Joods Actueel (Jewish Current) is a Belgian monthly newspaper, owned and operated by the Freilich family and published in Dutch. It informs readers of news related to Jewish life in Flanders, Belgium, and elsewhere in the world. Joods Actueel was founded in January 2007 as successor to the Belgisch-Israëlitisch Weekblad (Belgian-Israelite Weekly). The newspaper is run by Michael Freilich and his mother Terry Davids.

In 2008 it confronted several Belgian stand-up comics and television producers for "trivialising" Adolf Hitler in a cooking show featuring his favorite dish.[1] It has been accused of using hate speech by Dr. Marc Van Ranst after this person invented the term "Gazacaust".[2]
