Life

Book stamp by Adolf Salvendi

Adolf Salvendi received his first training in his hometown from the local Rabbi Josef Weisse .

From November 8, 1858, he studied eight semesters at the University of Breslau , on November 2, 1862, he received his doctorate at the University of Jena with the dissertation Joseph Kimchi , sketched from his works (unprinted).

First he was briefly rabbi in the West Prussian town of Berent in 1864 and then followed a call to the Bavarian Palatinate . From 1866 to January 1, 1909, he was District Rabbi of the District Rabbinate Dürkheim-Frankenthal , based in Dürkheim .

He was a strict representative of Orthodox Judaism , which led to problems with the representatives of liberal Judaism in many parishes of his district rabbinate.

He was active in the Lemaan Zion association , a Zionist association for Germany, and in the association for the education of Jewish orphans in Palestine , both of which had their headquarters in Frankfurt am Main. When his admirers provided him with a sum for a Palestine foundation on his 70th birthday, he decided that a new orphanage should be built through this foundation in the Salvendi colony.

His first wife was Augusta Meyer (1842–1870), his second Charlotte-Schönche (1846–1910). His grave and that of his second wife are in the Jewish cemetery in Karlsruhe .

His son Hugo Salvendi (born February 20, 1877 in Dürkheim) was a doctor and was murdered in Auschwitz in 1942 .
