- ADLER, SHALOM BEN MENAHEM (1847–1899), rabbi and author.
Adler was educated in the home of his uncle R. Hillel
Lichtenstein\>\> . In 1869 Adler was appointed rabbi of Szerednye (now
Sered, Slovakia), a position he occupied for 30 years until his death.
His Rav Shalom, published posthumously by his son-in-law
Elijah Sternhell (1902), is distinguished for its inspiring homilies and
beautiful style. His unpublished works include novellae on the Talmud
and responsa. His three sons were all rabbis: Menahem Judah, his
successor; Phinehas, the rabbi of Radvancz; and Joab, the rabbi of
Tapoly-Hanusfalva, who was born in 1880 and killed by the Nazis.
