- LIPSCHUTZ, ELIEZER BEN SOLOMON (d. 1750), rabbi and
talmudist. When he was over the age of 30, he became the rabbi of
ostrowiecz (Poland). There he had many pupils, but he left for
Germany where he wandered from post to post because of differences with
his communities. Through the influence of his wife's uncle, Simeon
Jolles, the leader of the community, he obtained a position in Cracow.
There also he made enemies and
after Jolles' death he left Cracow. Finally he secured a position at
Neuwied where he remained until his death. He published Heshiv R.
Eliezer ve-Si'aḥ la-Sadeh (Neuwied, 1749) in two volumes: (1)
responsa with notes by his son Israel; and (2) (subtitled Dammesek
Eliezer) novellae on Yoreh De'ah and Ḥoshen
Mishpat. He carried on correspondence with noted authorities of
the time. Another member of his family was R. Israel b. Gedaliah
Lipschutz , the author of Tiferet Yisrael.
