Rabbi Mordechai Michael Yaffe av”d Śmigiel (1803-1868) and Rabbi in the Kloiz of Hamburg at the end of his life, was a prominent disciple of Rabbi Akiva Eiger who taught Torah in Ashkenaz. He was born in Krotoschin, a descendant of Torah leaders and eighth generation descendant of the Maharal of Prague. He studied in the yeshivah of Rabbi Akiva Eigar for eight years and was one of his most prominent disciples. In 1840, he was asked to join the famed kloiz in Hamburg where he sat and learned and taught Torah for more than fifteen years, until his death in 1868.
