the YARID

Inaugural Edition Coming October 2026

The YARID explores the future of Jewish thought and culture through curating and publishing collegiate voices. The word “yarid” means market or gathering; it is where trading, haggling, arguing, innovating, and exchanging ideas take place. A forum for serious intellectual and imaginative inquiry, The YARID collects a wide range of perspectives from Harvard and other universities. Representing college students in the ongoing effort to form, question, and engage with the Jewish tradition in a changing world, The YARID believes that surprising discoveries come from placing differing viewpoints in close proximity.
