Abstract:
This paper traces the friendship and intellectual collaboration of Marcus Ehrenpreis, chief rabbi of Bulgaria in the years 1900–1914, with Pencho Slaveykov and Mara Belcheva, leading Bulgarian poets of the turn of the twentieth century, and, through them, Ehrenpreis’ involvement in the Bulgarian literary circle Misal. It examines the mutual knowledge transfer, enrichment, and inspiration between two cultural and religious spheres which have largely been looked at separately and in isolation, and it shows how Ehrenpreis could mediate between this Bulgarian literary avantgarde and the young and budding Hebrew literature to tease out their commonalities.
