Joseph, Jacob

   Also found in: Encyclopedia 0.04 sec.

Joseph, Jacob (c. 1840-1902)

US rabbi born in Lithuania. He was brought to the USA in 1888 by the Association of Orthodox Congregations to become the chief rabbi of New York City. His presence was desired by the Orthodox Jews who were trying to resist Americanization by founding a Jewish community that would retain Eastern European Jewish institutions. These efforts were largely successful only with the older generation.

He was born in Vilnius, Lithuania.
