The German Orthodox Jewish weekly "Der Israelit" appeared between 1860 and 1938. The weekly served as a platform for disseminating the views of Agudat Israel, in which the Aguda led the way of Orthodoxy. The paper was, by definition, "a major journal of Orthodox Judaism." He took a conservative-traditional religious approach, and was a counter-reaction to the reformist and liberal tendencies. Among its editors during the years of its existence: Rabbi Meir Marcus Lehman and his son Rabbi Oskar Lehman, Rabbi Yaakov Rosenheim, and Rabbi Zelig Shechnovitz. In time, "Der Israelit" became the most important Newspaper for the press of Orthodox Judaism in Germany. The newspaper featured sequels-historical stories in sequels by Rabbi Meir Lehman, which were intended to attract the hearts of the youth and were interwoven with allegations against the "innovators." In early November 1938, the paper ceased to be published, after the Nazi regime banned its distribution.
