New Palestine was a magazine founded in December 1919, [1] [2] initially as a weekly [3] [4] and later as a bi-weekly, published in New York. [4] It was the official organ of the Zionist Organization of America (ZOA). [3] [5] [6]

It started as a four-page publication. [2] The first issue in January 1920 read: "For the Restoration and up-building of a Jewish Palestine." [1] Its managing editor was Isidore Cooperman. [5]

It evolved from The Maccabean Magazine by Louis Lipsky [7] and Meyer Wolf Weisgal. [8] [9]

Contributors included Menachem Ribalow (1895–1953), who published numerous articles in New Palestine, [10] and the philanthropist and businessman Jacob Henry Schiff (born Jakob Heinrich Schiff; January 10, 1847 – September 25, 1920). [11]

The March 27, 1925 issue was dedicated in its entirety to the opening of The Hebrew University of Jerusalem. [12]

In 1934, Samuel Caplan was editor. [13]

Ludwig Lewisohn (May 30, 1882 – December 31, 1955) novelist, literary critic, the drama critic for The Nation and then its associate editor, was its editor [14] and editorial-writer [5] between 1943 and 1948. [15]
