Meged Yerachim / HaMaggid

The Meged Yerachim monthly appeared with variations to the title page: one printing names R. Yitzchak Klein as editor (previously editor of Ohel Yitzchak – see previous item), while the second printing names R. Yosef Chaim HaKohen Weiss as editor (which is the case in the present issues). The monthly was apparently initially jointly edited by both men, with R. Yitzchak Klein being the content editor and R. Yosef Chaim Weiss being the official editor facing the Romanian authorities. However, they later split up due to a fierce dispute over the position of chief editor. R. Yitzchak Klein eventually left in 1928 and printed the periodical under a new name – HaMaggid. Meged Yerachim continued publication in decreasing frequency until 1930, while HaMaggid continued publication until 1939.

Interestingly, R. Yitzchak Klein used to sign the margins of some of his letters of that period "the true editor of the Meged Yerachim monthly". In the cover of one of the issues of HaMaggid appeared a notice by R. Yitzchak Klein: "I hereby publicly announce that from Rosh HaShanah of this year 5688 [1927] I have stopped editing the monthly Meged Yerachim, of which I was the sole creator, founder and editor for three years, and instead I edit HaMaggid".
