HaModia [Orthodox Hebrew weekly newspaper]. Edited by Rabbi Eliyahu Akiva Rabinowitz.

A complete run of the first two years of this Hebrew weekly newspaper. The first year - which is especially rare - commenced in the month of Nissan has 24 issues, the second year contains 50 issues. HaModia stood at the vanguard of the Orthodox Hebrew press during the years leading up to the outbreak of World War I. Published between the years 1910-15 it was the most influential Orthodox Hebrew weekly newspaper aimed first and foremost at the Russian-Jewish reading public. Because of its broad content however, it was distributed to many Jewish communities in Europe and beyond. HaModia reported news from around the world and especially from the Jewish world, either culled from translations of the general press or from original reporting drawn from its own network of correspondents. It nurtured the modern genre of opinion essays in Hebrew. In addition to articles by the editor, many prominent Rabbis and literary talents were constant contributors. For example, it contained articles by Rabbis Shlomo Yoseph Zevin, Isaiah Reicher, Yechezkel Abramsky, Yehuda Leib Zirelson, Yechiel Ya’akov Weinberg, Ya’akov Moshe Charlap, Yoseph Eliyahu Henkin, Ya’akov Halevi Lipschitz. It contains contemporary Jewish historical information pertaining to many issues and Rabbinical figures not available elsewhere.
