Abstract

This article is dedicated to the outstanding figure of Russian-Jewish culture, poet, translator, publisher, and prominent Zionist, Leib Jaffe. The author's main focus is on an unpublished letter from thehistorian of philosophy and culture, translator, and musicologist, Yevsey Shor, to Leib Jaffe. Jaffe and Shor most likely met in Russia, but their closer relationship developed after both repatriated to Palestine: Jaffe in 1920 and Shor in the late 1934. Shor's letter, dated to the first half of the 1940s, addresses the pressing issue of the spiritual tasks and prospects for the development of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. The letter primarily reflects questions about the cultural shaping of the Israeli state before its official establishment.
