FASCINATING FACTS IN JEWISH HISTORY Rav Shimshon Raphael (ben Raphael Aryeh) Hirsch, Frankfurt am Main, Germany (1808-1888) was the grandson of Rav Men-achem Mendel Frankfurter of Altuna, Rav of the three famous communities of Altuna, Hamburg, and Wandsbeck (“AHU”). Hirsch was a pupil of Ḥakam Bernays, and the Torah education which he received, combined with his teacher's influence, led him to determine not to become a merchant, as his parents had desired, but to choose the rabbinical vocation. In further-ance of this plan, he studied Talmud from 1823 to 1829 in Mannheim under Jacob Ettlinger. He then entered the Univer-

sity of Bonn, where he studied together with his future antagonist, Abraham Geiger, the founder of Reform Judaism. The two of them founded what would today be consid-ered a Hillel house on campus. In 1830 Hirsch was elected chief rabbi of Oldenburg, where he remained until 1841, when he was elected chief rabbi of the Hanoverian districts of Aurich and Osnabrück, with his residence in Emden. During this period, he wrote his classic Nineteen Letters on Judaism which were published under a pseudonym. This work made a profound impression in German Jewish circles because it was something new—a brilliant, intel-lectual presentation of Orthodox Judaism in classic German, and a fearless, uncompro-mising defense of all its institutions and ordinances. From the appearance of the "Nineteen Letters" dates the origin of the so-called "Neo-Orthodoxy," or the revival of Orthodox Judaism in somewhat modernized and esthetic form. In 1846 Hirsch was called to the rabbinate of Nikolsburg in Moravia, and in 1847 he became chief rabbi of Moravia and Austrian Silesia. In Austria he passed five years in the reorganization of the Jewish congregations and the instruction of numerous disci-ples; he was also, in his official capacity as chief rabbi, a member of the Moravian Land-tag or General Assembly. In 1851 he accepted a call as Rabbi of an Orthodox separatist group in Frankfort-on-Main, who refused to become part of the dominant Reform community. Under his ad-ministration this group became a great congregation, numbering about 500 families. Here Hirsch continued to labor until his death. It was in Frankfurt that Hircsh created the living model of his credo of Torah, Im Derech Eretz. Based on the mishna in the Ethics of the Fathers, Hirsch taught that Torah can thrive under any Derech Eretz pre-vailing environment. Rabbi Samson Raphael Hirsh passed away on 27 Teves 1880. His books are as fresh as if they had been written yesterday.
