Isaac (Yitzhak) Rülf (February 10, 1831 – September 18, 1902) was a Jewish teacher, journalist and philosopher.
He became widely known for his aid work and as a prominent early Zionist. Rülf was born in Rauischholzhausen, Hesse, Germany.
He received a teaching certificate in 1849, became an assistant to the county rabbi and then taught in other small communities.
He received his rabbinical certificate in 1854 from the University of Marburg and his Ph.D in 1865 at the University of Rostock.
That year he became the rabbi of Memel, East Prussia.Rülf first found fame for his part in the 'Jankel Widutzky case' in which an English minister attempted to convert Widutzky, a Jewish youth, in Memel.
Rülf attacked the missionary in the article Jankel Widutzky, der den Händen der Judenbekehrungs Mission entzogene Knabe (1867), sparking indignation in Germany.
Widutzky was thus not converted and entered Rabbinical college.
