We’re back from our summer break and we hope you had a sweet new year 🍏🍯 Read Editor-in-Chief Jessica Kirzane's welcome back message at the link in our bio!

“At In geveb we know that Yiddish words, and all the critical, interpretive, scholarly, and creative work our contributors create around them, are something to long for, to await, and to bring to life, as a matter of urgency and a matter of the heart. It is with faith in the word that we welcome you to another publishing year.” 🦚

Gut yontif! September is a moment of transition and new beginnings. Here at In geveb we welcome the start of the Jewish year and the commencement of our new publishing year–set to begin as the High Holidays conclude. Our work has always been 1) online-only and 2) free for all without a subscription (and without the institutional barriers that limit access to most scholarly journals). This means the support of readers like you remains critical, and your potential gift has immediate effect. The generosity of our readers–regardless of donation size– keeps In geveb free for students, contingent faculty, and any Yiddish-curious person who connects to the world of Yiddish language and culture through our work.

We hope you will consider making a gift (of any amount) in support of In geveb this holiday season. Your gift allows us to compensate the editors, translators, and contributors who make In geveb the internet’s home for Yiddish Studies. 🦚

Thank you again for your support, your contribution, and--most of all--for reading. We are so excited to make 5787 another year of incredible Yiddish scholarship!

We are officially on our summer break 🦚 Read Editor-in-Chief Jessica Kirzane's reflection--and see you in the fall!

"We often talk about the scholarship, essays, and translations that we publish as offering a “window” into the world(s) of Yiddish, an entry point and a vantage point through which our readers can’t necessarily touch Yiddish’s lived experiences — after all In geveb can only be accessed as words on a screen — but can catch a glimpse of it. Through the mundanity of rectangle boxes, through these “grey blocks of longing” as Vogel describes, our readers can experience a range of ways of thinking, feeling, and understanding Yiddish language and culture(s)."

In geveb is an open-access digital forum for the publication of peer-reviewed academic articles, the translation and annotation of Yiddish texts, the exchange of pedagogical materials, and a blog of Yiddish cultural life.
