Jewish Morning Journal

The Jewish Morning Journal (Yiddish: דער מארגען זשורנאל, romanized: Der Morgen Zhurnal) was a Yiddish-language publication in New York from 1901 to 1971.

It was published in Yiddish, the language of the majority of eastern European Jewish immigrants who settled on the Lower East Side of New York.

[1] The paper took on a more liberal slant in 1916, when Jacob Fishman became editor, replacing Peter (Peretz) Wiernik.

Along with other Yiddish publications, its circulation declined steadily after World War I, as immigrants became more assimilated and used English.

[4] In 1953 the combined entity merged with the liberal Yiddish daily Jewish Day (Der Tog).
