A chassidisher Derher (Yiddish: א חסידישע דערהער a ha si di sher der her /a χaˈsidɪʃə dɛrˈhɛr/ lit. 'A hassidic perception') Is a nonprofit[1] subscription based monthly magazine published by Vaad Talmidei Hatmimim Haolami. It features articles, photographs, and interviews related to Chassidic history and the Lubavitcher Rebbe, and the activities of the Chabad-Lubavitch movement. The magazine is primarily aimed at the English-speaking Chabad community.[2]
History
[edit]The first issue of A Chassidisher Derher was introduced in black-and-white format and distributed in Chabad yeshivot in January 2011. The inaugural issue, released on January 29, 2011 (24 Shevat, 5771),[3] contained four pages. For nearly a year, the publication maintained this format, until November 12, 2011 (12 Cheshvan, 5772),[4] when the Vaad Talmidei Hatmimim Ha’olami (World Board of Talmidim) was officially designated as the organization overseeing the magazine.[5]
In December 2011, the magazine expanded to include a 24-page color edition, incorporating rare photographs of the Lubavitcher Rebbe. Following this milestone, the magazine operated as a weekly publication for two years, featuring extended editions during major Chabad holidays. By 2013, it transitioned to a monthly format,[5] which it maintains to this day.[6][7]
By 2022, Chassidisher Derher had grown significantly in scope, reaching thousands of subscribers across the United States and many Chabad communities worldwide.[8] Its content was also made widely accessible in 2021 with the launch of a comprehensive online archive and index of its articles.[9]
The magazine collaborates with Jewish Educational Media (JEM), leveraging their extensive photo archives of the Lubavitcher Rebbe to enhance its visual content.[10][11]
