Historic edition

Jewish review in street vendors, 1934

The Jüdische Rundschau appeared in Berlin from 1902 until it was banned in 1938 and was the largest and most important Zionist weekly newspaper in Germany. As the organ of the Zionist Association for Germany , it represented German Zionism to the outside world. Significant debates about the function and task of Zionist politics within the meaning of the Basel program decided on at the first Zionist congress in 1897 were held on their pages . In addition, from 1933 onwards she reported on the difficult living conditions for Jews in Germany and gave readers who were willing to emigrate detailed information on emigration options.

Along with the CV newspaper and the Israelitisches Familienblatt, it was one of the defining Jewish periodicals in Germany. The magazine emerged from the Berliner Vereinsbote (1895–1901) and the Israelitische Rundschau (1901–1902). The editor was Heinrich Loewe . The editors- in- chief throughout the history of the magazine have included Julius Becker, Felix Abraham, Hugo Hermann , Leo Hermann, Fritz Löwenstein, Hans Klötzel , Robert Weltsch and Hans Bloch.

The Jüdische Rundschau initially appeared weekly from 1902, and mostly twice a week from 1919. After the Reichspogromnacht in 1938, the magazine had to cease its publication. Its successor was the Jüdische Welt-Rundschau, which was printed in Paris until the German Wehrmacht invaded in 1940 and from there distributed to 60 countries . It was designed in Jerusalem by numerous emigrated members of the editorial team of the former Jüdische Rundschau and published by Siegmund Kaznelson .

One of the most influential and important journalists of the Jüdische Rundschau was the co-editor Robert Weltsch . His cousin Felix Weltsch , a close friend of Franz Kafka , published the Czechoslovak central organ of the Zionists , the German - speaking self - defense (1907–1938), in Prague from 1919 .

After mass deportations, massive expansion of concentration camps and manifold forms of discrimination, the last edition of the Jüdische Rundschau appeared on November 8, 1938, one day before the Reichspogromnacht .

Jüdische Rundschau published by JBO

Since the beginning of July 2014, a German-language monthly newspaper has been published by JBO Jewish Berlin Online under the title Jüdische Rundschau with an initial circulation of 7,000 copies.

The only thing that has in common with the historical edition is its name.

The editor of the newspaper is the Berlin entrepreneur Rafael Korenzecher. The Russian-language edition “Jewrejskaja Panorama” is also published in the same house. In the reporting, "conservative, orthodox and liberal currents" should be taken into account. One of the objectives of both magazines is to "counteract a media image of Israel that is often distorted and incomplete today in a meaningful way".
