Hi! My name is Leah (pronounced Layah) Larson and I'm 17 years old. I'm the editor and publisher of YALDAH magazine. I founded YALDAH when I was thirteen. People often ask me how I got the idea to create a magazine "for Jewish girls, by Jewish girls".  I have always loved reading, creative writing, art and photography.  I had been subscribing to American Girl and was a winner (twice) in their short story contest.  I thought to myself, "Wouldn't it be great to have a magazine geared for Jewish Girls?"  In November 2003, I started fooling around on the computer trying to create my own magazine cover. I used the sample name "Yaldah" which is Hebrew for girl. This got my creative juices flowing.  I mapped out the first issue and got to work! Well, that's the summarized story. If you want to hear the full story, check out the media page, where there are lots of articles about YALDAH and how I got started.

YALDAH is written, edited, and published by Jewish girls. YALDAH is published quarterly around September, December, March and June, and is dedicated to supplying Jewish girls with good quality, kosher, reading. YALDAH magazine celebrates Jewish girls and women, Jewish life and values, and creativity. YALDAH aims to connect Jewish girls and inspire them to embrace their Judiasm with pride and become Jewish leaders of the future. YALDAH shows girls that using their talents and determination, they can make their dreams come true!
