Baruch Werber ( Hebrew: ברוך ווערבער; 1810, Brody – 31 July 1876, Brody) was a Galician Jewish Hebraist, author, publisher, and editor.
Werber, who was a follower of Isaac Erter and Nachman Krochmal, began his literary career writing for the Hebrew weekly Ha-Mevasser. [1] In 1865 he founded his own Hebrew weekly, which was published in Brody until 1890 under the names of Ha-Ivri ( lit. 'The Hebrew') and Ivri Anokhi ( lit. 'I Am a Hebrew'). [2] In addition to numerous articles which appeared in this magazine, Werber wrote Megillat Kohelet (Lemberg, 1862; 2d ed., Warsaw, 1876), an introduction and commentary to Ecclesiastes, and Toledot Adam (Brody, 1870), a biography of Albert Cohn.
