Joachim (Ḥayyim) Oppenheim:

Rabbi and author; born at Eibenschütz, Moravia, Sept. 29, 1832; died at Berlin April 27, 1891. Having received his first instruction from his father, Bernhard Oppenheim, rabbi of Eibenschütz, he went to Brünn, where he attended the gymnasium (1849-53), and then entered the University of Vienna, continuing his Talmudic studies under Rabbi Lazar Horowitz. Having graduated in 1857, he succeeded his brother David as rabbi of Jamnitz in 1858, and his father as rabbi of Eibenschütz in 1860, and in 1868 he was called to Thorn; this last rabbinate he held till his death, which occurred in Berlin, where he had undergone a surgical operation.

Of Oppenheim's independent publications two sermons only are known, entitled "Das Tal-Gebet" (Vienna, 1862); but he was a frequent and valued contributor to Jewish scientific magazines. He wrote by preference in Hebrew. Oppenheim contributed to Frankel's "Monatsschrift," Sonneschein's "Homiletische Monatsschrift," Kobak's "Jeschurun," "Ha-Maggid," "Ha-Karmel," "Ha-Shaḥar," "Bet Talmud," and to various Hebrew year-books. His history of the compilation of the Mishnah, "Toledot ha-Mishnah," published originally in the second volume of the "Bet Talmud," was printed separately (Presburg, 1882).

His son Berthold Oppenheim is rabbi of Olmütz.
