Samuel Hirsch Square

NachDenkMa at Samuel-Hirsch-Square in Thalfang. In July 2017, Minister-President Malu Dreyer unveiled the NachDenkMa at Samuel-Hirsch-Square in Thalfang. This honors the significant religious philosopher and rabbi Samuel Hirsch, who was born on June 8, 1815, in Thalfang. The initiative is carried out by the Working Group Jewish Life in Thalfang under the leadership of Elmar Ittenbach. In 1842, Samuel Hirsch wrote in the preface of his work 'The Philosophy of Religion of the Jews': 'Understanding is the key word of our time, the undeniable need for all circumstances.'
