Isaac Bashevis Singer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Singer grew up in the Yiddish-speaking poor Jewish quarter of Warsaw, where his father acted as a rabbi, judge, and spiritual leader, and in Bilgoraj, a traditional Jewish village or shtetl. |
 | | Singer entered in 1920 the Tachkemoni Rabbinical Seminary, but then returned to Bilgoraj, where he supported himself by giving Hebrew lessons. |
 | | Though his rabbinical studies would remain a strong influence on him, he longed to be a part of a literary community. |
