Biographical Sketch

Alexander Guttmann was born in 1904 in Budapest, Hungary to Michael and Camilla Guttmann. His father was a renowned rabbi and scholar who was also the president of the Budapest Theological Seminary. Guttmann received undergraduate degrees in Semitic languages from both the University of Budapest and the University of Breslau. In 1924, he received his Ph.D. from the University of Breslau.

Guttmann began his academic career in Berlin at the Liberal Teachers College and as a lecturer in a local adult education program. He became a professor at the Hochschule fur die Wissenschaft des Judentums in 1935. At the Hochschule, Guttmann had the exclusive privilege to ordain rabbis. Several of these students, including Emil Fackenheim, Abraham Brody and Abraham Joshua Heschel, later became prominent scholars at universities in America, Europe and Israel. In 1940, Guttmann and his family accepted an invitation from Julian Morgenstern to become a visiting Talmud professor at Hebrew Union College. He became a permanent member of the faculty in 1943.

As a professor at HUC-JIR, Guttmann frequently acted as the campus responsa on halakkah issues for President Nelson Glueck and other faculty. He was active in campus politics and a mentor to several master's and Ph.D. candidates. Guttmann revised, created and ran the Talmud and Codes courses for the forty years he was on faculty. Younger faculty members adapted and created their own courses with the full cooperation and guidance of Guttmann.

Guttmann retired from the HUC-JIR faculty in 1978, although he continued to teach. In 1981, Guttmann returned to Germany as a visiting professor of Talmud for one year at the newly formed Hochschule fur Judische Studien in Heidelberg. Because of his teaching commitments to HUC-JIR he was unable to teach sessions in succeeding years.

In June 1984, Sotheby's auctioned off an anonymous lot of Judaica books which had been moved by Guttmann from the Hochschule to the United States in 1940. Guttmann said that H. Veit Simon, director of the Hochschule, had given him the property and the rights to dispose of it prior to his Berlin departure. However, the sale was blocked by various survivor groups and the ownership of the materials became a court case. The court determined that there was no way to prove Guttmann owned those materials. HUC-JIR and several other Jewish institutions eventually obtained title to the books.

Guttmann authored a number of books starting with Das readktionelle und sachliche Verhaeltnis zwischen Misna und Tosephet in 1928, which won the Israel Lewy Prize at the University of Breslau. Other titles included Rabbinic Judaism in the Making , Studies in Rabbinic Judaism and Struggle over Reform in Rabbinic Literature During the Last Century and A Half. He was an active contributor to several journals including the HUC Annual where he also served as a committee member.

Guttmann participated in several Jewish scholarly organizations, including the Colloquium on Judaism and Christianity at Harvard in 1966, committees in both the Central Conference of American Rabbis, and Union of American Hebrew Congregations, and the World Congress of Jewish Studies (for which he won a 1969 Guggenheim fellowship in support of his lecture).

Guttmann was also an avid amateur photographer and made frequent trips to Israel and Europe. He died in Cincinnati, Ohio in 1994.

Alexander Guttmann married Manya Kampf in Berlin, Germany in 1937. They had four children: Ari Guttmann, Judy Guttmann Mizrachi, Naomi Guttmann Klatzkin, and Esther Guttmann Whitman.

Scope and Content Note

The Alexander Guttmann Papers (1908-1988) detail the scholarly career and personal life of Alexander Guttmann. Guttmann served as a professor at the Hochschule in Berlin prior to his emigration to America in 1940 when he became a Professor of Talmud at Hebrew Union College. He remained there until his retirement in 1978. An ordained rabbi, Guttmann wrote and lectured extensively.

The papers consist of correspondence, research notes and writings and materials relating to his 1985 court case. A noted expert on halakkah, much of his correspondence and research files relate to this topic. Another common subject in correspondence is the advising of doctoral students working on their coursework and dissertations. There is information about the Guttmann family's escape to America and the subsequent efforts to obtain restitution for their property.

Series A: Correspondence. 1920-1985
	The correspondence series consists of ten Hollinger boxes relating to halakkah queries, HUC student candidacies, and publications. The correspondence is both personal and professional. Guttmann corresponded with current HUC students such as Stephen Passemaneck or his former Hochschüle students such as Harris Hirschberg, a rabbi in Los Angeles, California about both their research interests, and family lives. Also, of special interest are the Hungarian claims, liftvan (luggage), and Morgenstern correspondence which concerns the family emigration to the United States in 1940.

Series B: Lectures, Sermons and Writings. 1939-1983
	The lectures, sermons and writings series consists of four Hollinger boxes (1939-1983). The writings are in either draft or note form, and are sometimes accompanied by relevant correspondence. Many of the lectures were given either at the Hocshchule or HUC-JIR. Manuscript writings do not normally identify their eventual place of publication.
	Two index card boxes of Hebrew Talmudic notes are at the end of the series. These files frequently correspond with the material located in the Responsa/Research files.
