This collection documents the personal and professional life of Max Grünewald (1899-1992) a rabbi in Mannheim, Germany, and the United States. His influence in the German Jewish American community was not limited to the synagogue, though, for he held prominent positions in several major Jewish organizations, including being chair of the American Federation of Jews from Central Europe, co-president of the Gustav Wurzweiler Foundation, vice-president of the Maimonides Institute, and cofounder and president of Leo Baeck Institute New York for more than thirty years. The bulk of the records is correspondence (both personal and professional) and research, in the form of handwritten manuscripts, research notes and index cards. Max Grünewald's personal records and writings are also well represented in the form of paper and audiovisual material
Max Grünewald (1899-1992) had a long and distinguished career as a rabbi in Mannheim, Germany, and the United States. More than a spiritual leader of the Jewish American community, he held prominent positions in several major Jewish organizations, including being chair of the American Federation of Jews from Central Europe, co-president of the Gustav Wurzweiler Foundation, vice-president of the Maimonides Institute, and cofounder and president of Leo Baeck Institute New York for more than thirty years. He was a well respected individual who shifted easily from working with powerful Jewish leaders in Europe to leading intimate bible study classes out of his home in Milburn, New Jersey
