Avraham Sharon ((ヘブライ語:אברהם שרון); September 10, 1878 – October 17, 1957) was an Israeli philosopher, musician, scholar and publicist. Sharon established the Autographs and Portraits Collection in the National Library of Israel. ==Biography== Avraham Sharon was born under the name of Abraham Schwadron on September 10, 1878 in the village of Bieniów (now called Zolochivka),〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Бенів (Золочівка) )〕 near Zolochiv in Galicia (then a part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire). His parents were Isaac Schwadron, a beverage manufacturer, and Rivka Gelernter. In his childhood he studied with his uncle, Sholom Mordechai Schwadron (the Rabbi of Berezhany) and later on in the Jewish Gymnasium in Suceava. Growing up, Sharon studied in the University of Vienna, where he received three doctoral degrees – in philosophy, law, and chemistry – the latter a profession he studied so he could help his father in his factory. He established the Zionist Association in Zolochiv, studied Hebrew literature and Jewish history, and was member of HaTehiya ("rebirth"), an association established by Jewish students who spoke among themselves solely in Hebrew. In 1914 he moved to Vienna, fleeing from the Russian army that invaded Galicia, and there he published his first philosophical essay (''De Nature Stalibus'') and additional essays in the ''Osterreichische Wochenschrift'' newspaper, edited by Joseph Samuel Bloch. Despite being a pacifist, Schwadron enlisted to the Austro-Hungarian Army in World War I. All through his military service he wrote about his impressions from the front line in ''Osterreichische Wochenschrift'' at the request of Bloch. During that time he also tended to the "Heroic Zionism" idea, sweeping along all his friends, including David Horowitz, who described him in his diaries as being one of the designers of the Jewish pioneering school of thought.〔Moshe Yeger, ''Dr. Abraham Sharon (Schwadron) – Portrait of a Jerusalemite'', Jerusalem 15 (2), Hebrew Writers Association of Jerusalem, 1981 (follows: ”Yeger, Portrait”) page 80.〕 At the end of the war, he changed his last name to Sharon and was, for a short time, politically active in the Hapoel Hatzair youth group in Vienna. In 1927 he made aliyah and started working, full-time, managing his Autographs and Portraits Collection, which he donated to the National Library of Israel. He also started studying music and composed melodies for nine poems by Rachel. In a Jewish music concert held on November 14, 1935 in the Edison Theater in Jerusalem, three of Sharon's compositions were performed, together with works of Felix Mendelssohn, Ernest Bloch, Joel Engel and others. Sharon also wrote children's stories, literary criticism, articles and philosophical essays. He translated Hayim Nahman Bialik's ''The City of Slaughter'' to German, and regularly published booklets dealing with current events, handing them out to all his acquaintances, and letters to the editor. In 1935 Sharon was married to Gina Freudenberg. There was a large age difference between them, and it was not a happy marriage.〔Yeger, Portrait, Page 84〕 They had one son, Isaac. In 1950, Gina moved to the United States with their son, while Sharon remained in Jerusalem. He threw himself into work, spending most of his days in the National Library, appearing to his acquaintances as an unkempt eccentric.〔Yeger, Portrait, Page 79〕 Sharon was highly involved in the issues concerning the Jewish people, their mission and situation, the Zionist movement, settling the land, and the State of Israel. He was a great proponent of Hebrew labor (he mockingly called Arab work ''Avodah Zara'', a pun on idolatry in Judaism), and the fulfillment of the Zionist vision. He sympathized with the radical elements of Beitar and Lehi, and participated in the Jewish Work Guards—an organization whose members stood at the gates of orchards, blocking entrance of Arab workers. However, Sharon was not a supporter of any political party and defined himself as "anti-partisan". In his articles and letters he attacked public figures across the political board, but supported and sponsored David Ben-Gurion as realizer of Zionism. In spite of the radical line of Sharon's articles, they were favorably accepted even among those who opposed his views. Berl Katznelson, the editor of ''Davar'', helped him by printing some of his articles and booklets. Dov Sadan wanted to write a monograph about him and Menachem Ussishkin published articles supportive of his ideas. Since he made aliyah, Sharon never left Israel. In his last years he wanted to visit his son in the USA, but could not afford it due to his financial status. On September 12, 1957, he was run over while crossing Strauss Street in Jerusalem.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=ארכיון ActivePaper )〕 He was wounded and hospitalized in the Bikur Holim Hospital and died a few weeks later. He was buried, according to his wish, in the Sephardi lot in Har HaMenuchot. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Avraham Sharon」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
