Dispute between the Frankfurt Rabbinate and the Adat Yeshurun Community. Large Archive with Hundreds of Documents, Letters and Posters. Frankfurt, 1920s
Large archive from the Adat Yeshurun community in Frankfurt with hundreds of documents, letters, posters and other items of ephemera, including many posters and letters from the different sides of the huge dispute with the Frankfurt rabbinate at the end of the 1920s.
Kehillat Adat Yeshurun was founded in Frankfurt in the middle of the 19th century by members of the separatist community in Frankfurt led by Rabbi Shamshon Raphael Hirsch. They were very particular about total separation from the Reform community. After the passing of Rabbi Shamshon Raphael Hirsch, his son-in-law Rabbi Shlomo Zalman Breuer succeeded him as rabbi of the community and its rosh yeshivah until his passing in 1926.
With his passing (and actually even previously) a dispute began in the community about the identity of his successor. Rabbi Shlomo Zalman Breuer was interested in his son Rabbi Raphael being appointed his successor (in 1924 he even turned to the Va'ad HaKehillah with a request that they approve the appointment of R' Raphael as his assistant and replacement in some of his positions, but the Va'ad refused, as they wanted to reserve the right to choose the rabbi on their own). Those opposed requested the appointment of Rabbi Avraham Yitzchak Klein, rabbi of the Orthodox community in Nuremberg. The dispute continued at full force until 1929, when Rabbi Yosef Yonah Tzvi Horowitz of Slovakia was appointed to the position.
Dozens of posters, journals and many leaflets from this period.
Provenance: Heirs of one of the members of the community in those years.
The collection has not been carefully examined and is being sold as is. There may be many more pearls in it.
