Julius Eckman (1805 Rawicz, then in Prussia now in Poland - 5 July 1874 San Francisco, California) was a journalist and rabbi.
Eckman studied at Berlin, and, after teaching for a few years, emigrated to Mobile, Alabama in 1846. Subsequently he officiated in New Orleans, Charleston, San Francisco, and Portland, Oregon. Eckman established the “Gleaner” (in 1900 it was called the “Hebrew Observer”) in San Francisco, and worked zealously to arouse the religious sentiment of the community. He belonged to the strict conservative school, and was noted for his scholarship.
