Summary/Abstract: The enthusiastic report by József Patai, "At the Center of Jewish Culture", written in 1919, provides a snapshot of Berlin at the rare moment when Germany, following the Bolshevik revolution, gave shelter to nearly half a million refugees, among them the leading representatives of modern Hebrew literature. As a result of this, for a couple of years, before these people settled in Palestine, Berlin was the center of Hebrew literature. Patai´s piece is all the more relevant today because the phenomenon has repeated itself.
