Yosselle of Roseheim was a famous "shtadlan" or interceder on behalf of fellow Jews but he admittedly worked alone. You can read about him in the Jewish Encyclopedia at http://www.jewishencyclopedia.com/articles/8802-josel-joselmann-joselin-of-rosheim-joseph-ben-gershon-loanz
---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Aviva Adler <[email protected]> Date: Wed, Oct 7, 2015 at 12:21 PM Subject: [ha-Safran] Looking for examples of Jewish Advocacy throughout history To: [email protected] Hello all- I am looking for examples of Jews advocating for government help/protection/safety any time throughout Jewish history. This article in Tablet magazine draws a comparison between rabbis protesting the Iran deal and a similar march during WWII when American rabbis advocated for US aid for European Jews http://www.tabletmag.com/scroll/193387/the-rabbis-take-washington# Does anyone have similar examples or can help with where to start looking? There must be hundreds of examples, but need help with a starting point or a way to narrow it down.
