no boundaries. We cherished the illusion that "you have only to will it and your dreams would cease to be fairy tales' ... We felt as a collective, we had a sense of community, we felt called upon to add a link to the 'golden chain', handed to us by an earlier generation.
— Jacob Sonntag
