Saul Raphael (also spelled Rafael) Landau (Hebrew: שאול רפאל לנדאו; 1870–1943)[1][2] was a Polish Jewish lawyer, journalist, publicist and Zionist activist.
Life
Landau was born in 1870 in Kraków.[3]
Between 1893 and 1895 he lectured in Polish language and literature at the newly opened Israelitisch-Theologische Lehranstalt [he] (Israelite Theological School) in Vienna. In February 1896, he became acquainted with Theodor Herzl and became an enthusiastic colleague of his and for a short time one of his closest confidants. He took over the editing of the Zionist weekly Die Welt, which appeared for the first time on 4 June 1897. At the same time, he became a correspondent for the London weekly Jewish Chronicle. After tensions developed between Landau and Herzl, he had to hand over the editorial management of Die Welt to Siegmund Werner [de] in October 1897. In May 1898, Landau founded an independent socialist Zionist organization called "Achwah" (Hebrew: אחווה, lit. 'the Brotherhood') and as its organ, the monthly Der jüdische Arbeiter (August 1898 to June 1899). In 1907, he began to publish the Neue National-Zeitung (as a continuation of the Jüdisch Volksblatt) until 1916, when he was drafted into military service. From 1900 and after, he worked mainly as a lawyer. In 1938, he emigrated to London and in 1941 to the United States.[3]
He died on 16 July 1943, in New York City.[3]
