Revision as of 12:15, 19 January 2013

The Zionist Review was the official publication of the Zionist Federation. It was published between May 1917 and June 1927; 1934-1952 and 1982-1995. It was replaced by the Jewish Observer and Middle East Review between 1952 and 1977.

Closure - 1952

The American Jewish Yearbook 1953, reported:

The replacement of the thirty-year-old Zionist Review by the Jewish Observer and Middle East Review under the editorship of Jon Kimche was a frank acknowledgment that a specifically Zionist organ could no longer stimulate readership and win solvency in Britain. The new journal, sponsored by the Zionist Federation, was inaugurated in March 1952, and represented a departure from the house organ style of its predecessor in favor of one of wider political significance. An interesting innovation was the Zionist Year Book, the first issue of which was published in October 1951.[1]
