Last year, I was asked to design the cover for the new issue of the Yugntruf magazine. Yugntruf (Youth for Yiddish) is a non-profit organization that promotes speaking Yiddish as a living language through programs, reading circles and retreats. I have been part of this organization and have frequented their events since infancy and was honored to design this cover for them. It comes at such a great time too, because I leave for Yiddish-Vokh (Yiddish Week - Yugntruf's annual summer camp retreat) tomorrow morning and cannot wait to see my close friends, meet new Yiddish speakers and enjoy the wonderful Yiddish community!

Yugntruf - Youth for Yiddish, magazine cover. 2013.

From the Yugntruf Facebook page:

Tonight at Yiddish Week we had the debut of the new issue of the Yugntruf Journal, our all Yiddish-language literary magazine which all Yugntruf members will receive as part of their membership. The issue will be available for sale next week as both a printed journal and a digital download for readers all over the world.
