History

The paper was established by Martin Buber. Contributors included Max Mayer, Max Mayer Präger, Gustav Krojanker [de], Ernst Simon, Siegmund Kaznelson [de],^{[citation needed]} and dramatist Michał Weichert.^[1] It appeared monthly in 1916–1928, published by R. Löwit Verlag (Berlin/Vienna), with circulation in 3000–5000. The final two years saw more irregular publication.^{[citation needed]}

Thus was the third magazine bearing the title. Gottfried Selig had published a different magazine from 1768 to 1772, and Gabriel Riesser edited a magazine [de] of the same name from 1832. A fourth magazine of this name was published weekly in New York from 1895 in German.^{[citation needed]}

Buber announced plans for a magazine by this name in 1903-1904, subtitled "Revue der jüdischen Moderne" (Review of Modern Judaism), which he hoped to put out together with Chaim Weizmann, Berthold Feiwel, Ephraim Moses Lilien, and Davis Trietsch [de] under the auspices of Jüdischer Verlag [de].^[2][3] A prospectus, composed by Buber, was printed and distributed, but for financial reasons the plans for publication fell through.^[2][4]
