5414/1653 Harav Pinchas Horowitz, zt”l, Rav of Fulda and Dayan of Prague

Harav Pinchas Halevi Horowitz was a talmid of Harav Yehoshua Hakohen Falk, the mechaber of the Sma.

His first post was as Rav and Dayan in Prague; then he served as Rav in Fulda, returning later to Prague where he lived for the rest of his life.

Rav Pinchas also headed a yeshivah, where he taught many talmidim. Among them was Harav Yosef Shamash from Wermaiza (Worms), who related that his rebbi said the Sma told him the following:

Following the churban of the first Beis Hamikdash, many Yidden settled in Wermaiza. After 70 years, when many Yidden began to return to Eretz Yisrael, they asked the golim of Wermaiza to return as well. The people who had settled there answered, “You can live in your Yerushalayim, the big city, while we will stay here in our small Yerushalayim.” This was the reason, said the Sma, that the inhabitants of the city of Wermaiza were subject to so much pain and tribulation over the centuries.

Harav Pinchas was niftar on 13 Cheshvan, 5414/1653.
