Solomon Salkind (Hebrew: שלמה זלמן בן־יהושע זאלקינד; c. 1802 – March 14, 1868) was a Lithuanian Hebrew poet and educator.
In 1841, together with Mordecai Aaron Günzburg, Salkind founded the first secular Jewish school in Lithuania.[2] In 1847, he was appointed lecturer at the newly established Vilna Rabbinical Seminary, where he remained until his death.[3]
His literary contributions include the poetry collections Shirim li-Shelomoh (Vilna, 1842), containing poems adaptated from other languages, as well as Ḳol Shelomoh (Vilna, 1858) and Shema' Shelomoh (Vilna, 1866).[4][5] Many of Salkind's Hebrew speeches were published in the Ḳovetz Derushim (Vilna, 1864), a collection of addresses by teachers of the Seminary, published with the support of the Russian government.[6] He also published numerous articles in Pirḥe tsafon, Hakarmel and Hamagid.[3]
According to some accounts, Salkind's son was Isaac Edward Salkinson, who converted to Protestantism and became a missionary to the Jews.[7]
