Isaac Harby (1788–1828), from Charleston, South Carolina, was an early 19th-century teacher, playwright, literary critic, journalist, newspaper editor, and advocate of reforms in Judaism. His ideas were some of the precedents behind the development of Reform Judaism. Harby's writings were anti-Northern, anti-abolitionist, and staunchly supportive of slavery. "We wish to worship God, not as slaves of bigotry and priestcraft but as the enlightened descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob." His granddaughter Lee Cohen Harby (1849–1918), a writer, was also born in Charleston.
