A native of Nemiskert, Hungary, Benjamin Szold (1829-1902) studied as a young man at the Pressburg Yeshivah under the leadership Rabbi Benjamin Wolf. Later, Szold came under the influence of Z. Frankel, H. Graetz and J. Bernays at the Breslau Rabbinical Seminary. In 1858, Szold accepted an invitation to become Rabbi in Baltimore, where he led Congregation Oheb Shalom to be one of the foremost synagogues in the United States. His daughter, Henrietta Szold (1860-1945) founded the Hadassah Women's Organization and Youth Aliyah. See EJ, Vol. XV, cols. 664-5
