Yirmiyahu Rosenbaum

1713 CE1805 CE · Acharonim · Oswiecim

Rabbi Yirmiyahu Rosenbaum was an eighteenth-century rabbi and halakhic authority born in Oświęcim (Oshpitzin), in Galicia, where his father, Rabbi Isaac, served the local community. Around 1770 he was called to lead the congregation of Mattersdorf (Mattersburg), one of the historic Sheva Kehillot of the Burgenland region, and in keeping with a widespread custom he took the town's name as his own. There he headed a yeshiva; among those who studied with him was the young Simcha Bunim, later the Hasidic teacher of Peshischa. In 1801 he assumed the rabbinate of Abaújszántó, in Hungary. He is remembered chiefly for Moda'ah Rabbah, a commentary on the Moda'a ve-Ones of Rabbi Chaim ben Shabbetai. He died in Aszód, Hungary, in 1805.
