Eleasar Fleckeles

Elazar Fleckeles was a prominent Bohemian rabbi, author, and halakhic authority who served as the presiding judge of the rabbinical court in Prague. A leading disciple of Rabbi Yechezkel Landau, Fleckeles was a central figure in 18th- and early 19th-century European Jewish life, known for his prolific responsa, his spellbinding oratory, and his vigorous defense of rabbinic tradition against the internal threats of Sabbatianism and Frankism.
