About Rabbi Aron Tauber, Dayan
Aron Tauber was a Rabbi and was referred to as “our great teacher”. He was born in Boskowitz [Boskovice] in 1747. In adulthood, he went to Holesov where he likely served as a rabbi and taught. Aron Tauber was married c1768, to Schewe Knopfelmacher [b. 1749]. She died in Feb 1817: “Schewe Tauber, age 68, d. household #29, 26 Feb 1817.” She was the daughter of Rabbi Moises Knopfelmacher (1718-1798) of Holesov, and his first wife, Nissel (Knopfelmacher) Knopfelmacher.
In March 1774, “Moises Joachim Leipniker”, aka Rabbi Moises Knopfelmacher, and his second wife, Rebeka “daughter of Salomon”, deeded occupancy rights of House No. 35 in Holesov to their “son-in-law, Arron Tauber”. Aaron and Schewe Tauber resided in House No. 35 until Aron's death. He died in Holesov on 22 Jan 1815, whereupon Schewe (Knopfelmacher) Tauber, moved to nearby household #29 (where she died two years later).
Aron Tauber owned Synagogue Seat #106. A document reflecting contains both German and Hebrew writing. The German portion has been translated as follows: “The upper seat Number 106 in the old house on 21 is for Aron Tauber, but is refused a Staender.” The Hebrew writing has been translated as follows: “the place over 106 is written in the book of the old house 21 and belongs to the rabbi, our teacher and rabbi, Aron chet-mem-mem-lamed (C.M.M.L.), without a staender.” The acronym “C.M.M.L.” has been translated to mean “Aron, son-in-law of Rabbi M. L.” “Rabbi M. L.” was Rabbi Moises Leipniker, aka Rabbi Moises Knopfelmacher, whose daughter Schewe he married.
All other documents with Hebrew writing next to his name are translated similarly with the exception of one. On 13 Mar 1787, his name appears (with two other men) as “Aron Moises”. The Hebrew writing next to his name, difficult to decipher, has been translated as “Aharon Moises, of YL” [Yehuda Leib] -- possibly meaning Aharon, son of Moises of the Yehuda Leib family
His gravestone in Holesov — still standing — indicates that he was from Boskowitz and was a Dayan [religious judge]. The Hebrew inscription also has letters which seem to translate to “Tantseva”, a possible reference to his wife, Schewe [or Sheva].
Hebrew inscription on gravestone:
נפטר יום א יא שבט תקעה/ה ל
פנ
/== פגמ* ==/
הה התורני מוה אהרן דיין
מבאסקוויץ זצל : תנצבה
General translation:
“Mr. Aharon, dayan from Boskovice, died 11 Shvat 5575 (January 22, 1815) — [with reference to ‘Tantseva’]”
