Marcus Jastrow was a Talmudic scholar and author of the widely used Talmudic dictionary which bears his name in popular parlance. He was rabbi of the Orthodox congregation Rodeph Shalom in Philadelphia from 1866 to 1892. Under his leadership, the congregation acquired an organ and was initially allowed to join the Reform movement. However, after the Reform Movement rallied around its radical "Pittsburgh Platform," he withdrew his congregation from the movement.
