Zion (journal)


Zion was a quarterly peer-reviewed academic journal covering Jewish history and ethnography, printed in the Hebrew language and published between the years 1935-2013 by the Historical Society of Israel and the Zalman Shazar Center. The journal was founded by Yitzhak Baer and Benzion Dinur. Senior Israeli scholars, Michael Toch and Nadav Neeman, served as the journal's chief-editors. Back issues are available on JSTOR.
The journal was established in Jerusalem in 1935, but in the years 1926-1934 it appeared under the title Zion: Me’asef. Zion covers all aspects of Jewish history, drawn from all the lands in which Jews lived - in Israel and in the Diaspora, from antiquity to the modern era, including emerging studies in historiography, review essays, and book reviews. Zion is numbered among the academic journals frequently cited by scholars treating on ancient Jewish history.
