Biography
David Gordon was born in 1826 in Podmeresche (near Vilna). Having received a traditional upbringing, he, under the influence of M. A. Gunzburg, began to intensively engage in self-education [2] [3] .
In 1850, D. Gordon moved to Liverpool , where he taught a foreign language and was very pressured. When Lazar Zilberman began publishing the first Jewish weekly Hamagid in 1856 [4] , he invited Gordon as an assistant editor. Having moved to the city of Lik (now Elk ) in 1858, David Gordon also helped him with the founding and work of the publishing and literary society Mekize Nirdamim [3] [5] [6] .
He edited Maggid Mischneh for some time (the Hamagid lettering ) and for several years published Lycker Anzeiger in German three times a week. After the death of Zilberman (1882), Gordon became the editor of Hamagid and, being in this position, he was known as one of the pioneers of the Palestinian movement [3] [7] .
In 1871, he published in Hamagid a series of articles on the colonization of Palestine by Jews as the basis for the future political revival of Jewry. In addition to a number of biographies posted in Hamagid and its appendix, Gordon published: Maasse Israel, a description of the journey of Benjamin II (Luke, 1854); “Milchemet ba-Or weha-Choschech” process of S. Brunner and I. Curanda in Vienna (with German, ib., 1860); “Moscheh bi-Jeruschalajim,” Montefiore’s trip to Palestine (English, ib., 1867); “Darke ha-Refuah” (a popular essay on medicine and hygiene, part I, ib., 1870). The Jewish edition of Dialoghi di Amore by Leon Abrabanel, released in 1870, Gordon provided the latter with a biography. In the years 1881-1882. he placed in the Jewish Chronicle a series of articles under the general title Narrative from the Borders on the persecution of Jews in the Russian Empire [3] .
David Gordon died in 1886 in Lyc.
