List of descendants of Meir Katzenellenbogen

From EverybodyWiki Bios & Wiki


Meir Katzenellenbogen, a sixteenth-century rabbi from Padua, Italy, is known throughout the rabbinical world as the Maharam of Padua and claimed to be a direct descendant from the House of David. [Maharam (Hebrew: מהר"ם) is an acronym of the words ...מורנו הרב רבי מ (Morenu Ha-Rav M..., Our teacher the Rabbi M...). Since many Rabbis were referred to as Maharam, an addition, usually a name of a place or a surname is generally used to differentiate between them.]

In The Unbroken Chain, author Neil Rosenstein "weaves a geneological web that begins with the Rabbi of Padua and flows through the bloodlines of such varied personalities as Martin Buber and Helena Rubinstein, themselves cousins, Karl Marx, Moses Mendelssohn and his grandson Felix Mendelssohn, Pulitzer Prize winner David Halberstam, Rabbi Reines, the founder of the Mizrachi Movement, four chief rabbis of the British Empire, and many others.[1]

The study was reviewed in the media, including The New York Times and New York magazine, and genealogists.[2][3][4]
