Jewish Criterion
The Jewish Criterion (OCLC 2262915) whose editors have included Rabbi Levy and Charles H. Joseph, was one of two weekly papers for Jews in Pittsburgh. It was published from 1895-1962, with the initial editor being M.K. Susman. WorldCat annotates it as the "Oldest English printed Jewish weekly representing Western Pennsylvania, Eastern Ohio and West Virginia Jewry" [1]
A 1914 advertisement from the paper was used to substantiate the etymology of the word "pastrami." The Oxford English Dictionary[2] quotes:
- Sardines and pimentos‥.Pastrami‥. Rye bread [etc.]
