Hamagid (Hebrew: הַמַּגִּיד‎‎; lit. 'the Declarer'), also known after 1893 as Hamagid LeIsrael (הַמַּגִּיד לְיִשְׂרָאֵל‎), was the first Hebrew language weekly newspaper. It featured mostly current events, feature articles, a section on Judaic studies, and, in its heyday, discussions of social issues. Published between 1856 to 1903, it first appeared in Lyck, East Prussia and targeted Russian Jews, but was soon redistributed all over Europe and the Jewish world. Although it only had a peak circulation of 1,800 copies, it's primarily remembered as beginning the modern day Hebrew language press. It is hard to estimate its true readership, as in its era one copy would pass through many hands.
