Israel Meir Freimann

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Israel Meir Freimann ( Yiddish ישראל מאיר פריַימאן, also Israel Meier Freimann; born on September 27, 1830 in Cracow , Republic of Cracow ; died on August 21, 1884 in Ostrowo , German Empire ) was a German rabbi in Filehne and Ostrowo.

Life

Born as the son of the teacher Eliakum Freimann and Esther Breiter, he received his earliest education from his father and learned from the age of 13 at various Talmudic schools ( Jeschivot ) in Hungary . After a year (1850) at a grammar school with an apartment with his older brother Isak (Eisik) in Leipzig , Saxony , Freimann moved to Breslau , Kingdom of Prussia. There he entered the Prima of the Catholic Matthias Gymnasium in 1852 and later passed the Abitur. He then studied philosophy and oriental languages ​​from May 1856 to 1860 at the Silesian Friedrich Wilhelms University . The Silesian regional rabbi Gedalja Tiktin ordained Freimann as rabbi in 1860.

In the same year he became the rabbinate of the Jewish community in Filehne, later he moved to Ostrowo, both in the province of Posen, in the same position . In 1865 he received his doctorate under Dean Johann Gustav Stickel with the thesis A contribution to the history of the ophites at the Ducal Saxon University (Salana) in the Saale city ​​of Jena , Saxony-Weimar-Eisenach . In December 1870 the Israelite Synagogue Community had invited Ostrowo Freimann to the performance, and the voting members unanimously elected him rabbi on May 21, 1871.

When Freimann took up his post on September 7, 1871, the vacancy of the Rabbinate Ostrowos, which had only been filled on an interim basis after the death of his predecessor Aron Stössel (May 31, 1861), ended. Freimann then worked as Rabbi Ostrowos until his death. He turned down the offer of successor to rector Zacharias Frankels at the Jewish-Theological Seminary Fraenckel'scher Foundation in Breslau because of religious scruples. From 1874 to 1884 Freimann held the Jewish religious instruction at the Royal High School in Ostrowos. In 1900, Freimannstrasse was named after him in Ostrowo . Freimann's successor in Ostrowo was Rabbi Dr. Elias Plessner , son of the preacher Salomon Plessner in Berlin.

Freimann's edition of the Midrashian workספר והזהיר (Sēfer We-Hizhir: two parts) to which he made the valuable comment ענפי יהודה(ʿAnpēi Jehûdāh) added, is indisputable proof of his scholarship. The responses (בנין ציון[Binyan Ẓiyyon]) of his father-in-law Jakob Ettlinger contain many of Freimann's essays. Freimann had eight children with his wife Helene Ettlinger (⚭ 1860): Josef, Nanette (married Simonsohn), Isak, Esther (unmarried), Regina (she married Jakob Freimann , her cousin), Judith (married Pinczower), Aron and Frida ( married Czapski).
