SHMARYAHU
HAKOHEN MARGOLIS (b. October 16, 1896)
He was born in Jerusalem and studied
in the “Ets Ḥayim”
(Tree of life) yeshiva. In his early
youth, he joined with the national religious movement. At the time of WWI, he was exiled by the
Turkish authorities as an “enemy subject,” and from Egypt he made his way to
the United States. He began as a clerk
in the New York Mizrachi Center and later became secretary of the Mizrachi
organization and secretary to Rabbi Meyer Berlin (Bar Ilan). In 1947 he returned to Jerusalem. After the emergence of the state of Israel,
he worked in the Ministry of Religion.
He wrote articles for: Morgn-zhurnal
(Morning journal), Der mizrakhi-veg
(The Mizrachi way), and Yorbukh fun di
bney erets yisroel (Yearbook of the children of the land of Israel)—all published
in New York. He was last living in
Jerusalem.
