Joseph David Sinzheim
Joseph David Sinzheim (1745 – November 11, 1812 in Paris) was the chief rabbi of Strasbourg. He was son of Rabbi Isaac Sinzheim of Treves, and brother-in-law of Herz Cerfbeer. Biography Sinzheim was the most learned and prominent member of the Assembly of Notables convened by Napoleon on May 30, 1806.

On February 9, 1807, four days after the Assembly of Notables was dissolved, the Grand Sanhedrin was convened; its chairman ("nasi"), appointed by the min ...
