history

In 1901 the Israelitisches Wochenblatt was founded for Switzerland , which from 1991 onwards was called the Israelitisches Wochenblatt .

Adrien Blum founded the magazine Makkabi in 1941 as an organ of the Jewish Gymnastics and Sports Association in Switzerland, which was supposed to promote Jewish sports and Zionism. In 1947 the publication changed its name to Jüdische Rundschau Maccabi and developed into a general Jewish press organ for Switzerland, including reports in French .

In 2001 the two magazines were merged under the current name tachles .
