Solomon Schechters copy with his presentation bookplate. Harold Marcus Wiener (1875-1929) was a British-born Jerusalem lawyer and bible scholar who was killed in the 1929 riots in Palestine. His entire estate was bequeathed to the Spanish and Portugese Jews' Congregation of London. Mordechai Ben Katharina Mayer Wiener was born into a privileged Anglo-Jewish family, received his legal education at Cambridge University and became a renowned British lawyer. But he became more famous as a Bible scholar focused on the legal aspects of Bible study. In 1923 he immigrated to Israel, "to better understand the Bible, to retreat from public life, and to focus on his studies. He lived in Jerusalem near Herods Gate, and became close to the Arab population, and he funded scholarships for Arab students at the American University in Beirut. On the outbreak of the 1929 riots, he was at home with 2 Jewish workers who were renovating his home. Wiener drove them in his car back toward the Jewish neighborhoods, but the three passengers were killed in the Damascus Gate. Wiener was buried in a mass grave along with 15 others killed in the first part of the riots (Wikipedia 2015) . SUBJECT(S) : Bible.
