(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Nahum Norbert Glatzer was an Austrian and American scholar of Jewish history and philosophy from antiquity to mid 20th century. Life Glatzer was born in Lemberg, then part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire . At the start of World War I his family moved westward to Bodenbach in Silesia where Norbert attended Gymnasium. At age 17, his father sent him to study with Solomon Breuer in Frankfurt, Germany with the intention that he would become a Rabbi. After encountering the circle of Jewish intellectuals, including Franz Rosenzweig, around Rabbi Nehemiah Anton Nobel he decided against the rabbinate. In July 1920, Rosenzweig invited Glatzer to join the newly-established Freies Jüdisches Lehrhaus, where he taught biblical exegesis, Hebrew, and the Midrash. He also prepared an index of the Jewish sources for the second edition of Rosenzweig's The Star of Redemption. Glatzer completed a doctoral dissertation at the Goethe University Frankfurt in December 1931 under the supervision of Martin Buber, Paul Tillich and Jacob Horowitz. In 1932, Glatzer became Lecturer in Jewish Religious Philosophy and Ethics at the university, succeeding Buber.
