summary
Shomer Tzion Hane'eman [periodical]:
Rabbi Ettlinger realized the vast benefits of utilizing periodicals as an instrument of mass education. He seized this opportunity to combat the influence of the rising reform movement by publishing popular and timely articles on a host of topics pertinent to Orthodox Jewry. Topics published in the bi-weekly Shomer Tzion Haneeman ( The faithful watchman if Zion) included Halachic responsa, principles of Judaism, Holidays and poetry. Contributions to the paper were from Rabbis, scholars and writers throughout Europe. Rabbi Ettllinger's keen ability to employ the modern in defense of the traditional, placed him in the forfront of community affairs.
Collection of pamphlets include:
I: Ettlinger, Jacob. Inaugural Address in the great Synagogue of Altona. Published for the benefit of the Jewish Free School of Altona. Previous owner’s inscriptions likely attributed to Professor Aaron Freimann 1871-1948, (grandson of Rabbi Jacob Ettlinger) once described as the “greatest bibliographer and historian of our generation.” (Yeshiva Unioversity Museum, Ahkenaz: The German Jewish Heritage, p. 111). pp. 22. Foxed. Needs rebinding. sm. 8 vo. Altona, Bonn Brothers, Seventh of May. Twentieth of Iyar,1836. Leo Jung states in Guardians of our Heritage, "On Lag B'Omer, 1836, Rabbi Ettlinger came to Altona and was welcomed with great honor and ceremony. A few days later, on Shabbat, the twentieth of Iyar, he preached his first sermon, which was received with great enthusiasm. In appreciation and in commemoration, the Kehilla published this address. Preaching played an important role in Altona and Rabbi Ettlinger placed considerable emphasis on it. Through his eloquence its role was further enhanced and in his talented hands it became a potent weapon. His sermons and lectures show painstaking preparation, systematic organization, and a courageous modernity of form and content, quite novel to the Orthodox pulpit of his day."
