After going through a succession of owners it was purchased in 1984 by its then-editor, Matt Bellan, along with his brother Bernie, and the paper's then-advertising manager, Gail Frankel.

In August 2007, the newspaper changed its publication schedule from weekly to bi-weekly.

He then donated the newspaper to the Gwen Secter Creative Living Centre.

The Jewish Post was also in rivalry with Der Yiddishe Vorte (also known as The Israelite Press), a Yiddish-language daily that started in 1911 that after many years was published as a weekly.

Rivalry continued as The Israelite Press reverted to a weekly half-English, half-Yiddish weekly in the early post-Second World War years, finally ceasing publication in 1976.
