Isidore Kaim

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Isidor Kaim (also K. Sidori (pseudonym), born February 25, 1817 in Dresden ; died around 1880 probably in Berlin ) was the first state-licensed lawyer of the Jewish faith in Saxony in 1845 . He took an active part in the revolution of 1848 as a speaker and journalist and, in addition to writings on the emancipation of the Jews, also published relevant legal specialist literature.

Life

On February 25, 1817, Isidor Kaim was the 15th child of the jeweler Samuel Kaim (Samuel Ben Chajim, * 1803), who later became chairman of the Dresden Jewish community with Hirsch Beer and Mendel Schie (1813-1837), and his first wife Buna Hirschel, daughter of Löbel Salamon Hirschel and sister of Gerhard (Gutkind) Bonnier (Hirschel) and Breindel Lehmann (Hirschel) was born in Dresden. Well-known siblings of Isidor were Samuel, who continued the jewelry business, Eisik and Emil (Gutkind) Bonnier, the first Jewish editor in Saxony.

After studying medicine, he studied law until 1841 and was admitted to the examination as a Jew, but not to practice as a lawyer due to an ordinance of 1512. Only with permission from the king was he allowed to practice his profession in 1845, but he was still unable to practice this profession as there was a waiting list. He moved to Leipzig and received citizenship upon application in 1849. In 1848 he took an active part in the revolution on the side of the Democrats. He was sentenced to 4 months in prison for insulting the state in a newspaper article.

As a lawyer, he mainly worked on questions of commercial law. In 1854 he was sentenced to prison for alleged fraud. After his release in 1859, he moved to Berlin, where he lived with his brother Samuel and published several publications by the end of the 1860s. In 1877 he is listed as the owner of a company for yarn, wool and cotton waste, after which his track is lost.

In his writings he strongly advocates the emancipation of the Jews.
