Marcus Hyman Bresslau[note 1] (1807/8 – 14 May 1864) was a Prussian-born English Hebraist, editor, author, and journalist.
For a time, he taught Hebrew at the Westminster Jews' Free School, and worked as baal keriah at the Western Synagogue, at which he occasionally delivered sermons.
As editor, he advocated for popular education, for a more effective system of Jewish communal poor relief, and for certain changes to Orthodox liturgy and ritual.
[2] He resigned in October 1850 after disputes with Mitchell, but on the latter's suicide in June 1854, he re-assumed the editorship and became sole proprietor, though he sold it a few months later.
[7] Bresslau declined numerous offers of employment within the Jewish community, and he lived his later years dependent on charity.
