Summary/Abstract: The article analyzes bibliographical data on Metzuda, a revisionist magazine published in Hebrew in the 1930s. It clarifies ambiguities regarding the seat of the editorial board and the function of the editor himself. The information is provided in the context of the biography of Ajzik (Isaac) Remba (1907–1969), Metzuda’s edi tor-in-chief. Remba was a revisionist activist originally from Kolno. He belonged to the Warsaw leadership of Betar. He contributed to numerous party press titles and wrote for independent newspapers. From 1935, he worked for World Betar, while also serving as personal secretary to Ze’ev Jabotinsky. In 1940, he emigrated to Eretz Israel/Palestine. In Mandatory Palestine, and later in Israel, he worked in a succes sion of newspapers (including HaMashkif, HaBoker, Herut, Maariv) as a journalist, foreign correspondent, and editor. In 1969, he was awarded the Sokolov Prize. He died in Tel Aviv the same year. Metzuda’s deputy editor was Yaakov Simcha Peker/ Avidor (1906–1979), a native of Lyakhavichi, a rabbi and revisionist activist.
