Vienna-Frankfurt am Main-Berlin, 1923-1932. German with some Hebrew and some English. Ten Volumes (complete set). The monthly journal "Menorah" dealing with Jewish culture was published during the years 1923-1932. After the third year the sub-title was altered.
The introduction to the first issue says: "Hebrew papers that appear now have a limited goal: political or religious. This journal's aim is to assist in establishing bridges between the various trends in Judaism and unite them on a common basis…this journal is for the Jewish home and Jewish family – both of which have always been like a fortress for Judaism".
The journal includes many articles about art. Amongst the artists: Marc Chagall, Max Liebermann, Channah Orloff, Maurici Gottlieb, Ya'akov Steinhardt and others; the writers and authors include Dubnov, Isaak Babel, Achad Ha'am, Meir Balaban, Sholem Asch, Arthur Schnitzler and others.
