Abstract

Immanuel Löw (1854–1944), the Chief Rabbi of Szeged, Hungary, was one of the most significant Neolog (progressive) rabbis and scholars of his day, with scholarly interests spanning various fields. He wrote his folkloristic study The Kiss, a piece on kissing in Jewish and non-Jewish literature, in 1882, in Hungarian in its first version, for the wedding of a friend. He extended this essay and translated it into German in 1920, during the thirteen months he was held in detention and house arrest on false accusations. A hitherto unknown postcard written by Ignaz Goldziher to Löw in the summer of 1882, concerning the first version of The Kiss, will be discussed in this paper.
