25th Issue of Yidishland
The new 25th issue of the quarterly magazine Yidishland, published in parallel print runs in Israel and Sweden, is dedicated to one of its editors, Mikhoel Felsenbaum, who recently received a lifetime achievement award from the Israeli National Authority for Yiddish Culture.
The magazine contains several essays by well known Yiddish literature experts who analyze various aspects of Felsenbaum’s prose, poetry and plays. It also contains his new works. Among other literary, philological and historical materials, the issue also features poems by the Italian-born Yiddish poet Yael Merlini.
On December 1, 2024, the London-based Yiddish poet Beruriah Wiegand will read and discuss her poetry at the special online event hosted by the Leyvik House in Tel Aviv at 6 PM Israel time. The event, moderated by the Amsterdam-based Yiddish poet David Omar Cohen, will be entirely in Yiddish. 
On November 24, 2024, the official presentation of the new Yiddish magazine “Di Goldene Pave” (“The Golden Peacock”) was held in Amsterdam, although its first pilot issue had already been published in June. The publication is the continuation of the previous Amsterdam-based Yiddish magazine “Di grine medine” (“The Green Country”), published since 2000.
Mikhoel Felsenbaum, a prominent Yiddish novelist, poet and playwright, has received a lifetime achievement award for 2024 in the field of literature from the Israeli National Authority for Yiddish Culture. Dr. Shoshana Dominski, who compiled a Yiddish-Hebrew online dictionary, was awarded a certificate of appreciation.
