La Vara
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
La Vara (English: The Stick) was a Judeo-Spanish (Ladino) language weekly newspaper, published 1922–1948 in New York City,[1] as a national Sephardi Jewish newspaper in the United States.[2][3] It was edited by Albert Levy,[2][3][4] a Salonican Jew, and had a circulation of 16,500 in 1928.[2] Marc D. Angel counts it as one of the two most important such publications historically, the other being La America.[2]
La Vara introduced an English-language section in 1934.[4]
