Jacob Bodek ( Hebrew: יעקב בודק; 24 June 1819 – 18 July 1855) was a Galician Maskilic writer.
Jacob Bodek was born in Lemberg (now Lviv, Ukraine), where he spent most of his life.
Bodek was a leading member of Ha-Ro'im ('The Spectators'), a group of conservative Maskilim opposed to the "scientific" strand of the Haskalah. [1] Together with his brother-in-law, A. M. Mohr , he published a journal entitled Ha-ro'eh ve-mevaker sifre meḥavre zemanenu ('Spectator and Critic of Contemporary Works'; Lemberg, 1837), which contained polemical articles criticizing the work of Solomon Judah Rapoport, Samuel David Luzzatto, and Isaac Samuel Reggio. [2] Due to the efforts of Joshua Heschel Schorr and others, the work was banned in the Austrian Empire. [3] The second volume was thus published in Hungary under a separate title. [4]
Later, he published with Mohr a periodical entitled Yerushalayim ('Jerusalem'), which appeared at irregular intervals between 1844 and 1855. [5] The journal was less confrontational than Ha-ro'eh, and generally more sympathetic to Rapoport. [6] Bodek also republished with notes the chronicles of Abraham Trebitsch, Korot ha-ʻitim which cover the period from 1741 to 1801, and Korot nosafot, a continuation until the year 1850 (Lemberg, 1851). [7] His biography of his friend, Zvi Hirsch Chajes, appeared in Ha-Maggid (1857). [8]
Bodek died in Lemberg in the 1855 cholera pandemic. [4]
