[2] After attending a Gymnasium (grammar school) in 1850 in Leipzig, Saxony, where he stayed with his elder brother Isak (Eisik), in 1852 he moved to Breslau, then Prussia.
[1] In the same year Freimann took up the rabbinate of the Jewish congregation in Filehne, later changing to the same position in Ostrowo, both then in the Prussian province of Posen.
[3] He wrote his doctoral thesis, Ein Beitrag zur Geschichte der Ophiten (A contribution to the history of the Ophites), supervised by Dean Johann Gustav Stickel.
[1] From 7 September 1871 on he worked as rabbi for the Israelitische Gemeinde Ostrowo,[2] thus ending a vacancy since the death of his predecessor Aron Stössel (d. 31 May 1861).
[2] Freimann's edition of the midrashic work והזהיר [he] (We-Hizhir; 2 parts), to which he added the valuable commentary ענפי יהודה (ʿAnpēi Yehûdāh), is indisputable evidence of his learning.
