Davka

Davka's 5th issue is dedicated to New York Yiddish, a success story which is usually overlooked by Israeli History Books. It covers a selection of the New York Yiddish Golden Age elements: the Yiddi Theatre, which became a kind of Modern Temple (Edna Nahshon); the Rise of "Fiddler on the Roof" (Dan Almagor). The New Davka issue also includes a photographic tour following the trail of the Jewish Past in the Lower East Side (Nahum Gershon), a Motl Peyse Dem Khazns Comics and more.

Davka does not limit itself to the Historical tale but also describes the Yiddish Situation in New York today. It tells of the activity of a very young organization "Yugntruf " and tells of a friendship between two women an ex-religious and an orthodox and even includes a play about female love in one of the Yiddish reading circles in the East Village.
