Morris Lissack (1814-1895) was a Jewish-English author and communal worker. Born in Prussia he emigrated to England in 1835, and in 1839 settled as a 'teacher of languages and dealer in jewelry' at Bedford, where he lived for nearly a half-century. He became a trustee of the Harpur Charity, Bedford, and took advantage of his position to secure concessions in favour of Jewish pupils. He was also an active worker in the cause of Jewish emancipation.
