 Creator:  Rocker, Samuel 
 Dates:  1910-1984 
 Abstract:  Samuel Rocker founded and served as editor and publisher of a Yiddish newspaper, The Jewish World (Die Yiddishe Velt), in Cleveland, Ohio. Born in Galicia, he studied for the rabbinate and immigrated to the United States in 1891. In 1898, he established the first Jewish print shop in Cleveland. In 1908 he founded The Jewish Daily Press (Die Yiddishe Tegliche Presse) with partners Adolph Hass and Jonas Gross. After disagreement with his business partners a few years later, he founded The Jewish World. In 1914, the two newspapers merged with Rocker as editor and eventually, sole owner. In 1938, the first English edition was published. Rocker remained editor and publisher of The Jewish World until his death in 1936. He was also active in the Cleveland Jewish community, particularly with the Cleveland Hebrew Schools, the Hebrew Free Loan Association, the Council Educational Alliance, Mt. Sinai Hospital, and the Zionist movement. The collection consists of correspondence, newspaper articles, and memoirs.
