"[3] The newspaper was the official organ of the Central Jewish Council of Denver, which had been founded in 1912 by community leaders including Rabbi Charles E. H. Kauvar of Beth HaMedrosh Hagodol or BMH (now known as Beth HaMedrosh Hagodol-Beth Joseph, attorney and philanthropist Milton Anfenger, and Dr. Charles David Spivak of the Jewish Consumptives' Relief Society.

[5] According to an essay on the Library of Congress’ “Chronicling America” collection, the Denver Jewish News covered Denver's East Side, consisting mostly of Reform Jews, and the West Side, consisting mostly of Eastern European (predominantly Polish and Russian) Orthodox immigrants.

The earliest editions of the Denver Jewish News,[6] along with the existing editions of the defunct Jewish Outlook,[7] were selected in 2017 as part of a History Colorado grant to be added to the digital Chronicling America collection hosted by the Library of Congress.

[10] In 1943, in the face of ongoing financial strains, the Central Jewish Council approached Max Goldberg, a Denver journalist and ad man, to take over the paper.

[11] Upon his death in 1972, Miriam Harris Goldberg took over as editor and publisher[12] and stayed in the role until her passing in 2017.
