Summary
Leader of German Orthodoxy, Torah scholar, community rabbi, author of Torah works, founder and editor of a pioneering Orthodox newspaper, rosh yeshiva & author of numerous literary works for German Jewish youth in the form of novels, historical biographies and historical fiction, Rav Meir Marcus Lehman (1831-1890) accomplished much in his relatively short life. From an early age, he saw his role in articulating a sense of Jewish values, pride and Orthodoxy for a German Jewry confronting the challenges of modernity and sweeping secularization. Although remembered today for his profound impact on the development of Orthodox literature, which saved generations of youth, he was influential leader of 19th century German Orthodoxy in many realms.
