Literary career
In 1868, Braudes became a contributor to Ha-Lebanon, a Hebrew weekly published by
Gottlober at Lviv
in 1875.
Another novel, The Two Extremes, appeared in Lviv in 1885. In this book Braudes pictures in vivid colors the Orthodox and Reform camps in modern Israel.
Zionist activism
In 1882, at the time of the
anti-Semitic riots in Russia, Braudes joined the Zionist movement and became one of its foremost advocates. To foster this idea he went to Romania, and in Bucharest began the publication of Yehudit, a weekly in Yiddish
. At the end of two years, however, Braudes was expelled from the country.
In 1891, he went to Kraków, and started a weekly in Hebrew, The Time. This paper existed for nine months, when, for lack of funds, its publication was suspended.
Theodor Herzl appointed Braudes editor of the Yiddish edition of his weekly, Die Welt.[1]
