Ohr Chadash (Hebrew for “New Light”) offers “teen news by teen Jews,” and is written, edited, and produced by Jewish teens in grades nine through 12. The inaugural year of Ohr Chadash received an Education and Journalism award from the National Newspaper Association. The teen staff produces a two-page section once a month from September to May. Ohr Chadash also maintains a website, stljewishlight.com/teen. 

Co-Chairs for the 2015-2016 Ohr Chadash will be Peggy Kaplan and Caroline Goldenberg. Ohr Chadash receives generous funding from Michael and Carol Staenberg and the Staenberg Family Foundation, the Kranzberg Family Foundation and the Jewish Light Publisher’s Society.
