Levi Herzfeld (1810-84) was a rabbi and historian. Herzfeld, who was born in Ellrich, Germany, studied Talmud under Abraham Bing in Wuerzburg and Samuel Eger at Braunschweig and at Berlin University. He first served as dayyan under Eger, whose successor as the chief rabbi of the duchy of Braunschweig he became in 1842. As a spokesman of moderate Reform, Herzfeld, in association with L. Philippson, convened the first Rabbinical Conference in Braunschweig (1844) and also took a leading part in the two following conferences of 1845 and 1846. He and Philippson headed the Institut zur Foerderung der israelitischen Literatur. (EJ).
