summary

Joseph L. Moss was a prominent Philadelphian Jewish philanthropist, noted for his contributions to educational and charitable projects. Sabato Morais (1823-1897), a native of Livorno, replaced Rev. Isaac Leeser at the pulpit of Congregation Mikveh Israel in Philadelphia in 1851. Determined to stem the spread of Reform Judaism in America, Morais was instrumental in establishing the Jewish Theological Seminary in New York in 1886. See JE, Vol. VIII, pp. 679-81
