  Jacob Ettlinger - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jacob Ettlinger (March 17, 1798-December 7, 1871) was a German rabbi and author, and one of the leaders of Orthodox Judaism.
A similar belief in the doctrines of the Kabbalah is expressed in a sermon in which he urged early burial, because as long as the body remains unburied evil spirits have power over it.
Ettlinger became one of the strongest opponents of the early Reform Judaism movement, and headed the protest of the one hundred and seventy-three rabbis against the Brunswick Conference of 1844.

From the beginning of the eighteenth century until 1885, there existed also a Portuguese-Jewish community, known as Bet Jacob ha-Ḳaṭan, and later as Neweh Shalom, which was, however, but a branch of the Portuguese congregation of Hamburg.
In Altona itself there are, side by side, the old German-Jewish cemetery, in which Chief Rabbi Ettlinger was the last person interred, and the very interesting cemetery of the Portuguese Jews of Hamburg, which was purchased in 1611 and closed in 1871 (see illustration).
The Jewish population in 1900 numbered about 2,000, in a total of 150,000; whereas soon after the end of the Danish rule, in 1867, it numbered 2,350, in a total population of 50,000.

 Rabbi Jacob Ettlinger
Rabbi Jacob Ettlinger is widely known as the author of the classic Talmudic commentary Aroch LeNeir, and as Rav and Rosh Yeshivah in Altona, and before that in Karlsruhe, where Rabbi Samson Raphael Hirsch, his most widely renowned disciple, studied.
Rabbi Ettlinger spoke up against efforts to introduce the joint recitation of the Kaddish by all mourners, which he considered "contrary to the old established customs of Germany and Poland." He strongly criticized those who would let no one but the official Chazan, in special garments, lead the congregation in prayers.
It is, incidentally, of interest to note the close ties of the Shomeir Tzion with the land of Israel.

Beyond that, however, it was realized that an effort had to be made to rally Orthodox Jewry to the flag of the Torah.
To that end, in 1845, Rabbi Ettlinger spearheaded the publication of the first Jewish Orthodox bi-weekly newspaper, “Der Getreue Zionswaechter” (Faithful Guardian of Zion), with a Hebrew supplement “Shomer Zion Hane'eman”.
This pioneering publication served as platform for a great number of German Rabbis to exchange views on current communal and halachic issues, as well as for the publication of their novellae on talmudical subjects.

 Samson Raphael Hirsch
Through the education of his teachers, considered German Jewry's greatest Talmudists, who were proficient in both non-Jewish and Jewish culture, Hirsch decided to train for the rabbinate with the aim of demonstrating that traditional Judaism and Western culture are compatible with each other.
From 1823 to 1829 he studied under Rabbi Jacob Ettlinger, a distinguished German Jewish Talmudist.
Yet, despite Hirsch's passion for traditional Judaism, his congregations were made up of a diverse cross-section of cultured society -- bankers, professors, physicians, artists, scientists and others who were both comfortable in Western society and observant in their own daily lives, thus proving that Torah and secular society do not conflict.

 Judaism: Amen and amen: blessings of a heretic - like me
R. Jacob Ettlinger, of Altoona, Germany was one of the first authorities to seek some accommodation with modernizing, less observant Jews in the middle of the nineteenth century.
In contrast to R. Feinstein's denying the value of a heterodox Jew's observance, R. Ettlinger regards a non-Orthodox Jew's ritual behavior as sufficient evidence that he or she remains within the camp, albeit while displaying sinful behavior.
But in his time, R. Ettlinger argues, there is more than one way to interpret Halakhically forbidden behavior.

We will assume that the individual has given his consent for an autopsy and wishes his brain tissues to be used for research.
In the last century and in modern Israel objections to autopsy have arisen on the grounds of disfiguring the dead which is considered dishonorable; it may not be permitted even for the benefit of the living (Jacob Ettlinger, Binyan Tzion, #170, 171).
This authority, however, also agreed that it is permissible if the individual consented to an autopsy as a person may reject any honor due to him.

Therefore, in a discussion between Moses Schick of Ofen and Jacob Ettlinger of Hamburg (both in the first half of the 19th century), this matter is debated (see Responsa of Ettlinger, Binyan Tsiyon 1.171).
Moses Kunitz here actually uses the word "Caesarean," and gives the origin of the term (namely, that Julius Caesar was born by such an operation).
Jacob Reischer, Rabbi of Metz two centuries ago, in his Responsa (Shevut Ya-akov 1.13, at the end), not only gives permission for such an operation but ends his responsum by saying that he who performs it must be praised for doing so and his reward will be great.
