Samuel Poznanski was a leading representative of reformed Judaism in Warsaw. In 1921, the committee of the Grand Synagogue at Tlomackie street proposed his appointment as member of the Warsaw council of rabbis. The Warsaw Jewish community, led by assimilators, consented to it while Orthodox Jews protested against the move and actually resorted to street demonstrations. Samuel Poznanski died shortly after the approval of his appointment by the State authorities. The advocates of reformed Judaism proposed the Lvov Professor Mojzesz Schorr as his successor. Schorr took the office in 1923 and held it until the outbreak of World War II.
