R. Hayyim Brody (Heinrich, 1868–1942), the grandson of R. Solomon Ganzfried (Kizzur Shulhan Arukh), studied at the Bratislava (Pressburg) Yeshivah and at the Rabbinical Seminary in Berlin where he also attended university. R. Brody became a Zionist while serving as rabbi in Nachod, Bohemia. After the establishment of the Mizrachi in 1902 he became president of the Hungarian organization. R. Brody went to Prague in 1905 to head the local talmud torah and after the death of R. Nathan Ehrenfeld became, in 1912, chief rabbi of Prague. Brody expressed his views on Zionism and the role of religion in a pamphlet (published under the nom de plume H. Salomonsohn) Widerspricht der Zionismus unserer Religion? (1898). R. Brody was also a researcher of Sephardi piyyutim and medieval Hebrew poetry, issuing several important works in that field.
