Morris Silverman led Emanuel Synagogue, the largest Conservative congregation in Connecticut, for thirty-eight years (1923-1961). He was born into an Orthodox household in Newburgh, New York in 1894. In 1922 he received rabbinic ordination and a doctorate in Hebrew literature from the Jewish Theological Seminary. He was prominent in organizations of the Conservative movement, serving in various positions at the Rabbinical Assembly and the United Synagogue and on the Jewish Theological Seminary's Board of Overseers. In 1963, he went on a world tour, sponsored by the Department of State, to speak about civil rights in the United States.
