He was born in Germany in 5542 (1782) and passed away in Danzig (Gdansk) in 5620 (1860). One of the great wise men of European Jewry, he was a Rav, author and one of the important commentators of the Mishnayos (Oral Law). The cities where he served as Rav included Veronka, Dasso and Kulmer. His commentary on the Mishna (Oral Law), the “Tiferes Yisrael,” achieved wide distribution and is printed in all the editions of Mishnayos today. It includes many original chidushim - novel explanations. In the second edition put out by his son in 1862 it was divided into two sections: the plain meaning of the text of the Mishna called “Yachin,” and the chidushim, contained in “Boaz.” These names were based on the names of two pillars in King Solomon’s Temple.
