He contributed to a variety of Yiddish periodicals and published his poetry and stories. During World War I he joined the "Zion Mule Corps" (the Jewish Legion) founded by Joseph Trumpeldor and Vladimir Jabotinsky. Enrico Glicenstein (Enoch Hendryk Glicenstein)(Turek, Poland 24 May 1870 - New York, 30 December 1942) was a Polish-born sculptor who lived in Italy and the United States. Glicenstein initially showed interest in being a rabbi whilst working in Lodz painting signs and carving wood. After studying in Munich at the Royal Bavarian Academy of Art he married Helena Hirszenberg in 1896. The couple lived in Rome where he adopted the name "Enrico" and became an Italian citizen. In 1906 he returned from a trip to Germany and exhibited his paintings there until World War I broke out and he moved his family to Poland. He took over the Chair belonging to Xawery Dunikowski at the University of Warsaw in 1910. At the end of the war the family lived in Switzerland until they immigrated to London in 1920. During the next eight years he exhibited first in London and later in Rome and Venice. He immigrated to the United States in 1928 and died in a car accident in 1942. His son became a notable painter and lived in Safed in Israel. The Glicenstein Museum was founded in Safed, Israel and in 1985 became the Israel Bible Museum. Many of his sculptures are still displayed there. Glicenstein's works are found in a number of collections including the Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris and the Pompidou Centre, the Israel Museum, the Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Moderna in Rome, the Krakow and the Warsaw National Museum, the Brooklyn Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.
