On the occasion of the seventieth anniversary of the death of Isaac Baer Lewinsohn, famous Hebrew scholar and writer of Russia, one of the founders of the movement for “Haskalah,” or enlightenment among Russian Jewry a century ago, a committee was organized yesterday in Lewinsohn’s birthplace, Kremenetz, now in Poland, for the purpose of converting the house in which he lived into a Jewish National Museum.
