The editor of this rare Polish-Jewish weekly was the writer Daniel Neufeld (1814-1874). Neufeld's other literary accomplishments include: a work on Napoleon's Sanhedrin (1861); a Polish translation of the books of Genesis and Exodus, with commentary (1863); and a Polish translation of the Prayer-Book and the Hagadah (1865). Neufeld's weekly newspaper for Jews, "Jutrzenka," was short-lived, extending from 1861 until 1863. See JE, Vol. IX, pp. 235-6
THIS WAS THE VERY FIRST JEWISH INTELLECTUAL PERIODICAL PUBLISHED IN POLISH
