In 2014, the Nevzlin Center entered a joint partnership with the sponsors of the journal, East European Jewish Affairs (EEJA). The journal is published three times a year by Routledge Press, part of the prestigious Taylor & Francis Group, one of the world’s leaders in scholarly journals, books, e-books, and reference works. EEJA is the only periodical dedicated exclusively to the study of the past and present of East European Jewry. This partnership enhances the Center’s ability to promote new scholarship in the international academic community. 

As of 2021, the Center will assume chief publishing responsibility for EEJA, in collaboration with Taylor and Francis. The editorship of the journal will be entrusted to the capable team of Natalia Aleksiun, Ph.D., professor at the Graduate School of Jewish Studies, Touro College, and Karolina Symaniak, Ph.D., assistant professor at the Department of Jewish Studies, the University of Wrocław.  

EEJA’s history: In his day, Steven Roth founded Soviet Jewish Affairs (a Journal on Jewish Problems in the USSR and Eastern Europe) at the Institute of Jewish Affairs in London in 1971. The journal emerged in the early years of the global movement to free Soviet Jewry and focused on contemporary affairs, especially Jewish efforts to emigrate from the Soviet Union and other Eastern European states. Gradually, the journal expanded its field, and grew into the most important scholarly forum that covered a range of issues related to Soviet and East European Jewish communities. Its editors-in-chief included Jack Miller, Chimen Abramsky, Leonard Shapiro and other leading authorities in the field of Soviet Jewish studies.    
In 1992, after the fall of the Soviet Union, Soviet Jewish Affairs became East European Jewish Affairs. Under the editorship of John Klier and Sam Johnson, the journal became a central home for scholars from the former Soviet Union to publish in Jewish Studies.  
Beginning in 2014,  Anna Shternshis (University of Toronto) and the late David Shneer (University of Colorado Boulder) assumed the editorship of East European Jewish Affairs (EEJA), who steered its renewal as the leading journal in the academic field of Jews in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union. 

With the journal’s headquarters moving from England to the United States and Canada, and now to Israel, EEJA is building on its past to become a truly globalized journal. The Nevzlin Center is proud to continue this history.
