Isaac Mayer Wise was the dominant f

Isaac Mayer Wise was the dominant force behind the creation of American Reform Judaism. From his arrival in America in 1846 to his death in 1900, the rabbi was devoted to modernizing and Americanizing Judaism. He rejected as outdated many European rituals and derided Jews overly concerned with what he viewed as relatively unimportant aspects of the religion such as dietary laws, calling them adherents to “kitchen Judaism.” His self-confidence and magnetic speaking style won him many admirers and followers, but his prickliness led him into bitter disputes in which he became lifelong enemies with other leading Jewish figures.



A prolific writer, Wise was editor and primary author of two weekly newspapers, the author of a prayer book, and other volumes of history, fiction and theological texts. His most enduring contributions lie in the institutions he established, which included the major institutions that fostered Reform Judaism — the Union of American Hebrew Congregations and Hebrew Union College. Through their creation, Wise advanced his aim of drawing American Jews together around a modern brand of the religion suited for the New World.
