Rachelle and Ben-Gurion Matsas
The owners and staff of IMAGE Magazine would like to thank the whole community, our writers, our advertisers, and especially you, the reader. It is your life and concerns we wish to print, and your love and support we depend on. We are dedicated to cooperating with our leaders and working for the benefit of our community. Thank you for the privilege of allowing us into your lives.
Since 1990, IMAGE Magazine has been successfully serving the Jewish communities in New York, New Jersey and Florida with a special focus on the Jewish Sephardic community. To date, our readership exceeds well over 250,000 and is constantly expanding.
The magazine promotes educational, social and cultural programs to ensure the survival of the Jewish Sephardic heritage and customs. IMAGE works closely with rabbis, politicians, organizations, yeshivahs, and community leaders and members to make available important information to the community at large.
Jack, Michael, Leslie and Steven Matsas
Ultimately, as the community becomes more organized and visible, it attains benefits from political and government social services. We believe in respect, tolerance and unity. Our beliefs flow into the essence of the magazine. We include all facets of our diverse community in the magazine.
The first issue in 1990, originally titled Sephardic Network, contained only 24 pages. Since then it has grown substantially. The title changed to Jewish IMAGE Magazine and is available online at www.Imageusa.com. The website features community news, information, a business directory and classified section.
The magazine is not just for the Sephardic community. A massive readership also exists in the general Jewish communities.
“We bring the whole Jewish community together, that is the purpose of our magazine,” added Rachelle.
IMAGE covers the Jewish community's news, local events, organization events and every other major event in your lives. It offers educational, informative and historical articles for everyone: young people, teenagers, married couples, families and the elderly.
The whole Matsas family
Our family has grown, our community has grown and the magazine has grown as well. IMAGE has aged and matured, taking on new and broader responsibilities.
“I am proud of what my children and grandchildren have accomplished working together at IMAGE Magazine,” said Laura Fallas, Rachelle's mother and the family matriarch.
IMAGE publishes in New York, New Jersey and Florida. Readers in all three states can enjoy stories about their respective communities.
In life, we always strive to improve, and IMAGE Magazine is no different. Since 1990, we at IMAGE have proudly served our readers and advertisers as the voice of the Jewish Sephardic community. We strive to show our readers and customers our appreciation, and we are proud to present our magazine, now in full glossy paper.
With G-d's help much work and dedication, our magazine has grown in volume through the years and we are glad to finally catch up in terms of clarity and overall appearance. In this manner, IMAGE can offer the highest quality presentation to our advertisers and the most pleasurable reading experience.
Our clients become a part of IMAGE's ever-growing promotions, including the monthly IMAGE Magazine and our online business directory, available at www.Imageusa.com. We provide our clients with a greater opportunity to profit from our expertise in advertising and promotion.

Just as our family is the foundation for IMAGE Magazine, so too is the magazine a piece of bedrock in the foundation of the Jewish Sephardic community. And yet the community is the foundation for the family! Such is the beautiful circle of life.
“It is a constant source of joy to be told wherever we go that people love our publication,” said Rachelle Matsas. “The words of encouragement and advice over the years helped form the magazine into the fine publication that it has become.”
