Est: $6,000 - $8,000
German-language supplement of the English language weekly “The Israelite,” created by Isaac Mayer Wise in Cincinnati in 1855. The first Jewish periodical in America devoted to women, Die Deborah appeared until 1902, two years after Wise’s death. While ostensibly directed at women, the journal also served the larger needs of 19th-century America’s German-speaking Jewry, promoting a program of German identity, bourgeois culture and Jewish Reform.
