AI notes: "Jutrzenka" was a Polish-language weekly newspaper published in Warsaw from 1861 to 1863, founded by the Jewish educator and writer Daniel Neufeld. Its title, meaning "Morning Star," reflected its mission to enlighten and inform the Jewish community in Russian-controlled Congress Poland, promoting Polish language, culture, and modern education. The newspaper was progressive and reformist, featuring articles on Jewish enlightenment, social issues, and the integration of Jews into broader Polish society. It became part of a larger intellectual movement advocating modernization and cultural engagement, but its reformist stance drew the ire of the Russian authorities, who suppressed the publication during the January Uprising of 1863 and exiled Neufeld to Siberia. Despite its short run, "Jutrzenka" is recognized as one of the earliest Jewish periodicals in Polish, leaving a lasting legacy preserved in historical archives.
