Jewish Notes on Lincoln
Lincoln's beard, mien, humor, sense of justice, countenance
and character bear all the earmarks of Jewish quality. On best
authority however, Honest Abe was not of Jewish origin. Yet the
noted scholar Rabbi Isaac M. Wise of Cincinnati once disclosed
to his congregation that Lincoln had told him "he supposed him-
self to be a descendant of Hebrew parentage" . . . A rabbi of
another school of religious thinking, the late Bernard Revel, saw
in Lincoln the fusing of all the essentials of Judaism. 'Ito him
Lincoln was not only the first typical American but also the em-
bodiment of "the noblest qualities of Judaism."
Jewish Moments in His Life
It is doubtful Lincoln had many contacts with Jews prior to
his ascension to the Presidency. But once he entered the White
House the picture changed. With that he chose a Jewish chirop-
odist, Dr. Issachar Zacharie, who seemed to have pleased Lincoln
as much with his humor as with his skill • . Lincoln was the
first President to appoint a Jewish army chaplain. The appoint-
ment went to Dr. Arnold of New York. To make the appointment
possible Lincoln pulled strings to have Congress pass special legis-
lation. He was also the first President to appoint a Jew as full-
fledged minister to a foreign power, when he named Sigismund
Kaufmann of New York to the post of Minister to Italy. The
appointee however turned down the offer .. . Lincoln was also
the first President to appoint a Jew as U. S. Consul to Germany.
The distinction came to a man by the name of Einstein, who
served in a city that was destined to become the capital of anti-
Semitism—Nuremb urg .
Added Nuggets
The last and one of the best photographs of Lincoln was
made by a Jew on the Sunday before the President's assassina-
tion. It was made in the Washington studio of Adolphus Solomon,
who was later to become president of Bnai Brith . . . A Washing-
ton Jewish physician, Dr. C. H. Lieberman, was among the nine
medical men at Lincoln's deathbed . .. Because Lincoln died on
a Saturday the first sermons on his death were delivered in syna-
gogues .. . Jews were the first contributors to a fund to erect
a Lincoln monument at Sprinfield, Ill. This was done by the
Jewish community of Alton, Ill. . . . Lincoln's Emancipation Proc-
larhation was transmitted to the world by a Jew, Edward Rose-
water, who worked in the telegraph office of the War Department
