Yedidiah Tiah Weil was one of the leading scholars in the second half of the eighteenth century in Central Europe. He came from a line of rabbinic personalities going back to the 13th century Rabbi Meir of Rothenburg. He received his early instruction from his father Netanel, the famed author of Korban Netan'el. In 1744 he married Gitel, daughter of Jacob Eger, a well-to-do resident of Prague. The expulsion of the Jews from Prague led him to Metz in 1745, where he remained until 1748, continuing his studies under Jonathan Eybeschütz. In 1770 he succeeded his father as rabbi of Carlsruhe. His will shows him to have been a man of great piety who was particularly knowledgeable in Kabbalah. He authored many works, only one of which he printed: "HaMarbeh L'Sapeir", a commentary on the Passover Haggadah. Wishing to conceal his identity as the author, he published it anonymously and even wrote an approbation to it to give the impression that it was written by someone else. Other works of his have been published in recent years.
