Jacob Steinberg
Encyclopedia : J : JA : JAC : Jacob Steinberg
Jacob Steinberg, a major Israeli poet, was born in Ukraine in 1887 and made his migration to Palestine (Eretz Yisrael, Land of Israel) in 1915. He left in 1922 but returned in 1924. He died in 1947. He defied trends in two significant ways: His poetry was individualistic rather than nationalistic, and he wrote in the Ashkenazic dialect rather than the Sephardic. His two most famous poems are "Not an enclosed Garden" and "Confession."
