Moritz Friedländer

Moritz Friedländer (October 17, 1844–January 30, 1919) was an Austro-Hungarian Jewish scholar of religion.

He taught for a brief period as a religious instructor at a high school in Vienna.

After, he became secretary of the Israelitische Allianz zu Wien (Israelite Alliance of Vienna) in 1875.

In his work with the Allianz, he campaigned for the opening of the first Jewish public school in Galicia, which encountered resistance from the Haredi orthodox who preferred to keep the government uninvolved.

He published several articles and works on the topic and saw the period as a useful model for Judaism in his own day.
