Rabbi Nathan Marcus Adler first studied Torah with his father, Chief Rabbi of Hanover, and later attended both yeshiva and university, with a focus on languages. In 1845, he became the first Chief Rabbi of the British Empire to hold both a PhD and rabbinic ordination. Rabbi Adler helped found Jews’ College and the United Synagogue, and worked on behalf of children and the poor, including assisting settlement in Israel. His best-known work is Netinah LaGer, a commentary on Targum Onkelos, an Aramaic translation of the Torah.
