Ehrenberg, S. M.

Samuel Meyer Ehrenberg is the son of Hale Meyer, née Landau and Levi Meyer. In 1808 he became the "Inspector" of the Samsonschule in Wolfenbuettel. He reformed this school according to the model of the Jacobsohnschule in Seesen/Harz (Germany) with a mixture of religious and secular education, guided by the spirit of enlightenment and Reform Judaism. He was married to Henriette (Jette) Maas (1781-1845). His most renowned pupils were perhaps Leopold Zunz and Isaak Marcus Jost. (See also: Samuel Meyer Ehrenberg Collection ( AR 4025 ) and Isaac Marcus Jost Collection ( AR 4294 ).)

Isaac Lewi Rosenzweig (also known as Isaac Eisek) probably stems from the the town of Leszlau in Eastern Prussia. In 1811, he received a call to the Jewish School of Kassel, which also was based on educational reform principles. He was married to Guetchen Maas (1788-1865), a sister of Samuel Meyer Ehrenberg's wife Henriette.
