    • Ha-Tsfira (Hebrew: הצפירה) was a Hebrew-language newspaper published in Poland in 1862 and 1874–1931.[1]

    History

    The first issue of Ha-Tsfira appeared in

    Chaim Selig Slonimski.[2] Ha-Tsfira was the first Hebrew paper with an emphasis on the sciences.[2]

    The paper closed down after six months when Slonimski became principal of the rabbinical seminary in Zhytomyr, and the government began censorship of Hebrew books.[3]

    It reopened in 1874 in

    Nachum Sokolov, who was later appointed editor-in-chief.[2][4]

    Ha-Tsfira became part of a network of important Hebrew periodicals, among them

    Y. L. Peretz, and Sholem Aleichem.[2]
