The 116-year-old, Yiddish-language edition of The Forward is scaling back its print operations from weekly to biweekly to redirect resources to a revamped, Yiddish-language website. From February 4, Forverts will live primarily at yiddish.forward.com, to be updated daily with a mix of the paper’s existing news features and new Yiddish audio reports from freelance journalists in seven cities around the world, from Buenos Aires to Melbourne to Moscow.
