SAPIR is published by the Maimonides Fund, and its editor-in-chief is The New York Times columnist Bret Stephens. SAPIR publicly launched in March 2021 and released its first issue in April.[2] SAPIR's launch was amidst a rise between 2021 and 2023 of journals across the ideological spectrum related to the Jewish experience, including by left-leaning T'ruah.[3][4]
On April 1, 2023, the Maimonides Fund launched the SAPIR Institute, an in-house organ to turn the ideas generated by the journal into future plans of action. The institute is led by Chanan Weissman, former White House Jewish Liaison.[5]
