A German rabbi, who lived at Lehren-Steinsfeld, Württemberg, in the beginning of the eighteenth century. He wrote "Ha-Ohel'Olam" (Everlasting Tent), containing novellæ on the Talmudic treatise Ketubot (Frankfort-on-the-Main, 1714). Appended to it are four responsa as well as an essay from his unpublished works, on Seder Zera'im. In addition to these he left two books on Seder Ṭaharot, which are still extant in manuscript.
