The illustrated monthly, Altneuland (same name as Herzl's book) deals with matters relating to Eretz Israel and was intended to familiarize Jews in Poland with Jewish Life in Israel. It started as a monthly in 1919, became a bi-weekly, and ceased publication in 1925. Avraham Itzhak Triwaks was a journalist, Hebrew and Yiddish author, publisher and book distributor in Warsaw and Israel. At age 9 he and his family immigrated to Eretz Israel, where as an adult he served as the correspondent in Eretz Israel for the Warsaw daily Unser Leben. He traveled to Russia in 1910, lived for a while in the city Rovno (Rowne in Polish, now known as Rivne) in Wolyn in western Ukraine. He then settled in Warsaw, was a member of the administration of the dailies Haint and Dos Yidishe Folk, and he published hundreds of articles about Eretz Israel in the Di Yidish Vokh and the Hebrew newspaper Hatzfira. He traveled through cities in Poland and the Ukraine to organize the distribution of Yiddish and Hebrew works by the publisher Central Merkaz that was founded in 1911. In 1916 while in Warsaw that was under German occupation (WWI), he published a Yiddish German dictionary as an aid to the Jewish population, but only the Yiddish to German volume was published. In 1917 he began to publish a pocket dictionary in Yiddish of which the first 4 volumes were published. He settled permanently in Eretz Israel in 1924. His literary and publishing activities deserve a book in and of itself. N° de ref. del artículo 015993
