Adolph S. Moses (May 3, 1840 – January 7, 1902) was a German-American rabbi who mainly ministered in Mobile, Alabama and Louisville, Kentucky.
He resumed his studies in Frankfurt with his friend and mentor Abraham Geiger, and he attended the University of Vienna for two years.
A frequent contributor to the Jewish press, he served as editor of the weekly Zeitgeist with his brother Isaac S. Moses and Emil G. Hirsch.
[7] He also wrote the novel "Luser the Watchmaker: An Episode of the Polish Revolution" in 1883 based on his experiences during the January Uprising.
[8] Moses began giving sermons in English shortly after he came to America, even though at the time German was prevalent in American synagogues.
They had ten children,[3] including Alfred Geiger (rabbi of his father's former congregation Sha'arai Shomayim in Mobile, Alabama), J. Garfield (a lawyer in New York City), Elsie (an assistant professor in the Louisville girl's high school), Beatrice (a staff member of the Louisville Courier Journal), Mrs. L. Neumeyer of Mount Sterling, Fred B., and Octavia.
[10] A thousand people attended his funeral at Temple Adas Israel, including ministers of various denominations, lawyers, and businessmen.
