Eliezer Schindler (1892-1957) was one of the preeminent religious poets of pre-War Eastern Europe. In 1938 he emigrated to America and became a farmer near Lakewood, NJ. Greatly influenced by Nathan Birnbaum, his writings, full of yearning, were particularly popular in the Beth Jacob movement. The author’s son, Alexander M. Schindler (1925–2000), was a leading figure of American Reform Judaism.
