biography
Natanel Teitelbaum is the son of Nechama and Mordechai Teitelbaum from Kirjat Motzkin near Haifa . From 2001 to 2008 he was the rabbi of the Cologne Synagogue Community , temporarily chairman of the German Rabbinical Conference and initiator and founding member of the Orthodox Rabbinical Conference .
He became known in public when Pope Benedict XVI. Visited the Cologne synagogue on Roonstrasse on August 19, 2005 . In March 2008, after almost eight years as a rabbi in Cologne, he surprisingly returned to Israel. The official justification for this was that Teitelbaum did not see the Jewish education of his children in high school sufficiently guaranteed in Cologne.
Since the beginning of 2010 Natanel Teitelbaum has been working for the Jewish community in the state of Bremen . He commuted between Haifa and Bremen . In December 2014 he took over the office of state rabbi in Bremen and is thus one of the successors of Benyamin Barslai .
