Jewish media is broken. Vashti exists to change that.

We launched in 2019 to break the enforced communal consensus and create a space for the Jewish left. Since then, we’ve published over 80,000 words reporting on striking workers and dodgy communal leaders, reviving forgotten rituals and reviewing the latest in Jewish culture.
