Chaim Tzvi Taubes
1900 CE–1966 CE · Modern · Kolomyya
Chaim Tzvi (Zwi) Taubes was born in 1900 in Czernelica, a town in Galicia, and trained for the rabbinate at the Israelitisch-Theologische Lehranstalt in Vienna, receiving his doctorate in 1926. He then served as a teacher and rabbi in Baden bei Wien, Oderberg, and Vienna, and lectured at the Lehranstalt from 1931 to 1936. In 1936 he was appointed rabbi of the Israelitische Cultusgemeinde in Zurich, where he served for close to thirty years, and he also led the Mizrachi movement in Switzerland. His best-known scholarly work continued Benjamin Manasseh Lewin's Otzar HaGeonim, for which he compiled the volume on tractate Sanhedrin, gathering Geonic-era material on the tractate; it appeared in 1967, after his death. He also wrote Lebendiges Judentum (1946). After retiring in 1964 he settled in Jerusalem, where he died in 1966.
