[Judah Leon Gordon] was one of the leaders in the renaissance of a progressive culture among the Jews (see Haskalah ) and he was an indefatigable foe of obscurantism. His historical poems were followed by satirical works attacking the severity of traditional Judaism. He wrote in incomparable classical Hebrew, and in Russian, Yiddish, and German as well.
