A request to the community that his salary be increased so that he may pay for the marriage of two children. R. [Moses] Mordecai b. Jacob Banet (1772-1850) was born in Alt Ofen and educated by his uncle and namesake R. Mordecai Banet of Nicholsburg. After his marriage to the daughter of R. Gershon ha-Kohen Stern of Batrokez he accepted the rabbinate of Setchin. In 1813 he returned to Alt Ofen and assumed his father's position of Dayyan for two years. Thereafter he left for Stomfa where he served until his passing. The Ktav Sofer in his eulogy describes R. Banet as completing the Talmud every 3 to 4 years; a scholar who was plagued by illness and pain nevertheless studied and excelled. |
