MORTKHE ROZENSHTEYN
He was
born in Balbirishok (Balbieriškis), Lithuania. In his youth he lived in Slonim. He was a master of the Talmud. He lived for twenty years in London, where in
1886 he published one of the first Yiddish serials in England, Bashitser des yudenthums (Protector of
Judaism): “This is a new newspaper, which the times deem to be necessary…. Mainly, for those who are interested in Judaism.” Only two issues appeared in print. He left for the United States, and that is
where he died.
