HaZfira, edited by Haim Zelig Slonimsky. Warsaw, [1862]. First year, issues 1-25. "periodical bringing news about all topics of interest concerning state matters, science, news from the world and nature". "HaZfira" – the first Hebrew newspaper in Poland during the Russian regime, and one of the most important Hebrew newspapers printed in Eastern Europe. Established in Warsaw in 1862, but the period's events – the Polish rebellion of 1863 and appointing the editor Slonimsky as supervisor of the Rabbis Beit Midrash in Zitomir, caused the discontinuation of the paper's appearance after only six months and 25 issues.
