The Israelite
View through CrossRef
This chapter examines the role played by the Israelite in establishing Wise as a leader of American Jewry. The Israelite was a newspaper, of which Wise became the editor in addition to his responsibilities as a preacher. It carried his voice throughout the land, and made some people fear his censure and others curry his favour. It brought him callers and information from all parts. And, as in those days many railways provided free passes for newspaper editors, it gave him the means of undertaking the many journeys to distant congregations which did so much to enhance his influence among the communities of the South and the West.
