From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hadoar (Hebrew: The Post) (1921 - 2005) was a Hebrew language periodical published in the United States by the Histadruth Ivrith of America.

Hadoar was described by the Jewish Telegraphic Agency as "one of the best Hebrew-language magazines in the world" in its day.[1] It was edited for decades by Hebraist Menachem Ribalow.[2][3][4]
