BREUER, RAPHAEL

BREUER, RAPHAEL
BREUER, RAPHAEL (1881–1932), district rabbi at Aschaffenburg, Bavaria; son of solomon breuer . His candidacy for the succession to his father's office led to a bitter struggle in the Frankfurt congregation in which the majority, the Israelische Religionsgesellschaft (under jacob rosenheim 's leadership), opposed the narrow Orthodoxy with which the name of Breuer had become associated. Raphael Breuer's published works include translations and commentaries (in German) on the Five Scrolls (1908–12; 19242); on the Former Prophets (2 vols., 1915–22); and on Ezra and Nehemiah (2 vols., 1933–38). The literalist interpretation of his commentary on the Song of Songs (1912) caused some scandal among the Orthodox; in the second edition (1923), he gave a more traditional rendering. An appreciation of the ideas of his grandfather S.R. Hirsch was contained in Breuer's Unter seinem Banner (1908). His strong anti-Zionist views were aired in Nationaljudenthum ein Wahnjudenthum (1903) and other polemics. -BIBLIOGRAPHY: H. Schwab, Chachme Ashkenaz (Eng., 1964), 36.
