Rabbi Natan Shneituch, a member of the great rabbinical court of Fürth, was the prominent disciple of the famous Rabbi Avraham Wolf Hamburg, author of Shimlat Binyamin. “…The righteous and pious sage, Rabbi Natan Shneituch ztz”l, was known for his Torah knowledge and righteousness…” (Rabbi Shmuel Bamberger, son of the Rabbi of Würzburg). His brother was the renowned Kabbalist Rabbi Yitzchak Ben Meir Shneituch. In his final years, he emigrated to the Land of Israel.
Rabbi Yehuda Leib Halberstadt (d. 1831), a close disciple of the Pnei Yehoshua and a member of the great rabbinical court of Fürth, served alongside the famous Rabbi Wolf Hamburg, author of Simlat Binyamin. One of his disciples was the famous Rabbi Dov Bamberger, "the Rabbi of Würzburg." A letter from Rabbi Halberstadt and Rabbi Wolf is printed in the Responsa Chatam Sofer (Even Ha’ezer, Section 4).
Rabbi Yochanan Tzvi Hirsch, son of Rabbi Mordechai Shlank (1815–1884), immigrated to the Land of Israel in 1838 and was among the rabbis of Jerusalem. He was actively involved in supporting the Jewish settlement in the Holy Land. His father, Rabbi Mordechai, was one of the great scholars of Pressburg during the time of the Chatam Sofer and is mentioned in his responsa (Responsa Chatam Sofer, Vol. 5, Siman 55). The Ktav Sofer referred to his father as “a righteous and exalted man” (Responsa Ktav Sofer, Yoreh De’ah, Siman 112).
