Even before the establishment of the state, a number of pioneers and Yiddish writers who immigrated to Palestine, decided in 1928 to publish a Yiddish magazine. The British authorities objected. A regular Yiddish magazine had no place in Palestine, only Hebrew, Arabic and English magazines were approved. The trustees of Yiddish found a trick and decided to publish the magazine “Eyns” (first) independently. After a while, magazine “Tsvey” (second) appeared, followed by “Dray”, “Fir” and “Finf”, until the authorities in the country surrendered and approved the official publication of the Yiddish magazine, and the rest is history. This is how the cornerstone of the creation of Yiddish in Israel was laid, which led to more and more magazines and books published in Jerusalem, Haifa and Tel-Aviv.
