Sir Moses Montefiore
Sir Moses Montefiore
(1784-1885)
Montefiore was brought up in London, first apprenticed to a firm of grocers and tea merchants, he left to become one of the 12 “Jew brokers” in the City of London. In 1812, Montefiore married Judith Cohen, which made him Nathan Mayer Rothschild’s brother-in-law and stockbroker. He retired from business in 1824 and devoted his time and resources to community and civic affairs.
His early activities on behalf of the Jews in Israel included a plan to acquire land to help Jews become self-sufficient, as well as attempting to bring industry to the country by introducing a printing press and a textile factory. He inspired the founding of several agricultural settlements as well as Yemin Moshe outside of Jerusalem’s Old City which was named after him.
Montefiore was Sheriff of London, 1837-1838, knighted by Queen Victoria, and received a baronetcy in 1846 in recognition of his humanitarian efforts on behalf of the Jews. Sir Moses Montefiore received an appropriately high honor when he celebrated his 100th birthday as a public holiday in Jewish communities around the world as a sign of community affection and respect.
