Samuel Hirsch Adler

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Samuel Hirsch Adler (born 1739 in Braunsbach ; died on December 16, 1811 in Wertheim , Grand Duchy of Baden ) was a rabbi in Wertheim.

Samuel Hirsch Adler was a son of the rabbinical scholar Juda Adler. In 1771 he was elected community and state rabbi of the County of Wertheim . Because of the opposition of the country Jews to his election, the prince did not confirm his election until June 13, 1775. He was district rabbi for 1,040 Jews. In the last two years of his life, Adler was also a registrar under Baden law.

He was married to Kanendla, who gave birth and death witnesses after his death.

Adler is buried in the Jewish cemetery in Wertheim (stone no. 233).
