History

The paper was established by Martin Buber. Contributors included Max Mayer (1886–1967), Max Mayer Präger (1889–1942), Gustav Krojanker (1891–1945), Ernst Simon, and Siegmund Kaznelson. It appeared monthly in 1916–1928 and was published by R. Löwit Verlag (Berlin/Vienna). During the last two years it appeared irregularly. It was circulated in 3000–5000 copies.

Buber's was the third magazine bearing this title. Gottfried Selig had published a different magazine from 1768 to 1772, and Gabriel Riesser edited a magazine of the same name from 1832. A fourth magazine of this name was published weekly in New York from 1895 in German.

In 1903-1904, Buber announced plans for a magazine by this name, subtitled "Revue der jüdischen Moderne" (Review of Modern Judaism), which he hoped to put out together with Chaim Weizmann, Berthold Feiwel, E. M. Lilien, and Davis Trietsch under the auspices of Jüdischer Verlag.[1][2] A prospectus, composed by Buber, was printed and distributed, but for financial reasons the plans for publication fell through.[1][3]

gollark: That would actually be a scam.
gollark: Well, you should have demanded a refund.
gollark: Oh, I see.
