The World of Yiddish / Di velt fun yidish / haOlam haYidi is devoted to Yiddish language, literature and folklore. Special attention is given Hebrew-Yiddish relations and the generations of bilingual (Hebrew and Yiddish) writers. The site presents classic Yiddish texts, e.g., Yehoyesh's monumental Yiddish translation of the Tanakh (The Hebrew Scriptures); reference and bibliographic materials, e.g., Louis Fridhandler's magisterial guide to the works of Shalom-Aleichem; and, English abstracts of the Hebrew-language Khulyot, a journal of Yiddish studies.
