Eduard Kley (1789-1867) a German pedagogue and Reform preacher, was tutor to the wealthy and infuential Ber family of Berlin, where he also preached in Israel Jacobson’s private Temple and associated with Zunz, Auerbach and other reformers, who cumulatively developed a liturgy composed entirely in German. Moving to Hamburg as director of the Jewish Free School there, Kley preached in the Hamburg Temple, where he inaugurated the use of an organ and altered the observance of the Sabbath-day from the traditional Saturday.
