“East End Jews presents a range of writers... Some might be known to students of British Jewish history, and others obscure even to them... Among the contributors are six women, who seem, if the collection is any indication, to have occupied a more prominent place in the field in its later years.”

"East End Jews, as the subtitle indicates, is an anthology of brief articles from Yiddish newspapers and magazines published in Britain...The well-translated articles...serve as an introduction to the social and cultural history of life in the Jewish East End."

There is still time to make a gift in honor of the High Holidays. We will resume publishing on the other side of Yom Kippur, and look forward to another year of meaningful work and connection.

G’mar chatimah tovah.

Gut yontif! Fall is a time of transition and new beginnings. Here at In geveb we welcome both the start of the Jewish year and the commencement of our publishing year. 2025/5786 holds particular meaning for us this High Holiday season: we have officially been publishing for ten years as of August!

In geveb endeavors to be more than just an academic journal: we are a publication for all engaged with Yidishkayt (broadly construed). Our work has always been 1) online-only and 2) free for all without a subscription (and without the barriers that limit access to most scholarly journals).
