An early letter from Ahad Ha'am about Hashiloah his journal. Odessa, May 1897


A letter written and signed by Ahad Ha'am on a postcard, Odessa, May 21, 1897. In a letter to Mr. Cohen, Ahad Ha'am criticizes a painting he created for the journal Shalach: "Although the painting is complete and prominent, but your style is somewhat dry, Many words and phrases ... that are not in place in a Magazine intended for many readers. Well, I am willing  to allow your warticle in 'hashiloah' but on condition that you change your style in a place I find necessary ... ' . On the margins of the text is Ahad Ha'am's signature.


In 1896, the first issue of the central and most important Hebrew periodical in the 19th and 20th Centuries of Shiloach, or in the accent of one of the "shalach", came out of a new ethnic letter to literature on science and life.
He came out in the framework of the company Ahiasaf, financed by Kalonymus Ze'ev Wissotzky, the great tea manufacturer and an avid supporter of Ahad Ha'am who insisted that he be editor-in-chief of the monthly. The system was usually in Odessa or Warsaw. In the first issue of the new journal Ahad Ha'am declared: "The purpose of the journal is to know ourselves, to understand our lives and to establish our future wisely," and was attended by the best intellectuals and writers of the period. Ahad Ha'am was published as a meticulous editor, and as can be seen from the letter before us. he often edited and refined the essays in order to adapt them to the high level he wanted to achieve, even though many resented his high level by claiming that the magazine was trying to be too elitist.In the magazine Ahad Ha'am expressed his approach to Zionism as a central goal of the national movement and the transformation of the country Israel was a spiritual and cultural center for the Jewish people. and the Shiloach came out from 1896 to 1909.

Attached is a photo postcard with the portrait of Ahad Ha'am and the signature.
