Max Landsberg

Max Landsberg (February 26, 1845 – December 9, 1927), senior rabbi of the B'rith Kodesh Congregation, Rochester, New York, was one of the best known and most beloved Jewish leaders in the United States.

[4] From 1867, he taught at the seminary in Hanover until 1871 when, on the recommendation of the Jewish reformer Abraham Geiger (1810–1874), he moved to Rochester where he was elected rabbi of the B'rith Kodesh congregation, taking up his appointment in March 1871.

Events were open to the public, in line with Landsberg's efforts to develop collaboration with Christian churches interested in similar objectives.

[5] Inside the first edition of the 1917 Jewish Publication Society English version of the Torah, he is credited for supplying the translation of Genesis.

[8] Clara Landsberg was a close collaborator of Jane Addams at Hull House[9] and became the lifelong friend of Margaret Hamilton, near whom is buried now at Cove Cemetery in Hadlyme, Connecticut.
