Abram Poljak

 Abram Poljak

Abram (Bram) Poljak (1900–1963) was a Ukranian-born, Orthodox Jew. A musical prodigy, Poljak played violin for the Czar at the age of eight. As a young man, he moved to Germany and took work as a journalist. The writings of Leo Tolstoy brought him to faith in Yeshua. After a miraculous release from a Nazi prison, he immigrated to Israel between the wars and contributed to the pioneering of the twentieth-century Messianic Jewish movement there and abroad.
