Bernhard Felsenthal (1822-1908) was a prominent American Reform rabbi. Born in Bavaria and ordained in America by David Einhorn, he served the Zion Congregation of Chicago from its formation in 1864 until his retirement in 1887. In later years, Felsenthal became disenchanted with the course taken by Reform, feeling that it was preparing a “beautiful death” for Judaism. See EJ, Vol. VI, cols.1221-2 (includes photo likeness)
