Di Tzeitung (Yiddish: די צייטונג; the newspaper) is a Yiddish weekly newspaper published in New York City, founded in 1988 and edited by Abraham Friedman, a Satmar Hasidic Jew, from Borough Park, Brooklyn, New York.
It is published weekly, on Wednesdays. and 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. 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.
