<li><b>Education and Occupation</b> –&#160;After attending yeshiva in Mannheim, R.

R. Hirsch adopted this last position - in a small, nascent Orthodox community in a city dominated by Reform – after receiving an "appeal from Frankfurt to go to the aid of a tiny group, whose very founding is, in my view, given the goals I had all my life, the most promising development that has occurred in Jewry within the last several decades. For now, for the first time, a Jewish community has been formed, which is openly and proudly dedicated to a most holy principle, in an area which has been successfully conquered by the faces of confusion. What can I do! This holy cause is the very one to which I have consecrated my life." See Hildesheimer, "Historical Perspectives".</fn> His rabbinic activities focused on battling Reform Judaism and developing the Torah im Derekh Eretz school of Modern Orthodoxy.<fn>Sometimes termed "neo-Orthodoxy". This school encourages general education along with traditional Jewish education, as well as involvement in general society and culture.</fn> </li>
