Yissachar Eilenburg

Rabbi Yissachar Eilenburg (1570–1620) was a rabbi in the district of Goritz and later in Austerlitz, Moravia. Born in Posen, he studied in yeshivot in Posen and in Prague. He wrote Be’er Sheva, a series of seven commentaries on the treatises of the Babylonian Talmud for which there are no tosafot commentaries. In the back of this commentary, he included a collection of responsa. Eilenburg also wrote Tzeidah LaDerekh, a supercommentary on Rashi’s Torah commentary.
