Abraham Ber Gottlober
The Volhynia-born Abraham (Avraham) Ber Gottlober was an important Haskalah figure in Eastern Europe. A poet, satirist, playwright, historian, journalist, translator, and Talmud teacher, he wrote mainly in Hebrew and Yiddish. Despite his initial interest in Hasidism and Kabbalah, he became widely acquainted with Haskalah figures and philosophy in the course of his travels throughout Eastern Europe. When he lived briefly in Odessa, he also studied Karaite culture and literature. He chronicled tales from his youth in his Zikhronot u-masa‘ot.
