YOSEF GINZBURG

YOSEF GINZBURG
            He was born Tshaus, Mogilev region, Russia.  He published in Warsaw in 1887 an immense treatise, entitled Itim levina (Times to understand), a compilation concerned with the Jewish calendar, with tables and explanations in Hebrew-Aramaic as well as in Yiddish.  Zalmen Reyzen found it worth noting that “both this work itself and its tables are full of errors and inaccuracies.”
