MIRELS, MESHULLAM ZALMAN BEN DAVID (NEUMARK):

By: Gotthard Deutsch, S. Mannheimer

German rabbi; born about 1620 at Vienna; died Nov. 28, 1706, at Altona. When, in 1670, the Jews were expelled from Vienna, he and his son Zeeb Wolf and other members of the Mirels family emigrated to Berlin. A few years later (1678) Mirels was elected chief rabbi ("ab bet din") of the communities Altona, Hamburg, and Wandsbeck, which position he held until his death. He was the father of a large family, ramified through Poland and Lithuania, and lived to see the fifth generation. His daughter Sarah was the wife of Ẓebi Ashkenazi (Ḥakam Ẓebi) and the mother of Jacob Emden.

One responsum written by Mirels is found in the collection "Eben ha-Shoham." See also Jew. Encyc. i. 474, s. v. Altona.

Here is buried

Perfect in virtues, Elderly head of the Yeshiva

The three communities, to judge with calm contemplation.

He humbly suffered diseases, his works were "delicious oil,"

Crowned with praises, a dying light of Israel,

Sharp in discovery, "moist ginger”

Humble with words before the Eternal, (from) the family Neumark,

The Outstanding Scholar, Exemplary of the generation, Chairman of the beth Din and Head of the Yeshiva

Our teacher and master, Meschullam Salman, son of our teacher and master,

Jaakow David Koppel, of blessed memory, departed

And buried, Sunday, 22nd Kislev 467

Of the small count.
