His spiritual and literary growth was significantly influenced by his older brother, Aaron, a Bratzlaver Hasid whose personality and mysticism are echoed in the character of Luzi in Der Nister's greatest work, Di Mishpokhe Mashber, vol.
1, Moscow, 1939; vol. 2, New York, 1948). In his youth Der Nister was associated with Zionist socialist circles. Some evidence of this association and possibly of his attendance at the Poalei Zion conference of 1905 as well as of his impression of Ber Borochov at the conference can be found in the novel Fun Finften Yor, which remained in manuscript form in his literary legacy and was published in Sovetish Heymland (January 1964).
