THE FIRST RABBINICAL PERIODICAL PUBLISHED IN ENGLAND. Morris J. Raphall was an active and prolific writer and orator both in his native England and later, in the United States. As well as editing Gal’ed, the first rabbinical periodical in England, he wrote the first English translation of parts of the Mishna with David Aaron de Sola. When he emigrated to the United States in 1849, he became rabbi of Congregation B’nei Jeshurun in New York. In the prelude to the Civil War years, he encountered particular controversy for his stand against Abolitionism
