The most extreme precursor to the Reform movement was a man by
the name of Samuel Holdheim. ... In the year
1847 he became the rabbinate of a reform congregation in Berlin . At
this point he already disapproved of most liberal Rabbis and came to
be known as the most exemplar of reform Rabbis in all of Europe ( 241)
The question comes to mind as to what exactly triggered this
different belief in Judaism which differed significantly from previous
tenents. ... They realized that many of these changes took place not
because of a dislike for Judaism, but in order to obtain better
treatment. ... They concluded that in order to make Judaism attractive
to all Jews this change had to continue. A group of Rabbis assembled
in Germany, and changes began, thus developed the start of Reform
Judaism. Holdheim a reform Rabbi himself felt that the Jews living
during his time period should change the laws given to them at Mt. ... Judaism now had to be in accord with both the letter and
the spirit of laws of the nations they were living among. ...
Reform Judaism wasnt the only way of belief during this time
period.
