Abstract:
The author Hertha Vogelstein is the grand-daughter of Heinemann Vogelstein. He was born in the rural community of Lage. Heinemann was an excellent student and was sent to the gymnasium (high school) in Detmold. Due to his outstanding talent he was granted a scholarship of the State of Lippe to study theology at the Jewish seminary in Breslau. He became a rabbi in Pilsen (in 1869) and Stettin (in 1880). Heinemann Vogelstein married his student love Rosa Kobrack in 1869. His first born son Hermann, the author's father, followed in his footsteps as a rabbi in Koenigsberg. Heinemann Vogelstein was a leading personality in liberal Judaism and among the founders of the Association of Liberal Rabbis in Germany. He faced fervent opposition by orthodox rabbis for the publication of a German translation of the Hebrew prayer book.
