Pashkevil

A Hareidi Jew reading pashkevilim on a wall in Mea Shearim
A pashkevil (2006) publicizing Neturei Karta's condemnation of those who associate with the “enemies of the Jewish people.” It was posted in response to the attendance of some of its members at an Iranian-convened conference dedicated to Holocaust denial.

A pashkevil (Yiddish: פּאַשקעוויל; Hebrew: פשקוויל pl. pashkevilim פשקווילים) is a broadside or poster that has been situated on a public wall or location in an Orthodox Jewish community, and most commonly within Hareidi enclaves. Pashkevilim are sometimes distributed anonymously; however, many are posted with rabbinic endorsements or the name of an activist group appended to the bottom.
