	Samson Raphael Hirsch
		Hirsch was born in 1808 in Hamburg, Germany.
		In 1830, Hirsch became rabbi of Oldenburg and in 1846, district rabbi of Moravia.
		While Hirsch was a scholar and child of the Haskalah, he had no tolerance for the historical approach to Judaism (then an emerging school under Zecharia Frankel and the forerunner of the Conservative movement) as he felt it produced a relativistic attitude toward Torah.

	JewishEncyclopedia.com - HIRSCH, SAMSON RAPHAEL:
		Hirsch was a pupil of Ḥakam Bernays, and the Biblical and Talmudical education which he received, combined with his teacher's influence, led him to determine not to become a merchant, as his parents had desired, but to choose the rabbinical vocation.
		In 1830 Hirsch was elected chief rabbi ("Landrabbiner") of the principality of Oldenburg, where he remained until 1841, when he was elected chief rabbi of the Hanoverian districts of Aurich and Osnabrück, with his residence in Emden.
		In 1846 Hirsch was called to the rabbinate of Nikolsburg in Moravia, and in 1847 he became chief rabbi of Moravia and Austrian Silesia.

	Samson Raphael Hirsch Summary
		Hirsch soon became the leading Orthodox proponent of the notion that traditional Jewish belief in the divinity and the immutability of the written and oral laws could be combined with an affirmation of Western culture.
		Hirsch detested Reform for its rejection of the oral law and charged that it reformulated Judaism in accordance with the demands of the age; against Reform he argued that the contemporary era had to be viewed in light of Judaism.
		In 1830 Hirsch was elected chief rabbi (Landesrabbiner) of the principality of Oldenburg.

		Samson Raphael Hirsch (1808-88) [was a] German rabbi and religious thinker.
		Hirsch believed that the only way to preserve the Orthodoxy of his community was to obtain permission from the German authorities to establish a separatist organization.
		Hence Hirsch speaks of the ideal Jews as the "Israel-man", that is, the Jew who is proudly Jewish, a believer in the eternal values and precepts of the Torah as divinely ordained, and is, at the same time, a cultured "man", a human being belonging to the modern world.

		SAMSON RAPHAEL HIRSCH (1808-1888), Jewish theologian, was born in Hamburg in 1808 and died at Frankfort-on-the-Main in 1888.
		His philosophical conception of tradition, associated as it was with conservatism in ritual practice, created what is often known as the Frankfort "Neo-Orthodoxy." Hirsch exercised a profound influence on the Synagogue and undoubtedly stemmed the tide of liberalism.
		Other works by Hirsch were Horeb, and commentaries on the Pentateuch and Psalms.

	Rabbi Samson Raphael Hirsch and Neo-Orthodoxy
		Hirsch was initially opposed to the establishment of separatist communities.
		Hirsch's first priority was to establish religious schools.
		The ideal of voluntary membership in Jewish communities brought about changes in the role of the Rabbi and the process of legal decisions: The Rabbi only had to speak for those who had chosen to accept his authority, therefore law could be interpreted and applied in a much more demanding and stringent manner.

		It appears to have been first applied derisively to Jewish conservatives by a Reform polemicist in an article published in 1795.
		Yet so pervasive was the use of the term that in 1886, when Hirsch established an alliance of the traditionalist congregations in Europe, he named it the "Freie Vereinigung für die Interessen des Orthodoxen Judentums" (Free Union for the Interests of Orthodox Judaism)!
		Of all the movements on the contemporary Jewish scene, Orthodoxy is the least centralized and the most diverse.

	Rabbi Samson Raphael Hirsch
		It obliges us, further, to allow our longing for the far-off land to express itself only in mourning, in wishing and hoping; and only through the honest fulfillment of all Jewish duties to await the realization of this hope.
		Our Sages say G-d imposed three vows when he sent Israel into the wilderness: (1) that the children of Israel shall never seek to reestablish their nation by themselves; (2) that they never be disloyal to the nations which have given them shelter; (3) that these nations shall not oppress them excessively (Kesubos 111a)."
		And, combined with the yearning for the Messiah, it is the only recipe for the world's salvation.

	Beyond BT » Blog Archive » A Brief Introduction to the Works of Rabbi Samson Raphael Hirsch
		Hirsch was the leader of a community at a time in history when change was everywhere.
		But Hirsch was convinced that for the average Jew on the street, his duty was to live a balanced diet of Torah study, communal involvement, and family life.
		Hirsch would have been horrified, yes; but my point is that modern Western culture, for all its considerable demerits, may well have virtues at its core that we should appreciate.

	Rabbi Hirsch
		Rabbi Samson Raphael Hirsch (1808-1888) of Germany was an Orthodox Rabbi whose life was devoted not only to the preservation of traditional Judaism, but also to the material and spiritual well-being of all Germans.
		This was the beginning of Rabbi Hirsch's lifelong struggle against any and all attempts to change what he termed "Torah-true" Judaism.
		To Rabbi Hirsch this was a most important matter, as he saw inherent in communal linkage with the reformers implicit recognition of their legitimacy as an alternative form of Judaism.

	ArtScroll.com -- Rabbi Samson Raphael Hirsch / Architect of Torah Judaism for the modern world. / By Rabbi Eliyahu Meir ...
		In 1851, Rabbi Samson Raphael Hirsch left the chief rabbinate of Moravia, where over 50,000 Jews were under his jurisdiction, to assume the spiritual leadership of the fledgling independent kehillah of Frankfurt-am-Main, which could then boast of no more than one hundred families.
		The world of Rabbi Hirsch remains the world of most of us today: a world without the protective insularity of the ghetto, a world in which every Jew simultaneously lives in a broader gentile society.
		They have lost none of their force with the passage of time, a fact attested to by the new editions of his works that continue to appear a hundred years after his passing.
