Biography


Volf's father was a house painter and his mother was a housewife.[6] He was the fourth child in his family.[6] He was sent to cheder at age four, but quickly left after being shocked by the way the rabbi treated the children, after which he was taught privately at home by a melamed.[6] Later on he would study at a secular Jewish folk school in Vilnius and attend a youth camp for weak children; throughout this period he kept a large distance from other children and did not have many friends.[6] Already in school he was considered to be an excellent writer and an avid reader.[6]
