Title translates roughly as “Challenge: A Literary Artistic and Critical Bibliographical Journal.” At the time the only Yiddish literary periodical in Ukraine. Farmest 1933–1937 was a monthly Yiddish literary magazine published in Kharkhiv Ukraine by the Ukrainian Committee for Soviet Writers. “Edited by the poet Itsik Fefer 1900–1952 it was continued in Sovetishe literatur: Literarish-kinstlerisher un kritish-bibliografisher zhurnal Soviet Literature: Literary-Artistic and Critical-Bibliographical Journal; 1938–1941. In 1927 Fefer was a founding member of the Jewish Section of the All-Ukrainian Union of Proletarian Writers and from 1928 one of the editors of its Kharkov-based journal Prolit Proletarian Literature. He also coedited the nonproletarian Kharkov journal Di royte velt The Red World from 1929. From 1933 to 1937 he edited the Kiev periodical Farmest Challenge; known as Sovetishe literatur Soviet Literature between 1938 and 1941 which replaced Prolit and Di royte velt and was thereafter the only Yiddish literary periodical in Ukraine.” YIVO. Avrom Gontar was also involved in the collective and editorial committee. The editor Itsik Fefer 1900–1952 “began writing poems in 1918 and in 1922 joined Vidervuks New Growth in Kiev a group of young Yiddish literati whose mentor was Dovid Hofshteyn. That same year the appearance of Fefer’s small collection Shpener Splinters established him as a rising literary star. His poetry amalgamated the Kultur-lige poets’ revolutionary romanticism with the propagandist objectives of the workers’ movement. Fefer was known for his literary credo of proste reyd simple speech a concept he formulated in 1922. In the early 1920s poetry particularly avant-garde poetry swamped the literary pages of Soviet Yiddish periodicals. This phenomenon worried editors and critics who were wary of the fact that Yiddish readers usually could not identify with this style of literature. All Yiddish readers by contrast could understand Fefer’s proste reyd. In 1927 Fefer was a founding member of the Jewish Section of the All-Ukrainian Union of Proletarian Writers and from 1928 one of the editors of its Kharkov-based journal Prolit Proletarian Literature. He also coedited the nonproletarian Kharkov journal Di royte velt The Red World from 1929” Gennady Estraikh.
