Rabbi Moshe Eisenshtadt

R. Moshe Eisenshtadt practiced in the rabbinate of Kletzk for many years. In the year 5526 (1766) he gave his approbation to the sefer “Meorei Aish” which was written by his brother-in-law Rabbi Elazar Kallir, Av Beis Din of Zabludow (next to Bialystok) and Kolin (in Austria)[7]. And [he gave his approbation to the book] “Katnos Or”[8] by his grandfather Rabbi Y. Eisenshtadt[9].

In “Or Chadash” (on Tractate Pesachim[10]) he characterized him as follows: “What I have heard from my brother-in-law, the rabbi and true genius, great scholar, heroic leader of the diaspora, its teachers and scholars, our teacher and rabbi R. Moshe, Av Beis Din of Kletzk-my cousin, the great and pious luminary, our teacher Rabbi Michoel the honorable child of my grandfather…the author of “Panim Meiros” and “Katnos Or” (Rabbi Elazar Kallir's mother was the daughter of the “Panim Meiros”). This is how he recalled his brother-in-law R. Moshe (R. Moshe's wife named Finkel was his sister) in his addition to the aforementioned “Katnos Or” written by his ancestor the “Panim Meiros” - the rabbi and great luminary, teacher and rabbi, Rabbi Moshe, Av Beis Din and head of the academy of the holy community of Kletzk.

Rabbi Moshe was a great and G-d-fearing Torah scholar, and he was known as one of the greatest leaders of his generation. With him began the magnificent Jewish surname “Eisenshtadt” in Lita, named for the place where his grandfather, the author of the “Panim Meiros” sojourned. B.Z. Eisenshtadt, who is related to this family, writes that in Kletzk, the town in which he was born, they would say about [Rabbi Moshe] their rabbi and teacher that “he conducted himself in holiness and there were wondrous stories about him. As he walked from his house to the Bet Medrash[11] the sun would walk before him and proclaim: 'Turn away, women!', for he never gazed at a woman. And when women would come to him to ask a question, he would speak with them with his head turned aside.”
