Description		    An issue of a weekly Yiddish newspaper entitled Literarische Bletter, vol .12, no. 48, dated November 29, 1935. It has the subtitle :Vokhenshrift far literatur, teater un kunst [a weekly for literature, theater and art]. It was published between 1924 and 1939 [No. 1 (9ter April 1924)-nr. 782 (30 Yuni 1939)] and its editors included Israel Joshua Singer (1893-1944) and Nachman Mayzel (1887-1966).
          
Paragraph 2    The first of the 730 issues of Literarishe Bleter was published on May 9, 1924, and the journal appeared every Friday until June 1939. The price varied throughout the interwar period, from the initial 45 groszy to 60 groszy in the years of the depression and down to 30 groszy by the late 1930s.The circulation of Literarishe Bleter proves difficult to determine, the highest estimates range from 3000 to 3500 copies. The founders and editors of Literarishe Bleter planned their journal to have a worldwide distribution. And indeed, a map celebrating the 500th issue of the journal showed that the Warsaw weekly reached Yiddish-speakers all over the world.

Literarishe Bleter were an attempt – not the first but undoubtedly the most successful – at giving the mass reader a full-fledged modern Yiddish-language cultural periodical that would maintain a high intellectual level while remaining accessible to readers of all social backgrounds.
