R. Naphtali Hirsch b. Eliezer Katzenellenbogen (d. 1823), German rabbi of Bamberg and subsequently of Hagenau, 1755-71. He was educated by his grandfather R. Samuel Helmann of Metz, and was rabbi (1794) at Frankfort-on-the-Oder and then at Winzenheim, Alsace, and at the same time president of the consistory of the Upper Rhine. He was one of the rabbis at the Paris Sanhedrin, 1806, and had the reputation of being an excellent preacher. He left in manuscript "Sha'are Binah," a commentary to Hoshen Mishpat, and another commentary to Eben ha-'Ezer, as well as a volume of sermons and ritual decisions, which are still in manuscript in the Strasburg Library.
