Lithuanian rabbi and educator (c. 1802–1868)
Solomon Salkind (Hebrew : שלמה זלמן בן־יהושע זאלקינד ; c. 1802 – March 14, 1868) was a Lithuanian Hebrew poet and educator.
In 1841, together with Mordecai Aaron Günzburg , Salkind founded the first secular Jewish school in Lithuania.[ 2] In 1847, he was appointed lecturer at the newly established Vilna Rabbinical Seminary , where he remained until his death.[ 3]
His literary contributions include the poetry collections Shirim li-Shelomoh (Vilna, 1842), containing poems adaptated from other languages, as well as Ḳol Shelomoh (Vilna, 1858) and Shema' Shelomoh (Vilna, 1866).[ 4] [ 5] Many of Salkind's Hebrew speeches were published in the Ḳovetz Derushim (Vilna, 1864), a collection of addresses by teachers of the Seminary, published with the support of the Russian government.[ 6] He also published numerous articles in Pirḥe tsafon , Hakarmel and Hamagid .[ 3]
According to some accounts, Salkind's son was Isaac Edward Salkinson , who converted to Protestantism and became a missionary to the Jews .[ 7]
