summary

Son of the famed Prague physician Jonas Jeiteles, the author (1773–1838) was a frequent contributor to HaMe’assef. One of the four chairmen of the Prague community, he supervised its German-language Jewish school in which both secular and religious subjects were taught equally. Judah Jeiteles was the first to use the expression “Haskalah” for the Enlightenment Movement.
