Nu is an Austrian Jewish culture magazine that has been published by the Arbeitsgemeinschaft Jewish Forum in Vienna since 2000 . The first edition is from May 2000; it is preceded by a zero number from April. The magazine appears four times a year at irregular intervals and the print version is available as a subscription and from selected sales partners.
content
The editors have made it their business to publish a medium that informs the Jewish community members about "the actual events in the IKG [Israelitische Kultusgemeinde]". The aim is for the magazine to be a “discussion forum that offers space for a wide variety of opinions on the subject of Judaism” and in which “critical voices that are currently not heard [,] […] or those who think differently […] can have their say”.
Surname
The name of the journal is explained in the April 2000 zero number as follows:
"Nu.
Nu ?!
Nu nu !!
What is the "Nu" about?
First, it rhymes with: Do and probably come from: Well.
Second, Nu belongs to the purest and most typical Yiddish, perhaps comparable to Oj!
Thirdly, it can be a lot: a complaint, a comment, a mocking, mischievous or malicious remark, a groan, a groan or a wail.
And fourth, it is an invitation.
Although it only consists of two letters, “Nu” can
mean so much: Nu? - what's new?
Nu? - what do you mean?
Nu. - so far so good ...
Nu ?! - can you imagine that?!
Nu !! - Do something!!"
