It is published weekly, on Wednesdays. It is sold throughout New York, especially in Williamsburg and Borough Park, two prominent Yiddish-speaking neighborhoods in Brooklyn.

The newspaper's mission is to bring news to readers with a non-partisan outlook, and although the editor belongs to the Satmar community and advocates their methods, they do not interfere in its internal disputes. The newspaper's editors identify with a liberal worldview, and tend to the Democratic Party more than other Yiddish newspapers.
