Bibliography of Rabbi Julius T. Loeb's Writings

Rabbi Julius T. Loeb (Yehuda Leib Tukachinsky) was a prolific writer. Despite his literary activity, he never published a book. Instead, he chose to write articles and letters to the editor of his local newspapers. Though he never published his lecture notes, many excerpts of his moving addresses were printed in local papers. 

I intend to include all articles and letters to the editor written directly by Rabbi Loeb, any subtantial reproductions of his sermons, and any translations that he was credited with.

At the moment, I only have access digitized newspapers that are available freely online or through public library subscriptions. I know that Rabbi Loeb definitely wrote more than I have been able to locate, since many of the papers he likely wrote in have not been digitized or were lost to time.

As I locate more of his writings, I will try to update this list. Of course let me know if any of the links are broken.
