Shmelke of Nikolsburg. In 1772 he immigrated to Germany where he began to serve as Rabbi of Frankfurt am Main, a position he held for over 33 years.

Famous both in his generation and afterwards for his sharp acumen (even generations later, when a Torah scholar would deliver a deep, straightforward and sharp pilpul, he would be compared to the Machaneh Levi). He corresponded with leading Torah scholars of his generation, including R. Akiva Eiger and his brother-in-law R. Tzvi Yehoshua HaLevi Horowitz, Rabbi of Tarnów. His sons and descendants became leading Torah scholars, including R. Yoel of Brody and R. Yaakov Yehoshua, son-in-law of R. Efraim Zalman Margaliot of Brody.
