As one of the founders (in 1957) of the liberal Congregation Solel in Highland Park, Ill., Wolf spoke out against the Vietnam War and for civil rights. He later served (1972–80) as a chaplain at Yale University but returned to Chicago to become rabbi at KAM Isaiah Israel Congregation, where he remained until his retirement in 2000. In addition, Wolf was the author of several books and a founding editor of the Jewish magazine Sh'ma.
