Reader —
At last, we have arrived at the height of long summer days!
I don’t know about you, but one of my favorite ways to spend a summer afternoon is working on a crossword. I love to be challenged, and something about a good puzzle is just that ideal combination of relaxing and engaging.
If you’re like me and looking for a perfect, challenging activity to fill your hot afternoons, the Forverts has you covered! In addition to being the only daily online source of news about the Yiddish language and culture, we also publish crossword puzzles in Yiddish — something you won’t find anywhere else. And because it’s online, you can instantly check to see if the word you wrote is the correct one! Our Yiddish crossword buildson our Yiddish Word of the Day series, which are both great ways to share Yiddish phrases with your friends and family.
Celebrate our Yiddish features and make a donation to support the Forverts. You’ll honor the legacy of our parents and grandparents and keep Yiddish relevant, accessible, and fun. I love the Yiddish word of the day, and my daughters love it as well. It is great and hilarious. I especially adore the Yiddish expressions...I always learn something from it. A shaynem dank! — Jacqueline O. These puzzles are just one example of the ways that the Forverts is keeping American Jewish history alive and thriving in a unique way that no other publication can.
