Who was Isaac Harby?
Isaac Harby was an early 19th-century teacher, playwright, literary critic, journalist and newspaper editor and advocate of reforms in Judaism in Charleston, South Carolina. His ideas were some of the precedents behind the development of Reform Judaism.
Harby came from a Sephardic Jewish family. He and some associates created a new synagogue in the 1820s because they felt the existing Sephardic ritural was too hard to understand.
