"HaMelitz" was the second Hebrew newspaper to be published in Tsarist Russia, during the years 1860-1904. Founded at the initiative of Alexander Halevi Zederbaum and edited by him, it became the central newspaper of the Jewish Enlightenment Movement in Eastern Europe, encouraging Hebrew creation, distributing the idea of national revival and later becoming the mouthpiece of the "Hibat Zion" movement. Over the years, the editorial staff of "HaMelitz" used to publish one-time supplements of literary articles and anthologies that were sent to the subscribers of the newspaper, including the present supplements.
