Nathan Marcus Adler
1803 CE–1890 CE · Acharonim · Würzburg
Rabbi Nathan Marcus Adler (1803-1890) was born in Hanover, where his father, Mordecai Baer Adler, served as the city's rabbi. He studied at the University of Würzburg, received rabbinic ordination from Rabbi Abraham Bing in 1828, and completed a doctorate at Erlangen the same year. After holding rabbinical posts in Oldenburg from 1829 and Hanover from 1830, he was elected Chief Rabbi of the British Empire in 1844 and installed in London in 1845. During his London years he helped establish Jews' College in 1855, serving as its first president, and contributed to the formation of the United Synagogue in 1870. His best-known work, Nesinah LaGer, a Hebrew commentary on Targum Onkelos, appeared in 1875; a companion commentary on Targum Jonathan, Ahavas Yonasan, remained in manuscript. He settled in Brighton in 1880 and died there in 1890.
