v.d

Five volumes: July 1859-June 1860. * July 1870-June 1871. * July 1877-June 1878 (lacking nos. 2-7). * July 1880-June 1881. * July 1886 -June 1887.

German-language supplement of the English language weekly “The Israelite,” created by Isaac Mayer Wise in Cincinnati in 1855. The first Jewish periodical in America devoted to women, Die Deborah appeared until 1902, two years after Wise’s death. While ostensibly directed at women, the journal also served the larger needs of 19th-century America’s German-speaking Jewry, promoting a program of German identity, bourgeois culture and Jewish Reform.
