Samuel Schulman 1864-1955) “was rabbi in Helena, Montana, from 1890 to 1893, there instrumental in the building of Montana's first synagogue, Temple Emanu-El and at Kansas City, Missouri, from 1893 to 1899. He then returned to New York City 1899 where he joined Kaufman Kohler at Temple Beth-El, succeeding him in 1903. When Temple Beth-El was absorbed by Temple Emanu-El in 1927, he became rabbi of the new congregation, becoming rabbi emeritus in 1934.
On June 11, 1924, he offered the invocation at the opening of the second day of the 1924 Republican National Convention. He spoke with appreciation for ‘the Republican Party's precious heritage of the championship of human rights’ and he called for ‘every form of prejudice and misunderstanding’ to be ‘driven forever out of our land.’ Speaking of Calvin Coolidge, he praised ‘the integrity, the wisdom, the fearlessness of our beloved President’” (Wikipedia).
