summary

Son of the Prague physician Jonas Jeiteles, Judah was a Hebrew writer and thinker and frequent contributor to Hame’assef, the journal of the Me’assefim. One of the chairmen of the Prague community, he supervised its German-language school. Unlike both the radical Maskilim and the Orthodox, he favored a school in which secular and Jewish religius education were taught side by side
