Jewish publication From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Veker (or Der Veker, Yiddish דער וועקער, The Alarm Clock) is a Jewish journal in the Yiddish language featuring Jewish thought, commentary, essays, history, fiction, humor, and poetry.[1][2][3][4][5][6] It has been referred to as "the New Yorker of the Hasidic Yiddish world".[7] The journal is published several times a year. Veker publishes articles that touch on sensitive topics that wouldn't be covered by other Orthodox Yiddish publications.[2] Despite its independent streak, Veker is an Orthodox Jewish publication, and its content adheres to what is acceptable under Orthodox beliefs.[1] Although it is published by Hasidic Jews, and mainly for a Hasidic readership, Veker’s mission is to provide a platform to every Speaker of the Yiddish language.
