Yad mizrah

The first contemporary Mizrahi & Sephardic Literary Magazine

Yad Mizrah, meaning “Eastern Hand,” was founded on an outrageous realization: all modern Jewish literary magazines are typically rooted in and inspired by our Ashkenazi brothers’ and sisters’ literary tradition, history, and culture. No other literary magazines, ones that were rooted in Sephardic and Mizrahi literary heritage and culture, it seemed, existed.

Open submissions

Yad Mizrah will accept quality poetry, fiction, and non-fiction of any kind, with preference to works rooted in Sephardic and Mizrahi literary heritage, history, and culture. In addition, we also accept op-ed, book reviews, and visual art.
