La Vara (English: The Stick) was a Judeo-Spanish (Ladino) language weekly newspaper, published 1922–1948 in New York City,[1] as a national Sephardi Jewish newspaper in the United States.
[2][3] It was edited by Albert Levy,[2][3][4] a Salonican Jew, and had a circulation of 16,500 in 1928.
[2] Marc D. Angel counts it as one of the two most important such publications historically, the other being La America.
