The “Hazefirah”, the only Hebrew daily newspaper, appearing outside Palestine has stopped publication, on account of financial difficulties.

The “Hazefirah” started publication in 1862, and continued to appear regularly till the War, being for many years under the editorship of Mr. Nahum Sokolov, the President of the Zionist Organisation. In 1925 a Hebrew daily started publication in Warsaw under the title “Kayim”, but it was not able to continue for more than a year, Shortly after its suspension, in 1926, the “Hazefirah” was restarted, but it had to be closed down again in August, 1928. A publication fund was then raised, and the paper was renewed in the early part of the present year, but it has not been able to continue for more than a few months.
