The Jüdische Zeitung was an independent Jewish monthly newspaper in German from Werner Media Berlin, which appeared between September 2005 and August 2014. The addressee of the monthly , printed in Rhenish format , was the German-speaking Jewish community as well as all those interested in Judaism and Jewish questions.

With an initial circulation of 39,000 copies in September 2005, the Jüdische Zeitung was more than twice as popular as the weekly Jüdische Allgemeine published by the Central Council of Jews in Germany and on page one distanced itself from the Central Council's claim to sole representation. In the early years she devoted a lot of space to small liberal Jewish communities that were not represented in the Central Council.

The high initial circulation could not be maintained: While in 2007 a circulation of 36,000 copies was given, the newspaper appeared temporarily only as an online edition in 2009 and in 2010 with a circulation of 7,300 copies. The figures are based on the publisher's information , the Jüdische Zeitung was not recorded by the information community for determining the distribution of advertising media (IVW).

In October 2014, the Werner Media publisher filed for bankruptcy and the Jüdische Zeitung was discontinued.

The Jüdische Zeitung was published by the same publisher as the Russian- language Evreiskaya Gazeta , which had been produced since 2002 and aimed at Russian-speaking Jews. Occasionally, articles in translation appeared in parallel in the Russian Evreiskaya Gazeta and in the Jüdische Zeitung. However, the Jüdische Zeitung was an independent medium with a critical view of Jewish issues that covered a broad spectrum of opinion - from atheist to ultra-orthodox, from left-liberal to right-wing conservative, from anti-Zionist to ultra-Zionist.
