The Arabic-language reform magazine at-Tahdhib ( Arabic التهذيب, DMG at-Tahḏīb , "elevation" or "edification") appeared from October 1901 to September 1903 in Cairo . The publication took place monthly until August 1902 and then increased to about three issues per month. From October 1902 to September 1903 33 issues appeared. It is probably the oldest surviving Jewish magazine in Arabic. Its founder, editor and authoritative author, the Egyptian- Karaite-Jewish lawyer Murad Faradsch (Farag) (1866–1956), used the magazine as a platform for change in the Karaite-Jewish community in Egyptwho formed the target audience of the magazine. The content of the journal focuses on topics such as identity and cultural orientation as well as legal and educational reforms. Thematically it was very complex and contained essays on moral behavior and suggested solutions, but also legal matters such as inheritance , consanguinity , circumcision and Jewish dietary laws ( kashrut ).
