Isaac Leeser
Isaac Leeser (December 12, 1806 – February 1, 1868) was an American, Ashkenazi Jewish lay minister of religion, author, translator, editor, and publisher; pioneer of the Jewish pulpit in the United States, and founder of the Jewish press of America. He produced the first Jewish translation of the Bible into English,〔The Leeser translation began with the Torah in 1845, and was completed in 1853. The ''Jewish School and Family Bible'', an Anglo-Jewish translation by A. Benisch, was partially simultaneous with that of Leeser but generally followed his progress: Its first volume (Torah) was published in 1851, and the final volume (Hagiographa) in 1861. Full scans of all the original printings of both translations can be found .〕 as well as editions of the liturgy. He is considered one of the most important American Jewish personalities of the nineteenth century America.
==Early life==
Born as Isaak Leeser in Neuenkirchen/Rheine, Westphalia, Isaac Leeser received his education at the primary school of nearby Dülmen and thereupon at a gymnasium in Münster. He was well-grounded in Latin, German, and Hebrew. He also studied the ''Talmud'' tractates ''Moed'', ''Bava Metzia'', and portions of ''Kodashim'' and ''Bava Batra'' under Hebrew masters. At the age of seventeen he emigrated to America, arriving at Richmond, Virginia, in May, 1824. His uncle, Zalma Rehiné, a respected merchant in that city, sent Leeser to a private school but after ten weeks the school closed, and for the next five years Leeser was employed in his uncle's counting-room. Although his circumstances were inhospitable for the growth of his Jewish knowledge, Leeser showed his bent by voluntarily assisting the ''hazzan'' to teach religion on Saturdays and Sundays and also by defending Judaism in the public press from time to time when it was assailed.
