Biographical Sketch

Samuel Schulman was born in Kalwarya, Russia to Tanhum and Rachel Deborah (Alterman) Schulman on February 14, 1864. In 1868 the Schulman family came to the United States. Upon his arrival in New York, the young Schulman had already learned the basic elements of Hebrew and was able to chant the Hebrew prayer book. At the age of eight, Schulman began the study of the Talmud. By the age of thirteen he had read five tractates of the Talmud and at his Bar Mitzvah he delivered a Talmudic discourse.

Schulman attended the public schools of the city of New York and in 1885 graduated from the College of the City of New York with a bachelor's degree. Schulman than went abroad from 1885-1889 to study at the University of Berlin and at the Hochschüle für die Wissenschaft des Judentums, where he completed all the necessary courses in order to be ordained in the rabbinate.

Upon returning to the United States in 1889 Schulman began his career as a pulpit rabbi that continued without interruption until his retirement in 1934. Schulman's first congregation was Congregation Shalom in New York City where he served from August 1889 until March 1890 when the congregation disbanded. Schulman then moved west to Helena, Montana and Congregation Emanu-El from 1890-1893. In 1893 Schulman moved to Kansas City, Missouri and Congregation B'nai Jehuda. He remained in Kansas City until he returned to New York to become Kaufmann Kohler's associate at Temple Beth El. When Kohler was named president of the Hebrew Union College in 1903, Schulman became his successor. Schulman remained at Temple Beth-El until 1927 when it consolidated with Temple Emanu-El and he was named rabbi of the new Congregation Emanu-El. In 1934 Schulman was elected Rabbi Emeritus.

Schulman's activities in organizations and movements make a lengthy list. He was president of the Central Conference of American Rabbis from 1911-1913 and served as an honorary president in 1934; he was a founder of the Association of Reform Rabbis and served as president from 1921-1926. Working through the Association, Schulman helped create the Hebrew Union College School for Teachers in New York City and was chairman of the school's Board of Governors throughout its nine-year existence. Schulman also served on the Union of American Hebrew Congregations' Commission on Jewish Education from 1927-1940. He chaired the Commission's committee on youth education, pressing for a national youth organization which came about in January, 1939 as the National Federation of Temple Youth. Schulman also served as chairman of the Commission's Committee on Commentaries, helping to form the rules by which Commentaries were to be written.

He was a member of the New York Board of Ministers, serving as chairman of the Board's Interfaith Committee for a number of years; was Director and Vice-President of the Young Men's Hebrew Association of the City of New York and served as chairman of its committee on education. He was a member of the American Jewish Committee and of the Board of Editors of the Jewish Classics. He was a member of the Jewish Publication Society's publications commission and was one of the editors of JPS's Bible translation from 1909-1916. In 1926 he was one of the organizers of the World Union for Progressive Judaism.

Schulman did not author any large works, but he did write a number of articles and many of his sermons were published in pamphlet form. Some of his more important writings include: "Jewish Ethics"; "Israel"; "Why American Jews are opposed to Zionism"; and "The Fundamentals of Judaism as a Religion for the World."

Schulman was awarded two honorary degrees. In 1904 the Jewish Theological Seminary of America awarded him the Doctor of Divinity degree and in 1925 the Hebrew Union College awarded him the degree of Doctor of Hebrew Letters.

On November 11, 1890 Schulman was married to Emma Weinberg. They had four children: Mitchell Simon, Aubry Aaron, Walter Harris and Dorothy.

Samuel Schulman died in New York City on November 2, 1955 at the age of 91.
