Career

Aub attended the yeshiva in Fürth , where he was a student of Wolf Hamburg , and the yeshiva des Löb Glogau in Prague . In Bayreuth he passed the Bavarian state examination in 1822. He applied first in Bamberg , then in Munich , where he was elected rabbi in 1825. However, he did not get his official employment until 1828, after he had completed compulsory university studies in Munich and another rabbinate examination in Ansbach . In 1826 he inaugurated the synagogue on Westenriederstrasse , the first newly built synagogue of the Israelite religious community in Munich, which had been founded a decade earlier and where he worked as a rabbi for over four decades. Aub gave religious instruction at the Maximiliansgymnasium in Munich . He founded the synagogue choir (1832), the orphans' association (1839), the support association for Jewish apprentices and the dowry association (1845).

In 1865 he received the Knight's Cross 1st Class of the Order of Merit of St. Michael from King Ludwig II .

In May 1871, Aub retired; he was succeeded as rabbi by Joseph Perles . Aub's grave is in the old Israelite cemetery in Munich.

Work and meaning

Hirsch Aub was considered a special expert on the Talmud . The Jewish community in Munich had both reform-minded and Orthodox members; Hirsch had a balancing effect between the two parties. Aub was the founder of the synagogue choir, the orphans' association and other charitable associations. He campaigned for the emancipation of the Jews, among other things successfully for the abolition of the matriculation law, which limited the number of Jewish marriages.

Joseph Aub was a cousin of Hirsch Aub, the writer and literary scholar Ludwig Aub (1862-1926) was his grandson.
