Joseph Zwi Carlebach (born January 30, 1883 in Lübeck ; died March 26, 1942 in the Biķernieki forest near Riga ) was a German rabbi , scientist and writer.

In December 1941, he and his family were deported to the Jungfernhof camp near Riga (Latvia). After its dissolution, he, his wife and three of his daughters were murdered.

family

Carlebach was the eighth child of Esther Carlebach , a daughter of the local rabbi Alexander Sussmann Adler , who was born in Lübeck , and of the rabbi Salomon Carlebach, who was born in Heidelsheim . The family grave of the Carlebach family is still in the Jewish cemetery in Lübeck-Moisling . In 1919 he married his former student Charlotte Preuss (1900–1942), a niece of the photographer Max Halberstadt . The marriage had nine children, many of whom became rabbis or married a rabbi.

Education and international years

Joseph Carlebach became a rabbi, like most of his brothers, including Ephraim Carlebach , the founder of the Higher Israelite School in Leipzig. Joseph Carlebach also completed a comprehensive scientific education. Like his brothers, he attended the Katharineum in Lübeck , which he graduated from high school at Easter 1901. From 1901 he studied natural sciences, mathematics, astronomy, philosophy and art history in Berlin. The quantum physicist Max Planck and the philosopher Wilhelm Dilthey ( hermeneutics ) were among his teachers. In 1908 he completed the senior teacher examination in the natural sciences (with summa cum laude ). Carlebach was trained at the local Orthodox rabbinical seminary at the same time . From 1905 he taught for two years in Palestine at the Jerusalem teachers' college , the Lämel School, and interrupted his studies for this time. There he came into contact with authoritative Torah experts .

In 1909 he graduated from the University of Heidelberg in mathematics, physics and Hebrew. In the same year he received his doctorate as a mathematician (a medieval Talmud scholar) at the University of Heidelberg on the subject of Lewi ben Gerson . The publication of the research work on this scholar, also known as Gersonides, as well as a pioneering work on Einstein's theory of relativity (Berlin 1912) also brought Carlebach academic recognition. From 1910 to 1914, immediately after completing his doctorate, Carlebach devoted himself more to rabbinical studies at the Berlin rabbinical seminary of the Israelite synagogue community Adass Jisroel , which was strictly orthodox and was under the direction of rabbi David Hoffmann . In 1914 he was a rabbi ordained .

From 1914 to 1918, during the First World War , he was drafted into the military. At first he served as a telegraph operator in Mainz . In 1915, on the recommendation of his brother-in-law, the field rabbi Leopold Rosenak , Carlebach was sent to German-occupied Lithuania , which at that time was a center of Jewish learning. He completed his military service as a German cultural officer (with the rank of captain ) and rabbi in Lithuania. In Kaunas , together with local Talmudic scholars , he founded the partly German-speaking Jewish secondary school (zusammenימנזיום עברי), which he also directed until 1919.

Rabbi in Germany

In 1920 Carlebach became the reigning rabbi in Lübeck , until David Alexander Winter followed him there in 1921 .

In 1921 he became rector of the Talmud Tora School in Hamburg. Joseph Carlebach was a creative educator. He responded individually to each student and guided him through his interest in the topic to learn and discover independently. The teacher saw himself as an older friend of the student. The basis and starting point of Carlebach's teaching was the Jewish faith, which should permeate all areas of life and knowledge and guarantee the wholeness and unity of soul and spirit. He saw the aim of the school in the creation of a Jewish environment, supported by the highest Jewish value of moral and ethical responsibility, in which Hebrew is spoken as a living language.

In 1925, Joseph Carlebach was elected as the successor to Chief Rabbi Meir Lerner as Chief Rabbi of the High German Israelite Congregation (HIG) in the then still independent Prussian city of Altona . It was the Altona coat of arms, the symbol of the open gates, that corresponded to it so completely, and Altona's proven acceptance-friendliness not only towards persecuted Jews from Eastern Europe. The then Lord Mayor Max Brauer also welcomed him and remained an enthusiastic visitor to Chief Rabbi Carlebach's lectures for many years. How strongly Carlebach's ideas shaped him became clear when, at the invitation of the American Jewish Congress in mid-March 1936, Brauer gave a speech at a banquet of this association in New York at the invitation of the American Jewish Congress , in which he held anti-Semitism as one of the pillars of the Analyzed Nazi ideology . He also demanded that the struggle of the Jews in Germany against their increasing disenfranchisement must be supported internationally, ideally through a World Jewish Congress.

In 1936, the German-Israelite Congregation (DIG, at that time the Ashkenazi Jewish community of Hamburg ) called Carlebach to the Bornplatz Synagogue in Hamburg as the successor to Chief Rabbi Samuel Spitzer . In front of the assembled crowd he promised in his inaugural address, “(...) that my house and heart will be open to everyone (...) and I will carry all the needs of your soul with you, that I will only honor the vocation to this rabbinical seat as an obligation wants to take to simple humanity towards everyone, that is the promise of this hour (...) ”.

After the incorporation under the Greater Hamburg Act on April 1, 1937, the Jewish communities (German-Israelite community in Hamburg, High German Israelite community in Altona, Israelite community in Wandsbek, Jewish synagogue community in Harburg-Wilhelmsburg) also included Contract for their unification on January 1, 1938. The chosen name Deutsch-Israelitische Gemeinde zu Groß-Hamburg was not approved by the Nazi Ministry of Culture, because "German" is forbidden for Jewish organizations, "Israelitisch" is misleading because in the Nazi racial ideology "Jewish" is the clear term and "community" - so the flimsy argument - is reserved for political communities. The community then chose the name of the Jewish Religious Association in Hamburg . Carlebach remained chief rabbi even after the unification of the communities. In 1937 Bruno Italiener was made chief rabbi of the temple association and in 1938 Carlebach renounced the designation chief rabbi of Hamburg , but instead called himself chief rabbi of the synagogue association .

“The central personality in the life of the Jews in Hamburg-Altona was Chief Rabbi Joseph Carlebach [...]. He embodied the spiritual authority revered and recognized in all directions within the community. Carlebach [...] united the Judaism of East and West in the broadest sense of this word. General culture and Jewish knowledge became an artful synthesis in him, and he was Jewish-Orthodox in his faith and in his way of life. I personally see him standing in front of me as my teacher. "

Harassment in the time of National Socialism

Carlebach's "application for a tax clearance certificate" aroused suspicion that the family wanted to emigrate. The foreign exchange office arranged a security order; after that, Carlebach was only allowed to make payments and withdrawals with official approval via a security account. After the Reichspogromnacht , Jews had to pay a Jewish property tax of 25% of the property to the tax office.

Since October 1940, Carlebach has not received a salary. On May 31, 1941, he was fined for failing to put the compulsory first name Israel in the telephone book. From September 19, 1941, a Star of David had to be worn to stigmatize . With the decree of October 18, 1941, Jews were banned from leaving the country. Gestapo people followed his services. From October 25, 1941, the Jews were deported from Hamburg. The property and property of the deported Jews fell to the Reich in accordance with the 11th ordinance on the Reich Citizenship Act ; the properties were sold through an "asset management office" of the tax office.

Work in the time of National Socialism

Miriam Gillis-Carlebach , the surviving daughter of Joseph Carlebach, remembered her father's commitment to the persecuted Jews during the Nazi era.

Deportation and murder

Place of the Jewish deportees: memorial and plaque

On December 4, 1941, 753 Hamburg Jews received the deportation order . Because the originally intended destination, the ghetto in Minsk , was overcrowded, the departure was delayed. Fanny Englard born Dominitz, a surviving witness, reported:

“The Gestapo had offered Carlebach to stay behind. But he decided to stay with the transport so as not to disappoint the many people who wanted to travel with him. "

On December 3, the Carlebach family wrote to one of Charlotte's uncle, Siegfried Halberstadt:

“We are about to go east. We want to say goodbye to you once again. We have inner confidence and bless the hour when many fellow travelers feel comforted by us. We wish and implore you and your children all the best. May you stay healthy and happy, be delighted by the happiness of your dear children. All the best!"

Carlebach and his family were deported to the Jungfernhof concentration camp near Riga (Latvia) on December 6, 1941 , where the almost sixty-year-old became seriously ill. In the camp, Carlebach secretly organized school lessons, organized a Hanukkah festival and some bar mitzvah celebrations. When a fellow prisoner refused to eat kosher sausage, he convinced her with the argument that the duty to support the body and life ("Schmirat Haguf") was better served by accepting the energizing food.

On March 26, 1942, Joseph Carlebach, his wife Charlotte and his three youngest daughters Ruth, Noemi and Sara were shot in the forest of Biķernieki near Riga. Only on November 30, 2001, on the occasion of the opening of a memorial at this point, did the cantor of the Jewish community in Riga, Vlad Shulman, speak the kaddish . On the sides of the memorial stone is written in Hebrew, Russian, Latvian and German:

"Oh earth, do not cover my blood, and my screaming will find no rest!"

- Job 16:18

The youngest son Salomon (Shlomo Peter) survived the tyranny in nine different concentration camps. Carlebach and his wife sent the older five children to safety in England in good time.

progeny

His son, Rabbi Shlomo (Salomon Peter) Carlebach (not to be confused with his eponymous cousin, the singing Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach ) first became a student after the war and later became the mashgiach ruchani ("spiritual director" [of the students]) at the Yeshiva Rabbi Chaim Berlin (-Institute) in Brooklyn, New York, a training center for rabbis. His daughter Miriam Gillis-Carlebach , an educationalist, was the director of the Joseph Carlebach Institute for Contemporary Jewish Education at the Bar-Ilan University in Ramat Gan (Israel). She cultivated contacts with Hamburg, especially the cooperation between the universities.

Joseph Carlebach School

The former Talmud Torah school, rear view

For the 2007/08 school year, on August 28, 2007, after 68 years, children again moved into the building of the former Talmud Torah school . School operations begin in the spirit of Joseph Carlebach in the form of a state-approved Jewish all-day elementary school with an attached preschool. The city of Hamburg, the Jewish community and the parents share the financing.

Until then, the college of librarianship was housed in the building. A memorial plaque in the stairwell reminded of the history of the school and the fate of its students and teachers.

The building also houses the kindergarten of the Jewish community with 60 places and the administration of the Jewish community.

In Hamburg-Altona

Black form in front of the Altona town hall

At the southern end of the Platz der Republik opposite the town hall, the black cube Black Form - Dedicated to the Missing Jews by Sol LeWitt commemorates the Jewish community and its Rabbi Joseph Carlebach with a dedication to the “Jews who are missing from Altona forever”.

In Altona, the Carlebachstrasse , which leads from Gilbertstrasse to Saßstrasse, is a reminder of the Altona chief rabbi.

In Lübeck

The approximately 5.5 hectare Carlebach Park in the new Lübeck university district was named after the Carlebach rabbi family.

Memory of Carlebach in Israel

Joseph Carlebach Institute

The German-speaking academic and educational Joseph Carlebach Institute (JCI), founded in 1992 at the Bar-Ilan University in Ramat Gan , aims to contribute to German-Jewish and German-Israeli understanding and promotes joint seminars and conferences with German-speaking universities, institutes and student groups.
