Ephraim Raskin
1847–1928
Born in Shklov, Russian Empire (today Shkloŭ, Belarus), Ephraim Raskin was a bookseller and printer in Warsaw. He published popular Yiddish calendars that included Gregorian, Julian, and Hebrew dates, jokes, notes on historic events, and other entertaining supplemental texts. In addition, Raskin printed a number of useful handbooks, ranging from French phrasebooks to personal finance guides to homemaking and cookery books. A childhood friend of Peretz Smolenskin, he was active in Ḥoveve Tsiyon and was a founder of Agudat ha-elef, a First Aliyah–era colonization association that helped establish the moshava of Rehovot, now a city in Israel. He died in Warsaw.
