In 1930, Zalman Dameshek graduated from the Municipal Jewish Gymnasium in Dvinsk. In 1932, he completed a two-year State Pedagogical Course in Riga. In 1931, he began working as a provisional teacher of Yiddish, Hebrew, and geography. From October 1931 to August 1933, he served as head of the private Jewish primary school “Ivrit,” operated by the Latvian Jewish Parents’ Society in Daugavpils.
