Rabbi Simcha Bunim Ginz-Eiger Rabbi of Mattersburg (1770-1829), younger brother and Torah companion of Rabbi Akiva Eiger. An outstanding leading Torah genius of his times; had much responsa correspondence with the Chatam Sofer. Dozens of responses written to Rabbi Simcha Bunim in the responsa of his brother Rabbi Akiva Eiger and the Chatam Sofer's responsa. Rabbi Akiva Eiger quotes him many times in his books and writes about him with great esteem "…If my brother the Torah genius agrees with this…"; "I was very happy to see that you approved of my words" (at the end of the book Drush V'Chiddush); "…And if this does not seem acceptable to my brother, my words shall be void" (ibid); "…All these are hidden from my blind eyes, perhaps you have ways to understand me and explain our Rabbis' words properly" (ibid); "My lowly opinion is annulled before your great opinion" (Ginzei Rabbi Akiva Eiger, 13) "Inform me your lofty thoughts about this…Your friend, who is attached to you with love". (A compilation with a collection of about 40 letters of correspondence between the great brothers named Alei Esev was published in London in 1995). Among his famous sons and sons-in-law are his son Rabbi Moshe Ginz-Schlesinger who wrote this manuscript; his son Rabbi Yosef Ginz-Schlesinger (son-in-law of his uncle's wife); his son Rabbi Shmuel and his renowned son-in-law Rabbi Shlomo Zalman Ulman Av Beit Din of Makova author of Yeri'ot Shlomo.

In 1830, was accepted into the Kloiz in Hamburg in the Beit Midrash of Rabbi Leib ben Shaul. (in Igrot Sofrim, Letters of Rabbi Akiva Eiger, 22, Rabbi Akiva Eiger writes to his brother Rabbi Bunim: "…to give good tidings that his son my friend the sharp minded Rabbi Moshe became a resident of the Beit Midrash in Hamburg…"). He assisted and prepared for print much of the Torah of his uncle Rabbi Akiva Eiger as brought in the introduction of Drush V'Chidush. Mentioned dozens of times in the writings of Rabbi Akiva Eiger and the Chatam Sofer. See: Chachmei Altona, Hamburg and Wandsbek (Hamburg, 1908, p. 119).
