In 1898, at the Zionist Congress in Basel, Max Nordau declared on "Muscular Jewry" for the development of the body as part of the idea of the Zionist movement. In the same year, forty-eight young Zionists met in Berlin and founded the "Bar Kochva" club in order to fulfill Nordau's idea in practice. And Indeed, after a few years "Bar Kochba" Berlin became a sports association with the slogan "a healthy mind in a healthy body". Until the First World War, twelve cities in Germany established "Bar Kochba" associations that engaged in the various sports: gymnastics, athletics, tennis, swimming, boxing and wrestling, soccer, women's sports, winter sports and even rowing in boats in the lakes near Berlin. The magazine before us accompanied the association's activities with regular reports on its activities, articles, and photographs of the youth who represented Hebrew sports in Germany in its early years.
In the 1902 issues, the covers are detached. The 1908 issues are bound in an original cover with gilt lettering. general condition good.
