Autorenporträt
Kaufmann Kohler (1843-1926) was an important figure in American Jewish religious life, particularly known for his influential role in the development of Reform Judaism. Born in Fürth, Bavaria, he received a traditional Jewish education before pursuing academic studies in Germany where he was ordained as a rabbi. His erudition and scholarly pursuits led him to the United States where he would leave a lasting impression on Jewish thought and practice. Kohler occupied the pulpit in several congregations, most notably Temple Beth-El in New York City, and served as President of Hebrew Union College, the main seminary for Reform rabbis. His book 'Jewish Theology, Systematically and Historically Considered' is a seminal work that reflects his liberal approach to Judaism, emphasizing ethical monotheism and a rational, historical understanding of Jewish texts and tradition. This text not only offers a comprehensive overview of Jewish belief systems but also illustrates Kohler's commitment to reconciling tradition with modernity. His theological perspectives espoused a universalistic approach, attempting to present Judaism as a religion with a message for all humanity. Kohler's enduring impact is felt in the principles he championed, remaining a cornerstone of contemporary Reform Judaism.
