R. Akiva Eger (1761-1837) was one of the most outstanding, Rabbinic leaders of his time. His responsa, novellae and sermons enjoyed unprecedented praise and respect, and are to this day assiduously consulted by all Jews, universally. Although he was famously the rabbi of Posen, he signs here utilizing his father’s name, Moshe Günz of Eisenstadt.
