About Rabbi Dr. Isaak Loewi
cf.: http://www.fuerthwiki.de/wiki/index.php/Isaak_Loewi
Isaac Loewi also: Isaac Loewi, Lowy or Lowi, (born 31 January 1803 in Adelsdorf, d. 25. December 1873 in Fürth) was from 21st March 1831 until his death in 1873 Chief Rabbi in Fürth (see Synagogue).
Live and act Isaac Loewi was born on 31st January 1803, born in Adelsdorf near Erlangen. He attended the Talmud school in Fürth. In Munich he studied and received a doctorate in philosophy. In 1827 he was appointed as a rabbi by Uehlfeld.
In Fürth, after the death of the highly respected Chief Rabbi Meshullam Zalman Kohn in 1819, there were extended conflicts between the Bavarian government and the predominantly Orthodox community, so that the election of a successor failed repeatedly. Finally, asked Mayor Bäumen to make a decision. This occurred for the Reform Rabbi Dr. Isaac Loewi. On 31st December 1830 the Bavarian government confirmed Loewi as a rabbi in Fürth, has just produced its Bestallungsdekrete (installation decree), and ordered his installation, when there was a complaint. Not until the 10th March 1831 the election of Dr. Loewi to the highest place was sanctioned. On Monday, the 21st March 1831 he was introduced to his new congregation.
Dr. phil. Loewi was the first liberal rabbi in Fürth. He had among other things, studied in Fürth with his predecessor Rabbi Meshullam Zalman Kohn and Wolf Hamburger. His great influence, it is thanks to them that the liberal conception of Judaism, which sought to integrate into the general society, prevailed in Fürth against the Orthodox view that insisted on keeping all the traditional peculiarities in everyday life. Fürth was in the 19th century under this rabbi of the place a real integration. "The Fuerth Jews who had already contributed in the 18th century much to the upswing of Fürth, now exaggerated industrialization in the city ahead. Many of them became rich and made countless foundations. Formerly had such benefits wealthy Jews always been regarded only their own community now benefited from them the whole city. "
Immediately after taking office Loewi announced comprehensive reforms for his community and put in more modern forms of worship. In 1831 he had the main synagogue restored and buildings that had existed since 1617 were changed fundamentally. The women who previously had to worship in adjacent rooms from the men, he let sit in a gallery in the synagogue building. He led prayers, singing and preaching in German, and he supported the development of the city. He pleaded for the establishment of the trade association and the vocational school and was known in the city known for his good relationship with his Protestant and Catholic fellow bishops.
During his tenure as chief rabbi there was temporarily criticism of his sermons. For this purpose, there was an opinion of a Jewish newspaper: "What, incidentally, relates to the note about Dr. Lowi, so we have to inform the control of the truth, that he is very ill for over a year, and had to withdraw completely from its sphere of action, because for a long time any effort by the head doctors had forbidden him and he currently remains in a bath for his health. 'judge each one according to the good side! "
Dr. Loewi sat down heavily on the emancipation of the Jews in Bavaria. That's why he was, on 4 December 1866, visited in Fürth synagogue. by King Ludwig II. In the year 1868 King Ludwig II then enacted a law that abolished all restrictions on Jews in Bavaria.
In 1869 Rabbi Dr. Isaac Loewi was awarded the Bavarian Medal of Michael 1st Class.
Isaac Loewi was very formative for the Jewish community of Fürth. When he died, he was mourned by the Jewish community, and the whole town Fürth ("highly respected and much loved").
He was since 17th November 1828 married to Rosalie Sophie Kohn and had with her nine children - seven sons and two daughters.
His grave is still on the old Jewish cemetery.
