Dehak - A Journal For Good Literature (in Hebrew: דְּחָק - כתב עת לספרות טובה) is an Israeli literary magazine edited by Yehuda Vizan, dealing with a wide range of subjects from poetry, prose, drama and philosophy to Judaism, criticism, art and political thought. "Dehak" is a biblical word meaning "stress" or "push" or "emergency" or a "time of need".
The first issue appeared in 2011 and was accused by critics (such as Menahem Ben), due to its "Maskili" nature, of being too "snobbish and condescending".[1]
Later issues were praised by critics, both conservatives (Makor Rishon[2]) and liberals (Haaretz, Yitzhak Laor),[3] as Israel's leading literature magazine.
Dehak is a printed magazine. Past issues are available online for free reading (in Hebrew) at the magazine website.
Alongside the magazine operates a small press which publishes Hebrew & translated poetry, drama and criticism.
Contributors
Among its permanent contributors are many of Israel's predominant poets, authors, scholars, artists and translators.
