Notities over Benjamin Hirsch Henry Asch

Obit: father was a corn merchant--Moses Ascher. Half brother Simeon,chazan of Great Synagogue.

1841 census resident with Simon Asher b. Holland

Hebrew scholar and author; born in 1812 at Peisern (grand duchy of Poznan, Wlkp., Poland ); died Feb. 24, 1893, in London. His father, a corn-merchant, gave his son a careful religious and secular education. In 1840 Asher went to England, where he soon mastered the English language, and, in 1843, was elected "ssabranim Rabbi" (funeral preacher) of the Great Synagogue. In 1847 he published a new edition of the well-known "Sefer ssayyim" (The Book of Life), with an English translation. In 1859 he published Sol Salomon ben Gabirol's "Mibssar ha-Peninim" (A Choice of Pearls), embracing a collection of ethical aphorisms, maxims, and reflections, accompanied by an English text and explanatory notes. He wrote two other works of minor importance, "Initiation of Youth" (1850), a small catechism, and the ritual for the "Dedication of the House." In 1884 he resigned his office, which he had held for over forty years. Asher obtained from Sir George Grey several concessions for Jewish prisoners, to enable them to observe their religion.

It is not without significance that the beginnings of the Jewish press in London coincided in point of time with the stress of the Reform controversy. Both "The Voice of Jacob," edited by Jacob Franklin, and "The Jewish Chronicle," edited by D. Meldola and Moses Angelthe latter of whom had in the preceding year become head master of the Jews' Free School, over which he was to preside for nearly half a centurycame into existence in 1841. About the same time a band of German Jewish scholars established themselves in England and helped to arouse a greater interest in Jewish literature on scientific principles than had been hitherto displayed. Among these should be especially mentioned Joseph Zedner, keeper of the Hebrew books in the British Museum; the eccentric but versatile Leopold Dukes; H. Filipowski; L. Loewe Loewy Loew; B. H. Asher; T. Theodores; Albert Lowy; and Abraham Benisch, who was to guide the fortunes of "The Jewish Chronicle" during the most critical years of its career.

Probate 1791 pounds to wife Hannah.
