Michtav Sofer

1820 CE–1883 CE · Acharonim · Krakow (Cracow)

Rabbi Shimon Sofer, known after his major work *Michtav Sofer*, served as chief rabbi of Kraków and continued the legacy of his father, the Chasam Sofer, in opposing religious reforms. A halakhist and Talmudist, he authored novellae and commentary that reflected his adherence to traditional Orthodox Judaism. His tenure in Kraków solidified his role as a leader among Galician Orthodox Jews in both religious and communal matters.
