According to Jewish tradition, we Jews were led out of Egypt because we kept three things intact: our names, our clothing and our language.
Since the everyday language of Eastern European Jewry for the past thousand years was Yiddish, we continue that tradition by sharing Yiddish music, news reports, essays and cooking demos with our readers every day.
This is actually the first Peysakh when all our Yiddish and English content is completely free and available to everyone. And that is entirely possible thanks to the support of our members.
As Peysakh — a holiday filled with age-old traditions — approaches, we hope you’ll support the Forverts and help keep it free and available to all by making a generous gift today. |
