Landau, Jecheskel

a German Rabbi of note, was born about 1720. He flourished first as Rabbi of Jampol, Podolia, and later as chief Rabbi of Prague. He died in 1793. While yet a young man Landau gave promise of great ability as a polemic, and he displayed this quality to great advantage in the Sabbatarian controversy which raged between Eibeschtitz, (See TZ">JONATHAN EIBESCH TZ), and Emden. See.Griitz, Gesch. der Juden, volume 10, chapter 11, especially pages 409, 415, 438 F rst, Biblioth. Jud. 2:216 sq.
