Marcus Melchior (1897 – 1969) was the rabbi of the main synagogue in Copenhagen, Denmark, at the time of the rescue of the Danish Jews in October 1943, during the Second World War.[1] After escaping with his family and other Danish Jews to Sweden, he served as the acting rabbi for the Jewish refugees in Sweden until the end of the war, in mid 1945. In 1947 he became the chief rabbi of Denmark, a post he held until his death, in 1969.
Melchior came from a prominent Jewish family in Denmark.[2] After receiving his rabbinical diploma from the Hildesheimer Rabbinical Seminary, in Berlin, Germany, in 1921, he served as a rabbi in Tarnowskie Góry, Poland, from 1921 to 1923, and in Beuthen, Germany (today, Bytom, Poland), from 1925 to 1934.[2] He then moved to Copenhagen, Denmark, and became rabbi for the Jewish community there.[2] From 1943 to 1945 he was acting rabbi for the Jewish refugees from Denmark in Sweden.[2] Following the death of Max Friediger, in 1947, he became chief rabbi in Denmark.[2] After World War II he pleaded for reconciliation with the new Germany.
Though his background was Orthodox, his rhetorical skills and his culturally open attitudes made him a popular lecturer also outside Jewish circles.
He fathered four sons and two daughters, among them Arne Melchior (who became a frontbench Danish politician and government minister) and Binyamin (Bent) Melchior. In 1969, the latter succeeded his father as chief rabbi in Copenhagen, and is the father of Michael Melchior, who is chief rabbi in Norway and emigrated to Israel in 1986 where he became a member of the Knesset for the Labour-Meimad faction. He was also the grandfather of Rabbi Ove "Uri" Schwarz who served as the Chief Rabbi of Finland 1982–1987.
Bent Melchior (born 24 June 1929) is a former chief rabbi of Denmark.
His father, Marcus Melchior, was instrumental in the saving of the Danish Jews in 1943,[1] and became chief rabbi of Denmark in 1947.[2] From October 1943 to mid 1945 Bent Melchior and his family lived as refugees in Sweden.[1] Melchior served as a soldier in the 1947–1949 Palestine war, beginning in pre-statehood battles in 1947.[3] Subsequently, at the age of 21, he received a Ph.D. from Copenhagen University.[3]
After a period as a teacher in Copenhagen Melchior had his rabbinical education in London, and in 1963 he became rabbi at the synagogue in Copenhagen. When his father died in 1969, he succeeded him as chief rabbi for the Jewish community in Denmark. He has translated the Pentateuch, the Siddur (Jewish prayer book) and other books into Danish as well as writing several books including his autobiography. He is a prolific speaker and writer in the Danish community and media.
Bent Melchior retired from the Rabbinate in 1996.
