The first mention of a St\u00fchlingen rabbi was less than auspicious: \u201c<\/span>David Jew of Eberfingen and Marx Jew, the rabbi of St\u00fchlingen, have beaten each other bloody<\/span>\u201d [R1545]<\/span><\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n

St\u00fchlingen does not appear to have had its own rabbi between 1660 and 1680. In 1660 the resolution of a quarrel between Jacob N\u00f6wenburger (Z8<\/span><\/a>) and Calmeli (G1.2.1<\/span><\/a>) regarding an issue of family law had to be deferred \u201cuntil a rabbi comes to town\u201d [R3799]<\/span><\/a>. Joneli (G1.4<\/span><\/a>) had to pay a fine in 1660 because he had brought his problem before Rabbi Matheis in Tiengen [R3841]<\/span><\/a>. Apparently it was not unusual for small, rural Jewish communities in Swabia to flourish without a resident rabbi.28<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

But occasionally a rabbi was employed in St\u00fchlingen. In 1684 a \u201cJew Lidtmann, hitherto the rabbi in St\u00fchlingen, sues Schmulin Calmelin\u2019s son [G1.2.2.1<\/span><\/a>] for the return of a credit of 30 Reichstaler plus interest\u2026\u201d [R1354]<\/span><\/a>. A local rabbi also was present in 1729 [R2204]<\/span><\/a>. In 1741 the community dismissed Rabbi Falck Levi, two years before the community was abolished, \u201cbecause his services were no longer required\u201d [R1168]<\/span><\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n

In several cases, authorities and secular courts required the assistance of community elders or other knowledgeable Jews to interpret specific aspects of Jewish laws, mainly family law [R1009]<\/span><\/a>. Occasionally, even external rabbis from as far away as Frankfurt had to be consulted to solve particularly intractable problems [R2253<\/span><\/a>, R90<\/span><\/a>]. These findings are compatible with the conclusion of Augusta Wedler-Steinberg that a single common rabbi served the Jewish communities of Tiengen, St\u00fchlingen, Endingen, and Lengnau during most of the seventeenth century and may have resided in any of these places at one time or another.29<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In contrast to the rabbi, cantors (Vorsinger) and beadles (Schulklopfer) seemed to have had a more permanent role in the St\u00fchlingen community:30<\/a><\/span><\/span> \u201cBeer Jew from Prague, currently the cantor of the local Jews, is fined 10 fl. for attempting to defraud a man at the Zurzach fair\u201d [R3765]<\/span><\/a>. It is likely that the cantor led the synagogue service, a role well established as \u201cenvoy of the congregation\u201d (shaliach tzibur).31<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
