	History: Reform Judaism In the 19th Century
		Holdheim a reform Rabbi himself felt that the Jews living during his time period should change the laws given to them at Mt. Sinai and the halacha that the Talmud and Mishna state.

		Thus, Holdheim said that the biblical and Talmudic laws concerning marriage, divorce and personal status are no longer relevant and the Jews in these cases should be ruled by the state government (Sasson 835).

		Holdheim's principal thesis was the separation of the religious and ethical content of Judaism (which should be binding) from the political-national content (which should not be binding), since Jews are citizens of the countries in which they are living.
		However, Holdheim fails to make a clear distinction between the two areas in his writings; in any case he was also ready to compromise in the religious sphere if the need arose in the country in which the Jews were to be integrated.
		Holdheim was a German rabbi and author; leader of the left wing of the Reform movement.

	Jewish Social Studies--"Most of My Brethren Find Me Unacceptable": The Controversial Career of Rabbi Samuel Holdheim
		During his relatively brief lifetime, Rabbi Samuel Holdheim (1806–60) was arguably one of the most prominent, and certainly the most controversial, of the Jewish religious reformers in Germany, but his legacy has received remarkably little attention.
		The most prominent among his admirers was Geiger, who developed a deep friendship with Holdheim that lasted for more than a quarter of a century and culminated in two visits, the second of longer duration, during the last months of Holdheim's life.
		Like Holdheim a radical in theory, but less so in practice, Geiger may well have seen in his contemporary a consistency that, because of his desire to gain broader support within the Jewish community, Geiger could not himself represent.

	Union for Reform Judaism - Reform Judaism (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		In contrast to U.S. Reform Judaism, German Reform Judaism always retained a pronounced traditionalist aspect, calling itself "Liberal" rather than "Reform." In Germany, the latter term was restricted to the extremist Berlin Reformgemeinde, the only congregation in Germany with an all-vernacular service, bareheaded worship, and the Sunday Sabbath.
		In his recognition of the need for Reform, Holdheim was in agreement with Geiger; but he differed from him both in the theoretical justification and in the practical steps to be taken.
		In Europe, acceptance of Holdheim's radicalism was confined to the Berlin Reformgemeinde, which Holdheim served as rabbi, and to a shortlived radical group in Hungary.

		The publication of such substantial commentaries led to the eventual acceptance of the Shulhan Arukh, and in turn spawned new generations of commentaries and meta-commentaries that continue to be published today.
		In Germany, influential Jewish leaders, such as Samuel Holdheim and Abraham Geiger advocated for reforming Judaism in order to make Judaism once again relevant and compelling for enlightened Jews.
		While these earlier thinkers largely rejected the authority of halakhah, later Reform thinkers such as Samuel Freehof, Walter Jacob, and W. Gunther Plaut argued that halakhah was still important and should be consulted when formulating Jewish responses to contemporary questions.

		The Reform movement in its earlier stages involved sweeping changes in public worship, in the direction of rendering them more like what could be found in services of Protestant Christians.
		These were among the first in New York (Temple Emanu-El), in Baltimore (Har Sinai), and in Cincinnati (B'ne Yeshurun) to insist upon the change of the services.

		Although most of the rabbis at these conferences were much less traditional than Frankel, like Frankel they taught in the established Jewish community, the Einheitsgemeinde, and therefore had to remain sensitive to and conversant with traditional rituals and observances.
		A number of radical Reform rabbis, in particular Samuel Holdheim, made strong anti-traditional statements that shocked many more traditionally inclined.
		Geiger himself has been quoted as seeming to repudiate the circumcision rite as "a barbaric act." Yet the practice of most German Reform rabbis remained far more traditional than their rhetoric.

		Holdheim totally divorced Judaism from nationalism and changed the Sabbath to Sunday.
		In his book Ueber die Autonomie der Rabbinen und das Prinzip der juedischen Ehe he laid down his ideology, which included a separation of religious or ethical Judaism from nationalism.

		It was these synods which resulted in traditional European Jews, led by Rabbi Samson Raphael Hirsch (Geiger's old friend), separating from the reformers.
		Led by Geiger and Samuel Holdheim, these synods set out to eliminate from Judaism every mark of national uniqueness.
		Since the goal of modern Judaism was to live a lifestyle that brought holiness into the modern world, a world of science and truth; all outmoded rabbinic legislation had to pass the test of reason, morality, and modernity to be acceptable.

		One of the prime movers in this development was Samuel Holdheim [1806-1860] who thus became one of the first spiritual leaders of what was to become known as Reform Judaism.
		If Holdheim and his colleagues were doing such violence to the Jewish tradition, the horrified traditionalists were forced to wonder where it would all end.

		Bernheim was aware of the new concept of the (Sunday-)Sabbath as Rabbi Samuel Holdheim (1806-60) pronounced this as the "most original contribution to the discussion" (at the Third Rabbinical Conference in Breslau, 1846).
		Still, while Bernheim was aware of Holdheim and his argumentation, Rabbi Adolph S. Moses’ thinking was along the same lines, even more so, and Bernheim vividly recalled his "sainted" rabbi’s sermons and writings on the subject.
		The Central Conference of American Rabbis was much concerned with the question of transferring the Sabbath to Sunday.

		Like their counterparts in Germany, American Reform rabbis, such as David Einhorn, Samuel Holdheim, Bernard Felsenthal and Kaufmann Kohler, adopted a radical approach to observance.
		The original, basic tenets of American Reform Judaism were set down in the Pittsburgh Platform, 1885.
