The Jewish Chronicle, which was founded in 1841, will this week publish its 7,000th issue.
It will be marking its birthday with an overview of its history and reportage with a feature article which will open on the front page. It is the oldest Jewish paper in the world and the fourth-oldest weekly in Britain.
It has recorded the forming of the United Synagogue and the Chief Rabbinate; the treatment of Jewish refugees from the East in the late 1800s; the first anti-asylum laws in 1905 and poverty in the East End.
