1756 CE–1831 CE · Acharonim · Nitra
Rabbi David Deutsch (1756–1831), also known as David ben Menahem Mendel, was a rabbi and Talmudic author active in Moravia and the Kingdom of Hungary. He studied under Ezekiel Landau, the Prague authority known as the Noda BiYehudah. Deutsch held a succession of rabbinical posts, beginning at Jamnitz (Jemnice) from 1784 to 1790, and continuing at Frauenkirchen and Szerdahely. From 1810 he led the community of Waag-Neustadt (Nové Mesto nad Váhom) until his death. His principal work, Ohel David, gathering his Talmudic novellae across several tractates, appeared in three parts in Vienna in 1822. Related volumes followed — novellae on Yevamot (Vienna, 1825) and on Shevu'ot (Pressburg, 1830) — brought to press through the efforts of his son-in-law, Meir Ash.

About Nitra
Nitra, a city in western Slovakia, was the seat of the Nitra yeshiva, led by Rabbi Shmuel Dovid Ungar and his son-in-law Rabbi Michael Ber Weissmandl. It was the last functioning yeshiva in German-occupied Europe during the Holocaust; Weissmandl was a central figure in wartime rescue efforts, and the yeshiva was later re-established in the United States.
