    1. Are there really Yiddush newspapers currently in print that are hundreds of pages long?

    2. Are they daily newspapers?

    3. Do people recycle them after reading? Or do they leave them at a barber’s shop, bus stop, coffee shop or etc locations for others to read (including home)?

    4. Are Yiddush newspapers heavier than regular newspapers?

    Thank you!

    Yiddish Newpapers are generally weeklies not dalies.

    The Main ones are Der Yid and Der Tsitung which are Chassidish newpapers and the Forvitz which is secular socialist newspaper

    There are about a dozen Yiddish weekly papers in the US, with a number of them larger than 100 pages.

    There are still secular Jews who read Yiddish newspapers?

    Maybe there are still secular Jews that speak Yiddish ?

    Do people have them at home then? The weekly paper? Or take out the sections to read portions at a time? Generally speaking.

    Maybe I can order one on EBAY or something. I want to see one IRL. So interesting.

    Thank you

    The YIVO is secular yiddish language institute with many archives of yiddish literature, they have a cultural institue called the folksbiene where they perform classic yiddish songs and plays

    Lightbrite: not quite the “real” thing, but you should be able to get Der Yid via email, although I don’t know the email address to subscribe.

    And if the mods will allow, there are some pages of a section of di Tzeitung (not the news portion) available online.

    edit

    Make sure to click on the LEFT side to turn the pages when starting on the first page.

    BTW

    If you are interested in real Yiddish songs , you might want to look up Oyfn Pripetshik (The Warm Hearth) , You might recoginize it from Schinderls List, Another popular secualr yiddish song is Bei Mir Bistu Shein

    Sorry about that. This new system is truly Purim’dig…

    In any case LB, google is your friend, and correct spelling matters.
