Jewish Studies @ PENN

[Mark Wischnitzer, Literary Editor, with David. Bergelson and Der Nister; Rachel Wischnitzer-Bernstein, Art Editor]. Milgroym-Rimon. [Berlin: Rimon, c1922-c1924] Gift of Deborah Karp. From the Abraham J. Karp Collection.

The fabulously illustrated bi-lingual Yiddish-Hebrew periodical is recognized as the first journal of Jewish art. Its art editor, Rachel Wischnitzer, a pioneer in the field of modern Jewish art history, highlights through the vehicle of its covers the way that traditional Jewish motifs could be employed to reinvent medieval Jewish manuscript traditions as a modern magazine of arts and letters.
