Hirsch, Samson Raphael. Erste Mitteilungen aus Naphtali’s Briefwechsel [polemical essay against the reforms in Judaism proposed by Holdheim et al] (1838); Zweite Mitteilungen aus einem Briefwechsel über die neueste jüdische Literatur [polemic against the latest Jewish literature] (1844). (Reprinted Frankfurt a.M.: Sänger & Friedberg, 1920). Two of Rabbiner Hirsch’s earliest literary efforts. See JE, Vol. VI, p. 417. * An hohen Senat der freien Stadt Frankfurt [Appeal to the Senate of the Free City of Frankfurt]. (Frankfurt a.M., 1858). An appeal to the Senate by the Jewish community of Frankfurt to prevent the secession of Rabbi Hirsch’s congregation from the general community. pp. 22. * Anonymous. Divrei Emeth (Title also in German: Worte der Wahrheit) [Call for secession—”Austritt”—from the general Jewish community of Frankfurt]. Hebrew. (Frankfurt a.M.: J. Kauffmann, 1879). pp. 42. Though obviously inspired by the philosophy of Rabbi S.R. Hirsch, it was the contention of the late Rabbi Shimon Schwab that the true author of this halachic position paper was none other than Dayan Zekel Bamberger, son of Hirsch’s ideological opponent Rabbi Isaac Dov Bamberger. * Hirsch, Marcus Dr. med. Kulturdefizit am Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts [Culture Deficit at the End of the Nineteenth Century] (Frankfurt a.M.: J. Kauffmann, 1893). pp. 140. Marcus Hirsch was the second son of S.R. Hirsch. The book is a critique of modern anti-Semitism. See E.M. Klugman, Rabbi Samson Raphael Hirsch (New York, 1996), p. 351. * Anonymous. Der Zurückgang der Israelitischen Religionsgesellschaft in Frankfurt am Main [The Return of the Israelite Religious Society in Frankfurt]. A call to rejuvenate the Hirschian community by imbuing it with a spirit of Ahavath Israel (love of fellow Jews). (Frankfurt a.M.: S. Rathhaus, n.d [1913]). pp. (16). One speculates the pamphlet was authored by Jacob Rosenheim in an attempt to steer the members of Hirsch’s community to actively participate in the newly founded Agudath Israel movement. * Rektor Baruch Stern. 50 Jahre Israelitische Volksschule 1882-1932 (Frankfurt a.M.: Hermon-Verlag, 1932). [Jubilee volume of school founded by S.R. Hirsch in Frankfurt]. Includes facs. of manuscript of S.R.
