Inside the making of Der Yid

A guided visit through the production of Der Yid and the many newspaper sections and magazines assembled into a weekly Yiddish publication.

After watching

What this film opens up

A weekly newspaper is more than a source of headlines. Its sections reveal the subjects a Yiddish-speaking religious public expects to follow: Torah, world affairs, business, institutions, family life, youth, and events across an international communal network.

Outside the frame. This visit follows one of Satmar's two major branch-associated newspapers. Der Blatt carries the parallel publishing voice associated with the other branch.
