Der Yid
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Der Yid (Yiddish: דער איד) is a New York based Yiddish language weekly newspaper. The newspaper is published by Satmar Hasidim, but is widely read within the broader Haredi community. It uses a Yiddish dialect common to Satmar Chasidim as opposed to "YIVO Yiddish" which is standard in secular and academic circles.
[edit] History
Der Yid was founded by Aharon Rosmarin as a fortnightly paper. The first editor of Der Yid was the writer Uriel Zimmer, publisher of an anti-Zionist tract. In 1955 it was bought out by the Satmar community in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. The paper was revamped by Alexander Deutsch (Sender Dietch) into a weekly newspaper carrying world news.
It is currently owned by the supporters of Rabbi Zalman Teitelbaum in the current dispute over the succession to the Satmarer leadership.
