Dear Reader,

This year I’m celebrating my 25th year at the Forverts. I began as a reporter in 1998 when the office was still on East 33rd Street. (It’s a hotel now.) A lot has changed since I first arrived, but one thing remains the same:


Our commitment to sharing our rich Yiddish heritage.


The Forverts ensures that Yiddishkeit stays relevant and vital — now and for future generations. Not only do we have a 127-year Yiddish archive to draw from but we’re bringing you the mame-loshn on the web, with Yiddish Wordle and Yiddish Word of the Day videos to help you connect with and explore this vibrant, living language.

Sharing stories in English and Yiddish about the language and culture of Jews with Eastern European heritage allows us to keep these rich traditions alive, so that they’re never forgotten or erased. Every day, I get to engage with Yiddish enthusiasts in person and online, and they often express their appreciation for our daily Yiddish content.


Become a member today and invest in the preservation of the Yiddish language, keeping it relevant for future generations. Invest in Yiddishkeit and ensure the Forverts can continue its legacy.

Sincerely,
