Jacob All sorts
Jacob Allerhand (* 1930 in Ludwipol near Rivne , Poland ; † November 3, 2006 in Vienna ) was a German Judaist. From 1983 he taught Jewish and Hebrew studies as an associate professor at the University of Vienna .
Life
In the mid-1950s, Allerhand studied Oriental Studies with a focus on Turkish Studies at the Free University of Berlin , because he found refuge in Uzbekistan with a Jewish family during the war . During this time he was also chairman of the Union of Jewish Students in West Berlin .
His later teacher Kurt Schubert recommended Allerhand as a student for the newly founded Institute for Jewish Studies in Vienna . Here he received his doctorate with the dissertation topic "The Significance of the Land of Israel in Eastern European Haskala Literature" in 1971 as a Dr. phil. and subsequently remained true to the topic of Haskala . He completed his habilitation in 1983 with a thesis on the history of the Jews in Russia , but shifted his main interest to the tasks and functions within the framework of the Vienna Jewish community . Even if the university work was not his main interest, shortly after his habilitation he received the title of “Extraordinary Professor” and also taught as a professor emeritus for Jewish and Hebrew Studies and taught Yiddish at the University of Vienna. He died on November 3, 2006 at the age of 76.
