Joseph Johlson

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Joseph Johlson ( Hebrew יוסף יאהלזאן, also Asher ben Joseph von Fulda (אשר בן יוסף פולדא), pseudonym Bar Amithai ) (born November 12, 1777 in Fulda ; † June 13, 1851 in Frankfurt am Main ) was a German educationalist and Jewish theologian.

Life

Joseph Johlson (Joëlsohn) was the son of the rabbi Joseph Joel. His father later took the name Wiesbaden. Joseph Johlson moved to Frankfurt am Main to attend a Talmud school there and worked as a private teacher.

Joseph Johlson was a philologist, theologian and a reform pedagogue and translator influenced by the Jewish Enlightenment ( Haskala ). 1808/09 to 1813 he worked as a teacher for arithmetic, writing and Latin lessons at the Collège de Creuznach . In 1812 he wrote the first draft of his catechetical textbook Teaching in the Mosaic Religion . The publication failed in 1813 due to the resistance of the Israelite Central Consistory , to which the draft was submitted by the Paris Minister of Education. Johlson wanted to introduce a Jewish “ confirmation ” for 14-year-olds along with the textbook .

Still under the reign of Grand Duke Karl Theodor von Dalberg (1744-1817), Johlson received a call as teacher and consistorial councilor to Frankfurt am Main. From 1813 to 1830 he was a religion teacher at the community and secondary school of the Israelite community, the philanthropist , in the Kompostellhof in Frankfurt am Main. Michael Creizenach (1789–1842) had been his colleague there since 1825. In 1814 Johlson wrote a memorandum to the school board of the Israeli community in Frankfurt on the reform of religious education. Compared to the head teacher Michael Hess , who wanted to radically redesign Jewish religious education in the sense of conveying humanism, ethics and moral education, he demanded a stronger orientation towards the Jewish tradition.

On June 27, 1819, Johlson presented the second edition of his religious book " Teaching the Mosaic Religion" to the German Federal Assembly , in the hope of "helping to bring about the civic improvement of the confessors of the Jewish faith in Germany".

Johlson preached in German and, together with senior teacher Hess, held regular German-Israelite prayer hours, first on Sundays at the beginning of the teaching week, then since 1814/15 on the Sabbath . The devotional hours increasingly took on a worship character, competed with synagogue worship and were also attended by Christians. In 1828 a "prayer hall" with a gallery was built next to the philanthropist.

The circumcision looked Johlson not as constitutive of belonging to Judaism . In 1828 he carried out a confirmation for boys and girls for the first time at the Philanthropin, after Jakob Weil (1792–1864) had already carried out a public celebration in his private school ( Weil'sches Knabeninstitut ) in 1825 . Johlson used the terms Easter and Pentecost to describe the Jewish festivals of Passover and Shavuot . In addition to textbooks for school lessons, he published a rationalistic textbook and hymn book. The hymn book also contains - without naming names - arranged songs by Christian Fürchtegott Gellert (1715–1769), Friedrich Adolf Krummacher (1787–1845) and other Christian song writers. In the first print it was forgotten at one point to replace “Jesus” and “Savior” in the templates with “Lord” or “God”. Johlson was a member of the " Association for Culture and Science of the Jews ". Some representatives of Reform Judaism viewed his work critically:

“Josef Johlson… was a learned man, admittedly not a good teacher. A theologian who did not want to tolerate the pedagogical director's objection in his field. He mainly worked as a preacher in the prayer room ... "

- Ludwig Geiger

In 1830 Johlson retired. Until his death, however, he continued to work in the role he had taken over in 1824 as a religion teacher for the Israelite prisoners in the work and improvement house in Hammelsgasse 2-4 .

In 1836 Johlson participated in the announcement of the non - denominational impartial universal church newspaper for the clergy and the educated world class of Protestant, Catholic and Israelite Germany by Julius Vincenz von Paula Hoeninghaus (1802-1844), which was banned in the first year of publication in 1837.

Johlson is the “ Frankfurter Reformfreunde ” association founded in September 1842 by Theodor Creizenach (1818–1877), Simon Maas (1811–1904), Wolfgang Neukirch (1815–1877), Karl Leopold Goldschmidt (1787–1858) and about 20 other people "Or" Friends of religious reform in Judaism ", which, however, stopped working again after about three years. In 1843, under the pseudonym “Bar Amithai”, he drew up an opinion on the permissibility of refusing circumcision for the “Friends of Reform”. He wanted to replace circumcision with a ritual of sanctification on the eighth day (קדושה ליום השמיני - qedûshâ le-jôm hash-sh e mînî ) for boys and girls alike. In 1845 he was critical of the opening of Jewish shops on the Sabbath and called for apprentices to attend church services.

Johlson's correspondence with Karl Ludwig von Kuder (1782–1851), Jakob Weil (1792–1864), Heinrich Eberhard Gottlob Paulus (1761–1851), Leopold Zunz (1794–1886), Justin von Linde (1797–1870) and Lorenz Diefenbach (1806–1883) has been partially preserved.

After Moses Mendelssohn (1729–1789), Johlson was one of the first Jewish scholars in the tradition of the enlightened " biurists " (on ביאור commentary ), who literally translated prophets and history books of the Hebrew Bible into German again in the 19th century. His father Joseph Joel had already made a handwritten German translation of the Proverbs Solomon in 1787.

Joseph Johlson was married to Hannchen Johlson, née Maas (1787–1863), from Offenbach since 1810. He lived in Frankfurt at first in house M 10 ( Badischer Hof an der Mehlwaage ) on the corner of Garkücheplatz 1  and Große Fischergasse 2 , since 1826 in Brückhofstraße 2 (old name: A XXXII a or A 32 a ). The lavishly decorated semi-detached house at Brückhofstrasse 2-4 , built around 1800, was owned by the Gundersheim family, who were represented on the Philanthropin's school council.

Gravestones for Joseph and Hannchen Johlson are in the old Jewish cemetery at Rat-Beil-Strasse in Frankfurt.
