J.D. Eisenstein: Rabbi Julius (Yehudah David) Eisenstein (November 12, 1854–May 17, 1956) was a Russian-American writer born in Mi?dzyrzecz, government of Siedlec, Russian Poland. While in Poland, he was educated in Talmud by his grandfather, Rabbi Azriel Zelig.

Rabbi Julius emigrated in 1872 to the United States at the age of 17, settled in New York, and married the following year. He became a successful businessman, but lost much of his fortune in a failed effort to establish an agricultural colony for Jewish immigrants in New Jersey.

Eisenstein was a lover of the Hebrew language, and established America's first society for the Hebrew language, called Shocharei Sfat Ever. He was also the first to translate into Hebrew and Yiddish the Constitution of the United States (New York, 1891).

He also made an attempt to translate and explain a modified text of the Shulchan Aruch. Eisenstein took a prominent part in the controversy concerning the Kolel America, a society for the collection of funds for the poor Jews of Palestine, and was one of the leaders in the movement to arrange that the money contributed in the United States should go primarily to former residents of America. In Ha-Modia'la-Chadashim (New York) for 1901 he published, under the title Le-korot Gole Russiya be-America, a sketch of the history of Russo-Jewish emigration to America. His History of the First Russo-American Jewish Congregation appeared in No. 9 of the Publications of the Am. Jew. Hist. Soc., 1901.
