The Jew. A monthly was a Jewish magazine founded by Martin Buber and Salman Schocken that appeared from 1916 to 1928.

The editor was Buber, the editors included Max Mayer (1886–1967), Max Mayer Präger (1889–1942), Gustav Krojanker (1891–1945), Ernst Simon and Siegmund Kaznelson .

The Jew was published monthly from 1916 to 1928 by R. Löwit Verlag (Berlin / Vienna). The issues of the last two years were published irregularly. The edition was between 3000 and 5000 copies.

Buber's magazine was the third use of this title after the magazine of the same name published by Gottfried Selig from 1768–1772 and from 1832 by Gabriel Riesser , all of which had the same title, but were designed completely differently. The first magazine by that name was an almost anti-Semitic paper. There was also a weekly in New York published in German since 1895 under the title Der Jude .

As early as 1903, Martin Buber wanted - together with Chaim Weizmann and Berthold Feiwel - to publish a magazine under the title Der Jude (a “revue of Jewish modernity”), but this could not be realized.
