R. Abraham ben Enosh ha-Levi Bing, rabbi and Talmudist (1752-1841) was chief rabbi in Wuerzburg, Bavaria. Before that he was rabbi at Heidingsfeld, Bavaria. R. Bing was a pupil of R. Nathan Adler (1741-1800) of Frankfort, and belonged to the orthodox school which admitted no innovations in religious matters. A decided opponent of the reform movement, he declared it to be the duty of every orthodox Jew to refuse to go to the temples of the reformers. He was director of a large yeshivah and had a great reputation as a Talmudist.
R. Isaac Dov ha-Levi Bamberger (Seligmann Baer, 1807–1878) was a rabbinical scholar, leader of German Orthodoxy, and opponent of Reform. In 1840 he was elected to succeed R. Bing in the face of fierce opposition from the Reformers. R. Bamberger continued the local yeshivah, founded an elementary school in 1855, and a teachers' training college in 1864. The Wuerzburger Rav, as he was called, was one of the last great German-style talmudists, and his prolific literary work was chiefly devoted to subjects of practical halakhah. Together with A. Adler and M. Lehmann, Bamberger published a German translation of the Pentateuch (1873, 1913) on behalf of the Orthodox-Israelitische Bibelanstalt to counter L. Philippson’s Bible translation, against which he had published a polemical pamphlet (1860). |
