HaLevanon (lit. 'The Lebanon') was the first Hebrew-language newspaper to be published in the Land of Israel. Published between 1863 and 1886, its chief editor was Yehiel Bril. HaLevanon was at various points in time distributed in Jerusalem, Paris, Mainz and London.
History
[edit]
HaLevanon was established in Jerusalem in early 1863 by Yehiel Bril, Michal HaCohen and Yoel Moshe Salomon.[1] The newspaper was written from a Misnagdim viewpoint,[2] and was opposed to the establishment of new settlements in the Land of Israel (with the exception of Motza).[citation needed] In December 1863, it was shut down by Ottoman authorities after being reported to them by Yisrael Bak, the editor of rival paper Havatzelet.[1][3]
In 1865, Bril re-established HaLevanon in Paris as a bi-weekly magazine.[4] Three years later, it began to be published on a weekly basis.[citation needed] Publication ceased following the Siege of Paris, and it was relocated to Mainz in Germany. There, it was released as a weekly supplement to Der Israelit until 1882,[4] when Bril helped Russian farmers move to Ottoman Palestine, leaving him unable to continue the newspaper's publication.[5]
In 1886, Bril resumed HaLevanon's publication in London,[4] before dying later that year, which resulted in the newspaper's discontinuation.[1]
Kvod HaLevanon
[edit]HaLevanon included a supplement called Kvod HaLevanon.[4] It acted as a journal for halakha (Jewish law), alongside publications in the field of Wissenschaft des Judentums.[citation needed]
