from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Friedrich "Fritz" Elias Laupheimer (born July 26, 1890 in Bad Buchau ; died January 17, 1965 in Jerusalem ) was a German economist and rabbi. From 1932 to 1939 he was district rabbi in Bad Ems .

Life

Friedrich Laupheimer, son of the rabbi Jonas Laupheimer , studied law in Heidelberg and graduated with a dissertation in 1913. He then worked as a national economist in a bank. From 1928 to 1931 he studied at the Rabbi Seminary (JTS) in Breslau ; his previous studies and professional activity shortened these theological studies from the usual seven years to three years. After completing these studies, he came to Bad Ems, where he took over the office of the Orthodox district rabbi Bad Ems-Weilburg from Laser Weingarten . He was a member of the Misrachi , the Reich Representation and the General German Rabbi Association.

During the November pogroms in 1938 , Laupheimer was beaten into the street and mistreated. In 1939 he was sent to the Dachau concentration camp . He signed an exit permit for Palestine for himself and his family - consisting of his wife Lotte (born 1902, youngest daughter of Henriette Fürth ), son Rafael, daughters Miriam and Channanjah . He left the country immediately after his release. The family came to Palestine via Holland and France. From 1940 to 1961 Laupheimer was the director of the general retirement home in Jerusalem.
