''Ha-Shaḥar'' () was a Hebrew-language monthly periodical, published and edited at Vienna by Peretz Smolenskin from 1868 to 1884. The journal contained scientific articles, essays, biographies, and literature, as well as general Jewish news. The objects of Smolenskin were to spread Englightenment and knowledge of the Hebrew language, and particularly to oppose obscurantism. Its publication was interrupted several times for lack of support. ''Ha-Shaḥar'' greatly influenced the Haskalah movement, especially in Russia, where it was well known. It was read secretly in the '' yeshivot'', in private houses, and in the '' batte midrashot''.
