Jewish Daily News (Hebrew: חדשות יהודיות יומיות; Yiddish: אידישע טעגליכע נייעס; often abbreviatied to JDN) is a news website for ultra-Orthodox Jews, which is a branch of Orthodox Judaism. The news are censored according to Jewish laws (kosher internet).

In 2008, Naftali Unger, the nephew of the Rabbi Mordechai David Unger, began to distribute photos and videos from events in rabbi courts using email, under the title "JDN – אידישע טעגליכע נייעס". According to him, thousands have signed up to receive his material.

In 2011, the website "News JDN" (Hebrew: חדשות JDN) was founded.[1] Initially, the website collaborated with the owners of the JDN email service, which was popular at the time. However, after some time, they parted ways, with the email service focusing primarily on Hasidic news in the United States, while the website concentrated on ultra-Orthodox and general news in Israel.

In 2020, the website acquired the digital newspaper 'Shacharit' (Hebrew: שחרית).
