Title translates as "Why Do People Need a Jewish Culture League in America" Pamphlet written by three leading Yiddish writers all members of the Jewish Writers Club on the importance of unifying Yiddish cultural work under a centralized organization. It would appear that they saw the Eastern European "Yidishe Kultur Lige" as their model. Alas a "Kultur Lige in Amerike" seems to have never gotten off the ground. These three Yiddish writers however were perhaps uniquely positioned to bring such an organization into existence. Arnold Kritshmar-Yizraeli born Arn Kritshmar; 1878-1962 was a Jewish journalist and writer who primarily contributed to Yiddish and Russian-language periodicals. "Niger 1883-1955 was the embodiment among us of modern Yiddish literary history with which he cohabited and which practically from the beginning he helped to fashion. He alone was born to plan a vital part in it" Mortkhe Shtrigler in Leksikon fun der Nayer Yidisher Literatur As to Zeldin 1882-1949 his vision may have been filled when he became "one of the founders of the Y. L. Perets Writers' Union and for several years its president" Leksikon fun der Nayer Yidisher Literatur; the same Writer's Union published Niger's Tsum Tsentn Yortsayt Nokh Mendele Moykher Sforim Sholem Yankev Abramovitsh a Kurtse Bashraybung fun Mendeles Lebn To the Tenth Anniversary of the Death of Mendele Moykher Sforim Sholem Yankev Abramovitsh a short description of Mendele's life in 1928. "The I.L. Peretz Yiddish Writers' Union YWU also sometimes called the Jewish Writers' Union was founded in New York in 1915 as a labor and mutual aid organization for Yiddish journalists. Its first president was Hillel Rogoff of the Forverts and its first secretary was Joseph Margoshes of the Tog. The Union represented all Yiddish writers and journalists at the three major New York City Yiddish papers the Tog Morgn Zhurnal and the Forverts. The Yiddish Writers' Union was a member of the United Hebrew Trades an association of Jewish labor unions in New York City. The Union participated in strikes and labor disputes and fought for job security severance pay benefits and a minimum wage for Yiddish journalists. In November 1939 together with the Jewish Labor Committee the Union decided to found a Fund for Jewish Refugee Writers a relief fund for Yiddish writers in Europe as well as for American members in financial need. The Fund was ultimately established in January 1940. This Fund conducted a one-time emergency appeal among Yiddish writers in America and their supporters and readers. Through the efforts of this Fund the Union was able to sponsor the immigration of several thousand writers and political and cultural activists and also to send money to those writers whom they were unable to bring over. In 1929 the Union had 200 members. Although the Union continued to be active in labor disputes after World War II its membership declined steadily. While still in existence in the 1980s the Yiddish Writers' Union had relinquished much of its role as a labor union and functioned primarily as a literary association." YIVO Not in OCLC or WorldCat.

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.
