March 12, 1879 in Lübeck; rabbi; d. Oct. 4, 1936 in Ramat Gan, Palestine) Helbig, Marco. Ephraim Carlebach, 2019: page 7, etc. (Fifth child of Esther and Salomon Carlebach; studied in the Kathrineum Gymnasium in Lübeck until 1897 and attended universities in Switzerland, Würzberg, and Berlin where he obtained a doctorate in 1900 and rabbinical ordination in 1901. He married Gertrud Jacoby of Bromberg in 1905, and they eventually had six children. His religious stance was that of Neoorthodoxy. He was leader of the Adass Jisroel Congregation in Berlin when he was offered a position in Leipzig at the Talmud-Thora Society. While in Leipzig, he preached at the Ez-Chaim Synagogue and established the Carlebach School in 1913, the first Jewish school in Saxony. As headmaster, he employed a rather progressive pedagogical method for his day. Nevertheless, he struggled with the school's financial difficulties, opposition of the Liberal faction, the issue of classes on Saturdays imposed by the Saxon Ministry of Education and Cultural Affairs, antisemitism, and the final takeover of the school by the Nazis in 1933. These problems prompted him to emigrate with his family to Palestine in 1936. There he founded the newspaper Maariv. He strove to build bridges between different religions and cultures as well as between the Orthodox and Liberal members of the Jewish community.) LC data base: (Carlebach, Ephraim, 1880-1936) |
