Detailed
Description		    Abraham Golomb (1888–1982), Yiddish writer and educator. Born in Lithuania, Golomb studied at yeshivot and at the University of Kiev. After teaching in Russia, he directed schools in Israel, Canada, and Mexico City. In his hundreds of articles and several volumes he expounded his ideology, "Integral Jewishness," which includes the language, festivals, religious observances, family relationships, and ideals of the Jews. This collective experience, he contends, is essential for the continued existence of the Jewish people. Like Dubnow and Ahad Ha-Am, Golomb stresses the need for retaining Jewish distinctiveness in the Diaspora, holding that this will remain a continuing fact of Jewish historic life, no matter how much the Jewish center in Israel grows. Golomb called for maximum efforts to retain both Yiddish and Hebrew as national languages of the Jewish people. Diaspora communities which were giving up Yiddish and adopting alien tongues were becoming fossilized, incapable of future growth. Without Yiddish, the Jews outside Israel would be fragmentized into scattered dying remnants of a people. He asked for canonization of the finest products of the Yiddish language, as had been done with earlier holy works in Hebrew. Golomb enriched the Yiddish vocabulary of science and psychology. He supplemented his theoretical discourses with practical classroom texts. His selected works Geklibene Shriftn appeared in six volumes (1945–48).
