| | Isaac Mayer Wise - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | At a meeting held in the spring of 1847 Wise submitted to the bet din the manuscript of a prayer-book, to be entitled the "Minhag America," and to be used by all the congregations of the country. | | | This book appeared under the title " Minhag America", and was practically Wise's work; it was adopted by most of the congregations of the Western and Southern states. | | | So pronounced was Wise's desire for union, that when in 1894 the "Union Prayer-Book" was published by the Central Conference of American Rabbis, he voluntarily retired the "Minhag America" from his own congregation. |

| | Wise was instrumental in forming the Union of American Hebrew Congregations [in 1873], and in 1875 the Hebrew Union College, of which he became president. | | | Such was the opposition to Wise’s reforms that the president of the congregation came to blows with him on Yom Kippur. | | | In 1846, Wise left for America, serving, at first, as rabbi to an Orthodox synagogue in Albany [New York] in which he attempted to introduce certain reforms contrary to the wishes of the congregation [including a mixed choir, confirmation, and German and English hymns]. |

| | As much as Wise was convinced about the necessity of reform |
| | Wise pushed “that every one must be a member of a congregation, and every congregation a member of the Union” ( Temkin 260). | | | As much as Wise was convinced about the necessity of reform, he was even more determined to bring about the union of the American congregations. | | | Furthermore, at the time of the proposed union, each synagogue was under its own control, and in most congregations, a spirit for unity was lacking ( Blau 31; Jick 128). |

| | Wise became the rabbi of Congregation Beth El in Albany, N.Y. He was there four years, initiating new reforms in the religious services. | | | Nevertheless, despite his setbacks, Wise continued to advocate a union of congregations, a common prayer book, and a college to educate and train American rabbis. | | | In 1854, Wise went to Cincinnati, Ohio, to become rabbi of Beth Eichim, a Reform congregation. |

| | Isaac Mayer Wise: Architect of American Reform Judaism |
| | Wise defined American Judaism as follows: “A religion, without mysteries or miracles, rational and self-evident, eminently human, universal, liberal, and progressive, in perfect harmony with modern science, criticism, and philosophy, and in full sympathy with universal liberty, equality, justice, and charity.” | | | The congregational president feared that Wise would denounce this board member from the pulpit and forbade him to preach. | | | Wise’s founding of the Union of American Hebrew Congregations, the Hebrew Union College, and the Central Conference of American Rabbis represented massive personal achievements. |

| | The rabbinical wisdom of Isaac M. Wise |
| | Rabbi Wise established the three main institutions of Reform Judaism: Hebrew Union College in Cincinnati, the Union of American Hebrew Congregations and the Central Conference of American Rabbis. | | | His legacy is a spirit that says that Jews should live fully and comfortably in the modern world and that their religion should embrace and respond to the changes that brings. | | | It was only through his work that reform went from being ideology to a movement of congregations and a people that could sustain themselves for the future. |

| | Isaac Mayer Wise saw our destiny embedded in our Bible, and borrowed it for our College logo: " Haboker or " - "Dawn appeared." For we Jews aspire always for the promise of the dawn, and an end to the night - an end to times of oppression and evil. | | | Our founders - Isaac Mayer Wise and Stephen Wise - were surely called as well, as were the generations of teachers, scholars, and lay leaders who supported and advised them. | | | Someone once said that we are the "nevertheless" people, so I say to you - "nevertheless," we believe that the world is fated for greatness. |

| | Before understanding the reform efforts of Isaac Mayer Wise |
| | His notions were centered purely in returning Judaism to the “simplicity and brevity” of its earlier days and “[purging] it from the accretions of the centuries” ( Blau 35). | | | For example, he noted that his first American congregation, Beth-El, practiced their Judaism as “a matter of rote” ( Temkin 51), something he sought seriously to address. | | | He observed that the congregations manifested those negative elements of Judaism that were under attack in Europe ( Glazer 32). |

| | Chap. 3 from Sod Jerusalems: Jewish Agricultural Communities in Frontier Kansas, by L. David Harris |
| | In 1877, in an effort to organize the Union of American Hebrew Congregations -- that is, a union of Reform Jewish congregations -- he preached at Temple Israel in Omaha, Nebraska, an event that was remembered there for years afterwards, [3] and then headed farther west for visits to Salt Lake City and San Francisco. | | | On the eve of Rosh Hashonah, the rabbi had been observed writing at, of all places, the local Odd Fellows Lodge, and in the holy services the following day, just as he approached the ark to take out the sacred scrolls, the congregation's president clouted him on the head. | | | [12] Rabbi Wise kept the faith: "We call on all men who have pity on these maltreated and outraged Jews to send us at once as much money as they might think proper to send in this most charitable enterprise."

| | Unlike Minchag America (Isaac Mayer Wise's prayer book), Olat Tamid didn't just shorten the traditional service; it was a creative work expressing the Einhorn's Reform ideal of the universality of humanity with an anti-particularistic strain. | | | This marked the beginning of a bitter feud between Einhorn, the uncompromising Reformer, and Rabbi Wise, who was ready to moderate his Reform in the interests of unity. | | | He wrote a new Reform Jewish prayer book with the majority of the text in German called Olat Tamid. |

| | The Union of American Hebrew Congregations (UAHC) was founded in 1873 by Rabbi Isaac Meyer Wise, and serves as the umbrella organization for Reform Synagogues throughout North America. | | | Reform Judaism in America benefitted from the lack of a central religious authority. | | | Early Reform Judaism was also anti-Zionist, believing the Diaspora was necessary for Jews to be a "light unto the nations." Nevertheless, a number of Reform rabbis were pioneers in establishing Zionism in America, such as Gustav and Richard Gottheil, Rabbi Steven S. Wise (founder of the American Jewish Congress) and Justice Louis Brandeis. |
