Trending and Emerging
- Empathy and Interpersonal Relationships:

Declining or Waning
- Psychoanalysis and Judaism:
Earlier publications featured a strong emphasis on psychoanalysis and its intersections with Jewish thought. However, there appears to be a waning focus on this area, as recent issues prioritize other themes such as dialogical ethics and cultural identity. - Traditional Religious Text Analysis:
The analysis of traditional religious texts, while still present, has seen a decrease in frequency. The journal is increasingly leaning towards contemporary interpretations and dialogues rather than classical exegesis. - Historical Narratives of Anti-Semitism:
