Biography[edit]
Emmanuel Deutz was born in 1763 in Bonn, Germany.[1][2]
Deutz served as a rabbi in Koblenz, Germany.[2] He served as the Chief Rabbi of France from 1810 to 1842.[3][4] Nevertheless, Deutz was not a fluent French speaker.[1]
Deutz had a wife, Judith, and five children.[2] His daughter Sarah married David Paul Drach.[3] When Drach converted to Roman Catholicism, the couple separated.[2] Meanwhile, one of Deutz's sons, Simon Deutz, also converted to Roman Catholicism.[2]
Deutz died in 1842.[1]
