Seckel Isaac Fränkel (1765âÂÂ1835) was a German-Jewish communal activist and scholar. In 1818, when the new Hamburg Temple was formally inaugurated, Fränkel, with Meyer Israel Bresselau, published a new prayer book for the Temple, considered the first Reform liturgy.
He was also translated most of the Jewish apocrypha from Greek into Hebrew (1830).
