and later of Karlin, where he served for 30 years, until his death.
Jacob was the author of the responsa Mishkenot Ya'akov
(Vilna, 1810), many of them with Ephraim Zalman Margulies of Brod, on
all sections of the Shulḥan Arukh; Kehillat Ya'akov (1847),
novellae on a number of tractates of the orders Zera'im and
Mo'ed. His halakhic works were highly esteemed by yeshivah
students, by whom they were much used. Jacob's brother
ISAAC, after devoting himself to business, succeeded him
in the rabbinate of Karlin. Isaac, who also achieved an outstanding
rabbinical reputation, was the author of Keren Orah (2 parts,
1852–57), on a number of tractates of the Talmud. Both brothers were
noted for their struggle against the kidnapping of children for
impressment into the Russian army.
