Rabbi Nathan Marcus Adler (1803-1890) was the second chief rabbi of the British Empire. He was born in Hanover and was named after his illustrious grandfather, the Kabbalist Rabbi Nathan Adler of Frankfurt. He was rabbinically ordained at the age of 19, and appointed rabbi of Würzburg, where he also studied at the local university. He received his doctorate, and that same year he was appointed rabbi of the small community in Oldenburg, where he served for about two years, and was then appointed rabbi of the country. He was the first chief rabbi of Germany to hold a doctorate, and was considered one of the pioneers of the modern rabbinate. He was appointed rabbi of the Great Synagogue in London in 1845 and served as rabbi of the British Empire.
