summary

Bernhard Felsenthal (1822-1908), a native of Munchweile, Germany, arrived in America in 1858 and was appointed Rabbi of Chicago’s newly-formed Zion Congregation in 1864. Despite his associations with the Reform Movement, he was an unusually early proponent of the need to establish a Jewish Day-School in America.
