Jacob Werber (Hebrew: יעקב ווערבער, romanized: Ya'akov Verber; 4 February 1859 – 20 August 1890) was a Galician Jewish editor and writer.
[1] His father was a Hebrew scholar who, from 1865, published the Hebrew-language weekly Ha-Ivri [he] (known also as Ivri Anokhi; its title alternated for tax reasons).
[2][3] By age 15 Werber could read and speak Hebrew fluently, and in 1874 he published the novelette "Galgal ha-Ḥozer ba-Olam" in his father's periodical.
[4] He was a member of the Brody relief committee during the wave of pogroms in 1881–2.
[5] Werber contracted a severe illness in 1890 and died shortly thereafter, at the age of 31.
