summary

First Organ of the Anglo-Jewry. English journalist and philanthropist Jacob Abraham Franklin (1809-1877), launched his fortnightly newspaper, "The Voice of Jacob," as an Orthodox response to the Reform movement of 1842. The paper was also designed to protest the persecution of Jews on the international scene. The periodical lasted a total of six years before merging with The Jewish Chronicle. See JE, Vol. V, pp. 496-7.
