Thanks to the support of readers like you, In geveb….
- ...fosters important new scholarly conversations. From a clarion call to stop using Shmuel Charney’s pen name, to a special issue on religious thought in Yiddish, In geveb publishes top-quality peer-reviewed articles and book reviews. What’s more, as an open-access journal, our peer-reviewed academic content remains accessible to scholars without institutional affiliations.

- ...builds a home for budding Yiddishists and inclusive yidishkayt. In 2019, graduate and undergraduate students authored nearly half of In geveb’s blog content, and the majority of our editorial staff and board are students or independent translators. We also launched a partnership with the feminist Yiddish-language podcast Vaybertaytsh, including a forthcoming series of Vaybertaytsh pedagogy guides.

- ...champions Yiddish in the digital age. This year, we offered a teaching guide to erotic Yiddish poetry and guidelines for transliterating Yiddish in scholarly citations. Always experimenting with how Yiddish can live on the internet, we launched a new series to bring to light archival treasures and held our first loyt di studentn poll to learn from Yiddish students as well as teachers.

We can’t do any of this without your support. In geveb is committed to compensating contributors for our translation, blog, and pedagogy sections to enact our values of equitable and inclusive scholarship. We exist because of readers like you. Please consider continuing to build a home for Yiddish studies with a gift of $18 — or whatever amount makes sense for you — today.
