Joseph Stolz (November 3, 1861 – February 7, 1941) was an American rabbi who ministered in Chicago for most of his life.
While there, he became influenced by Professor Solomon Eppinger and Dr. Moses Mielziner and would come to share their conservative thoughts.
Following his ordination, he worked as rabbi in B'nai Israel Temple in Little Rock, Arkansas, from 1884 to 1887.
In 1895, when Chicago Jews were moving to the South Side, he was elected rabbi of Isaiah Temple.
Concerned that Reform Judaism was closing itself off from middle-class Jews, he introduced a Sunday service in 1887 and believed that the synagogue, the Jewish community's cornerstone, should be a democratic institution.
Their children were Edna (wife of lawyer Joseph Brody of Des Moines, Iowa), Regina (wife of physician Harry Greenebaum of Chicago), and Leon (an editorial writer for the Chicago Tribune).
