The oldest and most important Jewish newspaper, Der Weg (El Camino), has ceased publication because of the difficulty in finding a replacement for its editor, Chaim Lazdeiski, who is imigrating to Israel. The paper was founded in January 1940 by the late Moises Rosenberg and appeared two or three times a week until 1976 when its then publisher, Eliezer Rochman, died. It subsequently became a weekly and appeared every Saturday under Lazdeiski’s editorship. Only the Yiddish weekly, Di Shtime, continues publication in Mexico City.
