Isaac Mayer Wise (1819–1900), founder of the major institutions of Reform Judaism in America, was a man of his time—a pioneer in a pioneer’s world. When he came to America from his childhood Bohemia in 1846, he found fewer than 50,000 Jews and only two ordained rabbis. With his sense of mission and tireless energy, he set himself to tailoring the vehicle of Reform Judaism to meet the needs of the growing Jewish community. Wise strove for unity among American Jews, and for a college to train rabbis to serve them. The establishment of Hebrew Union College (1875) was the crowning achievement of his life. His quest for unity also led him to draw up an American Jewish prayer-book, Minhag America, to found the Central Conference of American Rabbis, and to edit two weeklies; their editorials, breathing fire and energy, were no less important in his quest for leadership. Here as elsewhere, it was his persistence that won him the war where his impetuosity lost him many battles. Professor Temkin’s writing captures the vigour of Wise’s personality and the politics and concerns of contemporary Jewish life and leadership in America. Based primarily on material in the American Jewish Archives of the Hebrew Union College, this biography is a lively portrait of a rabbi whose singular efforts in many fields made him a pivotal figure in the naturalization of the Jew and Judaism in the New World. The book was first published in hardback in 1992 under the title Isaac Mayer Wise: Shaping American Judaism.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1916 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER X THE RABBI OF CONGREGATION BENE YESHURUN On April 26, 1854, Isaac Mayer Wise arrived in Cincinnati, and during the next forty-six years his entire life was devoted to the cause of Judaism in America. This successful career covering the last half of the nineteenth century can be appreciated best if his many-sided activities are considered separately. Naturally they overlap and are so interwoven one with the other that it will be.difficult to portray any one without reference to the others. However, a clear insight into his power, force, and influence can be had by setting forth in greater detail each phase of his activity, that of rabbi of the congregation Bene Yeshurun, editor of the American Israelite, founder of the Union of American Hebrew Congregations, the Hebrew Union College, and the Central Conference of American Rabbis. In 1854, Cincinnati had a population of about 155,000 of whom four thousand were Jews. The first Jew settled in Cincinnati in the first week of March, 1817. He was a native of Plymouth, England. About the time of his arrival another Jew from Portsmouth, England, settled at Connersville, Indiana. Other English Jews settled in Cincinnati between 1820 and 1830, and during the same period some Dutch and French Jews arrived. About 1830 the Polish and German Jewish immigration began, and within a decade the English Jews were outnumbered by the Germans, who continued to arrive in large numbers during the succeeding decades. In the fall of 1819 the English Jews in Cincinnati held the first Jewish services in the West, and on January 4, 1824, a meeting of the resident Jews of Cincinnati was held at the home of Morris Moses when steps were taken to organize a congregation, and on the 18th day of January, 1824, the...
