1741 CE–1800 CE · Acharonim · Boskowitz
Rabbi Nosson (Nathan) Adler was born in Frankfurt am Main in 1741 into a family of the priestly line, and he spent most of his life in that city. He studied within the circle of Jacob Joshua Falk, author of the Penei Yehoshua, and counted David Tevele Schiff among his principal teachers. Around 1761 he founded a yeshiva whose students included Moses Sofer, later known as the Chatam Sofer, alongside Abraham Bing and Seckel Loeb Wormser. Drawn to the Kabbalah of Isaac Luria, he prayed according to a Sephardic-Lurianic rite and gathered a small fellowship of like-minded students, practices that met sustained resistance from the Frankfurt community and prompted repeated bans. From 1782 to 1785 he served as rabbi in Boskowitz, Moravia, before returning to Frankfurt, where he died in 1800. His marginal notes on the Mishnah were later published as Mishnat Rabbi Natan.
