Joseph Elijah Triwosch (Yiddish: יוסף אליהו טריוואש; 18 January 1856 – 1940) was Russian Hebrew writer, poet, translator, and biblical commentator.
Triwosch was born in Vilna, and settled at Grodno as a teacher of Hebrew and Russian. His literary activity began in 1873, in which year he published in Ha-Levanon his first articles. Most of his novels, representing Jewish life in Russia, were published in various periodicals. They include Toḥelet nikzabah and Ha-lito'i, in Ha-Shaḥar; Bi-mekom zava'ah, in Ha-Karmel; and Al shete ha-se'ippim, in Ha-Asif. Among his other publications were Dor tahapukot (Warsaw, 1881), which describes the activity of the Russian Social-Democrats, Din ve-ḥeshbon (1895), and Pesi'ot ketanot (1904).[1] He also translated various works of literature into Hebrew, including War and Peace and Anna Karenina,[2] published an anthology of medieval Hebrew literature (1925), and co-edited the Mikra Meforash series.[1]
