Notes for Moises Knöpfelmacher
{geni:occupation} Rabbi
{geni:about_me} Rabbi Moses Knöpflmacher was the son of Rabbi Joachim (Chaim) Knöpflmacher (b. c.1672) of Leipnik, and the grandson of Rabbi Judel (Yudel) Knöpflmacher (b. c.1645), also of Leipnik. As a young man, Moses Knöpflmacher left Leipnik and moved south to the ancient Jewish community of Holesov. He was a rabbi in Holesov and resided in household #23 in Holesov's Jewish quarter. On 18 June 1794, Moses and his second wife, Rebeka, conveyed theirinterest in household #35 to Moses' son-in-law, Aaron Tauber (1747-1815) [husband of Schewe (Knopflmacher)]. In this document, Moses is identified in three different ways -- as "Moises Knöpflmacher", as "Moises ben Joachim", andas "Moises ben Joachim Leipniker" [meaning he was from Leipnik]. A subsequent document indicates that Aaron Tauber was the "son-in-law of Rabbi M.L." [Moses Leipniker, also known as Moses Knopfelmacher].

In the Knöpflmacher Family Stammbaum, Moses is frequently referred to as "our teacher, Rabbi Moshe Leipnik".
