Meshulam Zalman Goldbaum ( Hebrew: משולם זלמן גולדבוים, romanized: Meshulam Zalman Goldboym; 1 January 1836 – 2 November 1915) [1] was a Galician Hebrew poet and playwright.
Goldbaum was born in Lvov, where he was raised among Maskilim. He began writing poems at a young age, the earliest of which were published in Naḥman Isaac Fischmann's Safah la-ne’emanim in 1854. He received a letter of thanks from Napoleon III for an occasional poem celebrating the Treaty of Paris. [1]
In 1857 he moved to Iași, where he founded a school for Jewish children. [1] While there he published articles in German and French on the rights of Romanian Jews. [2] He was an active Freemason, and published a tragedy inspired by the Masonic movement, Yedidya ha-Isi (Iași, 1873). [3]
After thirty years as an educator in Romania, he returned in 1888 to his hometown. [2] He continued publishing poetry, some of which he collected in his book Sefer ha-shirim (Lviv, 1887). He lived his final years in solitude, and died in Prague as a refugee of the First World War in November 1915. [4]
