Polish rabbi; died at Warsaw in 1838. After having filled the position of rabbi at Mashelsk and Praga, he was called to the rabbinate of Warsaw, which he held until his death. Solomon carried on a scientific correspondence with Akiba Eger and Jacob of Lissa. He was the author of "Ḥemdat Shelomoh" (2 vols., Warsaw, 1816), containing responsa on the Shulḥan 'Aruk and novellæ on several Talmudical treatises; and he left in manuscript numerous Talmudical novellæ, two volumes of which, comprising novellæ on Yebamot, Ketubot, Ḳiddushim, Giṭṭin, and BabaBatra, were published under the above-mentioned title by his son and son-in-law.
