Autorenporträt

Rabbi Joseph Krauskopf (1858-1923) was a prominent Reform rabbi, social activist, and author, distinguished for his progressive approach to Judaism and his commitment to social justice. Born in Ostrowo, Prussia (now Ostrow Wielkopolski, Poland), Krauskopf immigrated to the United States in 1872. His higher education culminated at the Hebrew Union College in Cincinnati, Ohio, where he was ordained as a rabbi in 1883. Krauskopf's tenure as a rabbi in Kansas City and later at Congregation Keneseth Israel in Philadelphia solidified his reputation as a leading voice in Reform Judaism and an advocate for agricultural education, workers' rights, and interfaith dialogue. His visit to Russian writer Leo Tolstoy in 1894 resulted in the publication of 'My Visit to Tolstoy: Five Discourses' (1894), a book that not only chronicles his exchanges with Tolstoy but also reflects on themes of poverty, religion, and the ethical implications of wealth distribution. Characterized by a narrative style interwoven with moral introspection, the book embodies Krauskopf's literary and rhetorical prowess. Krauskopf's legacy includes the founding of the National Farm School (now Delaware Valley University) in 1896, demonstrating his commitment to practical education and the betterment of society through agricultural reform. His written works and leadership continue to influence religious thought and social ethics.
