1788–1860, thinker and teacher; considered by some as the father of the East European Haskalah. Born in Kremenets, Ukraine, where he received a traditional Jewish education, Yitsḥak Ber Levinzon (Isaac Baer Levinsohn; known also as Ribal) married a woman from the town of Radzhivilov in 1807 and lived there until 1812. He learned Russian, German, French, and Latin and served as an official interpreter for the Russian army.

In 1813 Levinzon went to Galicia, first to Brody and then to Lwów, Tarnopol, and Żołkiew (mod. Zhovkva, Ukr.). In these places he became acquainted with some of the leading figures of the Haskalah—including Yehudah Leib Mieses, Shelomoh Yehudah Rapoport, Yitsḥak Erter, Menaḥem Mendel Lefin, Naḥman Krochmal, Me’ir Letteris, Ya‘akov Shemu’el Bick, Shimshon Bloch, and Berish Blumenfeld—who greatly influenced his worldview.
