""I don't know where I'd be without In geveb. This journal has given me incredible opportunities for exposure and publication, especially given that I am a junior scholar with naught but a bachelors' degree in History and a great deal of enthusiasm. What's even more incredible is that In geveb's whole team is dedicated to fostering not only intellectual curiosity but professional stability and mutual respect--I can't say I've ever heard of another journal paying contributors as a matter of policy. When I work with In geveb I know that I'm going to be taken seriously despite my inexperience; that I'll be treated respectfully and with patience. Biz hundert un tsvantsik, In geveb!" -Nadav Pais-Greenapple"

“I feel extraordinarily lucky that I never had to imagine a Yiddish journey (in any form) without In geveb…As I shaped my graduate thesis around the modern performance of Yiddish partisan music, I never once felt like I was chasing relics, ghosts, or exceptions to a rule. Yiddish was–is–alive, and In geveb’s expansive and accessible Pedagogical library became a close companion as I dove deeper and deeper into my studies and charted my post-graduation path…I am so grateful that In geveb exists, and for the groundbreaking, smart, and thoughtful scholarship and criticism it champions. I look forward to In geveb’s next tsen years–and (hopefully!) its next hundert.”
