Rabbi Yirmiyahu Rosenbaum

1713 CE1805 CE · Acharonim · Mattersburg

A Polish-born communal rabbi and posek, Rabbi Yirmiyahu ben Yitzchak Rosenbaum of Mattersdorf served as chief rabbi of Mattersburg and later of Abaújszánto in the Habsburg lands. His primary work, Moda'ah Rabbah, is a commentary on Rabbi Chaim Shabbetai's Torat Chayim and reflects his engagement with complex areas of halacha. Through this sefer and his communal leadership he became associated with the rabbinic tradition of the Mattersdorf community.

What they did here

Born in Oswiecim in Galicia around 1750, he was the son of Rabbi Yitzchak Rosenbaum, who served as head rabbi of Oswiecim. He grew up in a rabbinic household that was part of the broader Polish Jewish community of the region. The Rosenbaum family name appears already at this stage, prior to his later association with Mattersdorf.
