With the appearance of this enlarged edition, the Jewish Daily Bulletin enters upon a new phase. In addition to transmitting the world’s Jewish news, it will publish news letters and articles giving a comprehensive description of Jewish events as well as editorial comment, and will contain such other departments as book and theatrical reviews, photographs, cartoons, and other features, which together, will make the Bulletin thorough, accurate, entertaining.
The enlarged Sunday edition makes its appearance at a moment when a comprehensive survey of the problems with which the Jewish community is confronted has become an imperative need.
The Jewish Daily Bulletin will continue to report impartially, concisely and authentically all Jewish news. It will be independent. It will not propagate any particular theory or tendency.

It will endeavor to be the bulwark against the many disintegrating influences which work upon the Jewish community. It will give wholehearted support to the promulgation of Jewish educational activities and of those movements which tend to intensify Jewish cohesion and solidarity, such as the efforts to bring relief to Jews in other countries suffering from political persecution or economic ills, as well as to the great task of creating a Jewish National Home in Palestine.
