Out of the Archives: Agnon Poem
by Kevin Schlottmann, Levy Processing Archivist, Center for Jewish History

The Ofra D. Core Collection of Center partner the Leo Baeck Institute contains a handwritten Hebrew poem by Nobel laureate Shmuel Yosef Agnon. It was written for Ofra’s husband David Core (born Uriel Bergmann, son of noted philosopher Hugo Bergmann) on the occasion of his Bar Mitzvah in 1935. 

The folder also includes a typescript version, a transliteration and an English translation of the poem. Click here to see more.
