Gustav Gottheil was born on May 28, 1827, in Pinne, Prussia. He was the son of Bernhard and Bertha (Adersbach) Gottheil.
Gottheil's secular education culminated in the Universities of Berlin and Halle, and his Jewish studies were guided by Solomon Plessner and by such outstanding savants as Zunz and Steinschneider.
Samuel Holdheim, with whom Gottheil served as assistant preacher in the Berlin Reform Synagogue from 1855 to 1860, ordained him as a rabbi. He began a thirteen-year ministry in the Manchester Congregation of British Jews in 1860, and at its completion, he accepted the call to become an assistant rabbi to Samuel Adler in Temple Emanu-El, New York.
Eighteen months later, Adler was made rabbi emeritus, and Gottheil became the rabbi of the congregation, a position which he filled for twenty-three years until at the age of seventy-two he retired as rabbi emeritus.
In 1889, he organized the Emanu-El Sisterhood of Personal Service. Though this was not the first American synagogue organization of women for philanthropic purposes, yet Gottheil’s gift for organization, and the attractive name, Sisterhood, made it a model which was rapidly copied by synagogues throughout the city and the country. His relations with his Christian colleagues were most cordial.
As one of the founders of the New York State Conference of Religion, he assisted in editing its Book of Common Worship (1900). He held a memorial service in his Temple for Henry Ward Beecher and took part in the memorial service for Phillips Brooks.
Following in the footsteps of his orthodox predecessor, Gershom Mendes Seixas, who in the early years of the century more than once occupied the pulpit of St. Paul’s Church, Gottheil not infrequently occupied Christian pulpits.
Gottheil was a notable organizer. In 1873, he founded the Emanu-El Preparatory School, a school which gave the preliminary training to several men who subsequently became prominent in the American Rabbinate. He was one of the founders and a president of the Jewish Publication Society of America established in 1888; he organized the Association of Eastern Rabbis and was one of the founders of the New York Board of Jewish Ministers.

In the Parliament of Religions of the World at the Columbian Exposition in 1893, Gottheil was one of the representatives of Judaism.
Indicative of his liberalism is Gottheil's collection of non-Christological Hymns and Anthems Adapted for Jewish Worship (1887) later made the basis of the Union Hymnal (1897), and the Union Prayer-Book, in the preparation of which he had a determining part.
Gottheil’s influence was extensive. The orthodox Jewish masses, who opposed his religious views, were attracted by his espousal of Zionism. For Reform Jewry, he combined the Jewish, the English, and the German cultures then needed for the transition from German to American standards.
His liberalism brought him close to Christian circles. All elements alike esteemed his kindly sympathy, generosity, pastoral geniality, and sense of human understanding.
Quotations: “In ancient times, the Jews refused to eat with publicans and sinners; in modern times, publicans and sinners refuse to eat with Jews. ”
The general recognition accorded Gottheil as religious spokesman of the Jews brought out his gift for suave but fearless Jewish apologetics, in which his careful diction, his dignity, wit, and natural tact lent their persuasive force.
Gottheil's wife, Rosalie Wollman, by whom he had two daughters and three sons, died December 15, 1893.
