Allgemeine Zeitung Des Judentums
''Allgemeine Zeitung des Judentums'' (until May 1903: ''Allgemeine Zeitung des Judenthums'') was a Jewish German magazine devoted to Jewish interests, founded in 1837 by Ludwig Philippson (1811–89), published first in Leipzig and later in Berlin. In 1860 it had a circulation of approximately 1,500. It was read not only in Germany, Austria, and the Netherlands but also in Eastern Europe, and continued to appear until 1922. At the time of its founding, several Jewish journals had recently been launched in Germany – '' Sulamith'' (1806-1843), '' Jedidja'' (1817-1831), and Abraham Geiger's '' Wissenschaftliche Zeitschrift für Jüdische Theologie'' (1835-1847), as well as the '' Unparteiische Universal-Kirchenzeitung'' (1837), of Julius Vinzenz Höninghaus, which had a Jewish section edited by Michael Hess and Isaac Markus Jost – and Philippson recognized that none had kept pace with the needs of the times.Singer, Isidore (1906).Allgemeine Zeitung des Judenthums" ''Jewish ...
