ADLER, NATHAN MARCUS (1803-189o), British chief rabbi, was born at Hanover, Jan. 15, 1803, and died at Brighton, England on Jan. 21, 1890. He took his degree of Ph.D. at Er langen in 1828. He was ordained in the same year, was chief rabbi of Oldenburg (1829), and of Hanover in 1830, and on Oct. 13, 1844, was elected chief rabbi in London. Here he originated and carried out his scheme for a Jew's college for the training of teachers, which was founded in London on Nov. II, 1855, with himself as its first president. In 186o Adler suggested the estab lishment of a United Synagogue which should bring all the Brit ish congregations under one central administration; this idea was realized in 1870, when the United Synagogue bill was passed in parliament. Adler's writings include sermons and commentaries on Hebrew texts, the best known of which is Nethinah la-ger, a commentary on the Aramaic paraphrase of Onkelos on the Penta teuch (1874).
