Moses Löb (Moyse Aryé ben Isaac Dov ha-Levi) Bamberger (born April 12, 1838 in Wiesenbronn , Kitzingen district ; died September 29, 1899 in Bad Kissingen ) was the rabbi of the district rabbinate from 1867 until his death in 1899 Bad Kissingen .

Life

He was a son of the well-known Würzburg rabbi Seligmann Bär Bamberger and Kela Wormser (1804–1881) and the uncle of his Bad Kissingen successor Seckel Bamberger , who also became his son-in-law through his marriage to his daughter Nanette . In 1867 he married Sara Ettlinger (1842–1871), the daughter of the Altona chief rabbi Jakob Ettlinger, and after her early death, his second marriage was Esther Goldschmidt (1873–1923) from Zell near Würzburg.

At first, after the death of the district rabbi Gabriel Hirsch Lippman in Bad Kissingen, from 1865 Bamberger only worked as a rabbinical administrator. Soon after his election as district rabbi , criticism of his person was loud: Bamberger is said to have been a “young, unskilled speaker” , a rabbi without “everybody and any education” and he owed his choice only to family connections. However, on the occasion of his 25th service anniversary in 1892, he was publicly praised for his great learning and deep piety. In his honor an "ML Bamberger'sche Foundation" was spontaneously established during the anniversary celebration.

During his tenure in the early 1890s, the decision was made to build a new, much more representative synagogue on Maxstrasse in Bad Kissingen, which later became the “ New Synagogue ”. Bamberger died before it was completed. In 1894, the Bad Kissingen architect Carl Krampf presented the first building plans. The neo-Romanesque synagogue was inaugurated on June 14, 1902.

Since his successor in office, Dr. Seckel Bamberger was only able to take up the office of district rabbi in Bad Kissingen in 1902, but between 1899 and 1902 his brother Nathan Bamberger from Würzburg took over the rabbinate.
