The Menorah Journal, vol. 2, no. 1, February 1916.

An Outlet for Jewish Academics

Founded in 1915 under the editorship of Henry Hurwitz, The Menorah Journal was intended to serve as the official organ of the Intercollegiate Menorah Society and as the academic exponent of Jewish culture and ideals in America. Through the publication of the best and most informative articles produced about Jewish history, religion, literature and modern life, The Menorah Journal aimed to stimulate an awareness of an interest in Jewish issues, to discuss Jewish problems from all points of view, and to encourage Jewish writers and artists to find themselves within their Jewish heritage.
