This chapter discusses the periodical, the Asmonean. The Asmonean began publication in 1849. Its attitude to Isaac Mayer Wise during the strife at Beth El had been reserved — its quest for straightforward answers to plain questions Wise was ready to attribute to a conspiracy against him. Wise was not one to allow rancour over the past to get the better of him if he could come to an agreement as regards the present; and the Asmonean, for its part, was more concerned to cater for all tastes than to make a stand on issues of policy. Furthermore, Wise’s Asmonean articles display all the rough energy of Young America. It was harnessed first to the author’s voracious appetite for reading, and then to the need, no less compelling, to feed the press week by week. Equally apparent is that the material was not properly digested nor subject to the scrutiny of a tutored mind.

Young America

This chapter describes Isaac Mayer Wise’s first impressions of America as he disembarked, and the impression made by his arrival. When he established himself in Cincinnati in 1854, Wise began to publish two weeklies, for both of which he wrote profusely. For the 1846–1854 period, the chronicle is less ample, but he did figure in such other Jewish periodicals as appeared at that time, and in other records, for example, of synagogues. In 1874–1875, Wise wrote Reminiscences, which began with his arrival in New York and broke off abruptly with the publication of his prayer-book Minhag America in 1857. Naturally, they form the principal guiding lines for a sketch of his career during these eleven years.
