Life

Baruch Isaak ben Israel Lipschütz was a son of Rabbi Israel Lipschütz, who later worked in Danzig . He was first taught by private tutors and obtained his rabbinical diplomas on yeshivot in Inowrocław and Czarnków . Already active as a rabbi in Wronki in 1833, he was suspended by Akiba Eger in 1838 because of his young age.

In 1839 he applied for the rabbinate of the new congregation in Bromberg and at the same time privately prepared for the Abitur . He studied oriental philology at the University of Berlin and got married. In 1843 he was called to preach to the Brethren in Poznan . In 1846 he resigned from his office and moved to Landsberg ad Warthe as a rabbi . He also gave up this office after a while. In 1848 he was appointed regional rabbi in Kassel by the Hessian government , but was unable to take up this post because of the revolution . He used this time for oriental studies in Amsterdam and at the University of Leiden . On August 2, 1849, he was from the University of Jena to the Dr. phil. PhD.

From 1850 he worked as a rabbi in Frankfurt (Oder) . In 1853 the grand ducal government appointed him state rabbi of Mecklenburg-Schwerin. In its orthodox orientation it was the opposite of its predecessors David Einhorn and Samuel Holdheim . One of his first acts was the repeal of the reforms introduced by Holdheim and the reintroduction of the Kol Nidre . However, he was unable to overcome tension in the church. He was therefore dismissed on Michaelmas 1858. He moved to Hamburg , where he worked as a private scholar, Talmud teacher and preacher with the Orthodox brotherhood Etz Chaim . In 1870 he moved to Berlin.

Baruch Isaak Lipschütz was the father of the Berlin rabbi Oscar Lipschütz (1847-1919).

His grave stele is in the row of rabbis at the Jewish cemetery at Schönhauser Allee .
