Pinchas HaLevi Horowitz
Also known as The Hafla'ah
1731 CE–1805 CE · Acharonim · Chortkov
R. Pinchas HaLevi Horowitz (1731-1805), known as the Hafla'ah, was the chief rabbinic judge (Av Beit Din) of Frankfurt am Main from 1772 until his death and one of the most original later authorities of Jewish law (the Acharonim) of the late-18th century. Brother of R. Shmelke of Nikolsburg and a close student of the Maggid of Mezeritch, he did something unexpected: though he stood with the rabbinic establishment that opposed the new Hasidic movement, he was among the first such leaders to adopt the Hasidic prayer-rite (Nusach Sefard) in his Frankfurt congregation. His Hafla'ah (on Tractate Ketubot) and Sefer HaMakneh (on Tractate Kiddushin) are foundational yeshiva texts, and his Panim Yafot Torah commentary is widely studied. His student R. Moshe Sofer (the Chasam Sofer) succeeded him as the leading Hungarian Acharon.
