"Samuel Hirsch was a major Reform Judaism philosopher and rabbi who mainly worked and resided in present-day Germany in his earlier years. He promoted the radical German Reform Judaism movement and published several works in the 1840s. He first became rabbi at Dessau in 1838 but was forced to resign in 1841 because he promoted a radically liberal form of Judaism, later to become known as classic German Reform Judaism. In 1843 he published his â Die Messias-Lehre der Juden in Kanzelvorträgen' and â Religionsphilosophie der Juden.'" (wikipedia). He was later the rabbi at Keneseth Israel in Philadelphia, his pulpit when he published this book. His son, Emil G. Hirsch, married David Einhorn's daughter, Mathilda, and became "the leading Reform Rabbi in the early 20th Century. Hirsch upheld the rite of circumcision and the use of Hebrew in public services; yet he was the first rabbi to advocate the transfer of the Sabbath to Sunday, which he actually carried out as rabbi of Keneseth Israel in Philadelphia. Though at first adopted by a number of communities, this innovation was gradually abandoned by nearly all American Reform congregations. Hirsch was president of the first Conference of American Reform Rabbis, which convened in Philadelphia in 1869 and played a leading role in framing the so-called "Pittsburgh Platform" (1885); this platform set the course of American Reform Judaism until the advent of the Hitler era. Hirsch founded the first American chapter of the Alliance Israélite Universelle and was a frequent contributor to Jewish journals" (EJ, 2007) OCLC: 172988637, OCLC & Singerman together list only 5 copies worldwide, including this copy: JTSA, AJHS, HUC, Gratz (this copy), & Penn.
