<p><br /></p>
<p> Rabbi David de Sola Pool (1885-1970) was a Sephardic rabbi par excellence, descended from a storied and prominent rabbinic family, who counted among them leaders of the Sephardic Diaspora in Western Europe and North America. London-born, he became the assistant rabbi at Shearith Israel in New York in 1907, succeeding its rabbi, H. Pereira Mendes, in 1921. Rabbi de Sola Pool led the congregation until retirement in 1955, and was rabbi emeritus until his death. He translated the Hagadah, Sephardic Siddur, and later Ashkenazic one, and both were staples in modern Orthodox synagogues for decades. Also a historian, he wrote many books about Jewish life in Colonial America, as well as a definitive account of the history of Shearith Israel, with his wife Tamar (daughter of Rabbi Chaim Hirschenson, 1857-1935), and with whom he co-wrote several other books of inspiring and scholarly Jewish content.</p>
