Ost und West ("East and West") was a Zionist journal of Jewish culture and the wisdom of Israel. The magazine was published in Berlin between 1901 and 1923. The spirit of the journal was formulated by Martin Buber who advocated presenting Judaism as a culture and not just a religion and his conception of the Land of Israel was in a romantic spirit. Its founder and editor was Davis Trich and his deputy was Arthur Zilberglite. "East and West" tried to bridge between modern, Western Judaism and traditional, Eastern European Judaism.

The magazine combined works of art, mainly Art Nouveau engravings (mainly by Ephraim Moshe Lilien) with artistic and critical writing. The authors of the journal include Buber, Ludwig Geiger, Customs Nordau, Alfred Nussig, Yosef Halevi, Israel Levy, David Zvi Miller, Fabius Shach, Avraham Epstein, Adolf Rosenzweig, Arno Nadel (editor of the music supplement) and Theodor Zelocisti. The language of the journal was German and Yiddish translations were first brought in this language.The magazine appeared until August 1914 as a monthly magazine. In 1923, with the collapse of the Weimar Republic's economy, the magazine closed.
