Chatam Sófer (Moshe Schreiber)
(24. 9. 1762 Frankfurt am Main - 3. 10. 1839 Bratislava)
- chief Bratislava rabbi (1806 - 1839) and greatest Jewish scholar of the last century. Rabbis from all over Europe came to Bratislava to seek his advice or adjudication in matters both religious and secular. In his Rabbinical College he educated hundreds of rabbis who went on to work all over the world. He was also known for his writings, which included the seven volumes of The Responsa of Chatam Sófer, Exegeses to Talmudic Tractates, Exegeses to Selected Passages from the Talmud, the Torah of Moses - Exegeses to the five books of Moses, Recollections of the Siege of Bratislava by Napoleon´s Troops and Religious Songs. Chatam Sófer´s mausoleum in Bratislava is an unusual and remarkable monument.
