This monograph views Abraham Geiger (1810-74) as the founding father of Reform Judaism. The author, Rabbi Emanuel Schreiber (1852-1932), was born in Leipnik, Moravia and migrated to the United States in 1881 accepting the call to serve the rabbinate in Mobile, Ala. He went on to serve a further seven congregations in cities across the country.
