Between 1885 and 1895 he studied philosophy at the University of Budapest and was a student at the Rabbinical Seminary. In addition to Hungarian, Hebrew, Romanian and German, he knew Arabic, Turkish and Tatar. After obtaining the diploma of rabbi and doctor of philosophy, in 1896 he was elected rabbi as the successor of Rabbi Bertalan Kohlbach, then first rabbi at the synagogue in Fabric, Timi\u015foara, where he held this position until his death. Initially it belonged to the status-quo-ante current, which, since 1920, joined the neolog current in the Union of Western Rite Communities in Transylvania and Banat.<\/span><\/p>\n

For a short time he served as the campaign rabbi of the Honvez army in the First World War. He was a member of the presidium of the Hungarian Israeli Literary Society, which he founded. He carried out a sustained activity in the Fabric Comrade Association.<\/p>\n

As a historian of religions, he has published numerous articles and studies in Hungarian and German on the history of Judaism in the Timi\u015foara region in newspapers, magazines published in Budapest and Timi\u015foara, as well as in independent volumes. <\/span><\/p>\n

He enjoyed great prestige in the community and in the city. In 1921, on the 25th anniversary of the activity, a celebration was organized in honor of the rabbi, attended by hundreds of people and representatives of the authorities, including the mayor of Timi\u015foara, Dr. Cornel Grofsoreanu, Archpriest Oprea, on behalf of the Greek-Eastern Church, lawyer and politician Dr. Aurel Cosma and others.<\/span><\/p>\n

In 1957, George managed to emigrate to Australia with his family. His daughter, Agi, has 7 grandchildren who are faithful to the Jewish tradition.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
