Overview
The first seeds of the Haskalah movement were brought to the Vitebsk yeshiva by a young man who wasn’t a student but had merely visited and sat in on the Talmud lesson. This man, the son-in-law of the town’s wealthiest resident, reckoned himself a genius in Talmudic learning, yet he was a secret Maskil, or follower of the Haskalah. He owned a considerable library of enlightened Hebrew and German books. Outwardly, he lived in the style expected of a son-in-law of the town’s tycoon: he played the role of a diligent scholar who was financially provided for by his father-in-law.
