The Israelite of the nineteenth century , with changing secondary titles such as A Weekly for Progress and Reform in Judaism , was a German - language reform - oriented Jewish weekly newspaper that appeared on Sundays from October 1839 until it was discontinued on June 25, 1848.
The magazine was founded by the regional rabbi of the Grand Duchy of Saxony-Weimar-Eisenach Mendel Heß as
"Reform-oriented" religious paper "that wanted to update the" Idea of Judaism "in the face of increasing secularization and convey it to an enlightened readership."
In the last year of publication, Samuel Holdheim was co-editor of the magazine.
The Internet archive of Jewish periodicals, Compact Memory, contains the journal's holdings, with the exception of the 1839 volume.
