- OPPENHEIM, BEER BEN ISAAC (1760–1849), German rabbi and
scholar. In his early youth Oppenheim studied at the yeshivah of Fuerth
and then proceeded to Berlin where he apparently made contact with the
followers of the Haskalah movement. His contributions to bikkurei
ha-Ittim are written in an attractive Hebrew style, and he carried on
correspondence with Moses Israel landau ,
isaac samuel reggio , and solomon judah loeb rapoport . He
later settled in Pressburg (Bratislava), living there in favorable
financial circumstances and engaging mainly in talmudic studies. In 1829
he published Mei-Be'er, a collection of his responsa to
moses muenz , samuel b. ezekiel landau , Solomon Margolis,
Baruch b. Josiah jeiteles , his brother Ḥayyim, and other
contemporary scholars. It appeared with an appendum entitled Palgei
Mayim, containing a number of his talmudic novellae.
