=== United Kingdom === There are well over 30,000 Yiddish speakers in the United Kingdom, and several thousand children now have Yiddish as a first language. The largest group of Yiddish speakers in Britain reside in the [[Stamford Hill]] district of North London, but there are sizable communities in northwest London, [[Leeds]], Manchester and [[Gateshead]].<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.thetimes.com/travel/destinations/uk-travel/england/london-travel/yiddish-once-again-speaks-for-itself-27bcvlf2qc9 |title=Yiddish once again speaks for itself |first=Jack |last=Shamash |date= March 6, 2004}}</ref> The Yiddish readership in the UK is mainly reliant upon imported material from the United States and Israel for newspapers, magazines and other periodicals. However, the London-based weekly ''[[Jewish Tribune (UK)|Jewish Tribune]]'' has a small section in Yiddish called {{lang|yi|אידישע טריבונע|rtl=yes}} {{lang|yi-Latn|Yidishe Tribune}}. From the 1910s to the 1950s, London had a daily Yiddish newspaper called {{lang|yi|די צײַט}} ({{lang|yi-Latn|Di Tsayt}}, {{IPA|yi|dɪ tsaɪt}}; in English, ''The Time''), founded, and edited from offices in [[Whitechapel Road]], by Romanian-born Morris Myer, who was succeeded on his death in 1943 by his son Harry. There were also from time to time Yiddish newspapers in Manchester, [[Liverpool]], [[Glasgow]] and Leeds. The bilingual Yiddish and English café [[Pink Peacock]] opened in Glasgow in 2021 but closed down in 2023.
