Joseph Rabinowitz (23 September 1837 – 17 May 1899) was a Russian missionary to the Jews, who founded the Hebrew Christian Movement[1] Novy Israel in 1882.[2]
Biography
Rabinowitz was born on 23 September 1837 in Resina, Bessarabia.[3] He was brought up as a Ḥasid, but later acquired some secular knowledge and mastered the Russian language. For a time he practised law in the lower courts of his native town, settling subsequently in Kishinev.
In 1882 he founded the sect Novy Israel, and began to preach Christianity to the Jews of Kishinev. Following immediately upon the founding of the Bibleitzy brotherhood by Jacob Gordin at Elizabethgrad, the new movement attracted much attention, and was freely discussed in Russian newspapers. Rabinowitz succeeded for a time in interesting Christian Hebraist Franz Delitzsch in his movement and in allaying the suspicions of the Russian government, which strictly prohibited the formation of new religious sects. But his open conversion to Protestantism had the natural result of estranging many of his followers.[2] He was baptized in Berlin on 24 March 1885.[4]
He died in Kishinev on 17 May 1899.[5]
