After 140 years, MLN will have a regular issue devoted to Yiddish, Hebrew, and other Jewish languages. I don’t know about you, but I’m excited!
Please help us get the word out and please send me your work.
We are thrilled to announce a call for our inaugural Yiddish & Hebrew issue edited by @samspinner.bsky.social
Please circulate widely. We are open to work that engages with Jewish literature, culture, and thought in any language.

From the archives-- pages from the first issue (1886) of MLN which invited advertisers at $10/page while the journal built a subscription list. The pages of early issues were a hodgepodge of advertisements (mostly for books and language classes), philological notes, and lists of new books.
