Question

Give the character sketch of Dr. Solomon Margolin.​

Answer 1

The Zionists had appointed him to a committee; Dr Solomon was a board member of a Jewish scholastic society; he had become co-editor of an academic Jewish quarterly. And though he often referred to himself as an agnostic and even an atheist, nevertheless for years he had been dragging Gretl to Seders at Abraham Mekheles’, a Landsman from Sencimin. Dr Margolin treated rabbis, refugees, and Jewish writers without charge, supplying them with medicines and, if necessary, a hospital bed. He had gone regularly to the meetings of the Senciminer Society, had accepted positions in their ranks, and had attended all the parties.
