Can anyone confirm existance of a photo of the maram ash? there definaely was photos (art least one) of him widely available before WWII. gevaldik! 20:33, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

The Maharam Ash passed away in January of 1852; so no photographs of him exist. But there is a painting of him published in numerous books. Itzse 20:10, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Something wrong

There is something wrong with this page. This can't be the Maharam Ash who was a student of the Chasam Sofer, the years are too early. --רח"ק | Talk 06:20, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

Indeed :-) there are 2 Rabbis called Maharam Ash and both are also Meir Ash - R' Ash author of "Meore Esh" (here) and R' Ash author of "Imre Esh". Will create a disambig at Meir Ash and a stub at Meir Eisenstaedter (yes, they have an almost identical secular surname too!)... Fintor 08:30, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

Done :-) Fintor 05:07, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

The first Rabbi Meir Ash (1670-1744) is never called nowadays "Maharam Ash"; he is called by historians and by his descendants (like Reb Iser Zalman Meltzer) the Ponim Me'iros after his Sefer Shu"t Ponim Me'iros. He was born in Lithuania and became Rabbi of Eisenshtadt; a very Choshiva Rabonis in those days.

The second Rabbi Meir Ash (1780-1852), was one of the early talmidim of the Chasam Sofer, and his greatest talmid in Mattersdorf. The Chasam Sofer considered him a Talmid Chover (a talmid like a friend). He was born in Shusberg and grew up in Eisenshtadt; hence the name Eisenshtadt. He is known nowadays to historians and to his descendants as the Maharam Ash.

Therefore I think that "Ponim Me'irot" should be redirected here and "Maharam Ash" should be redirected to the second Rabbi Meir Eisenstadt; and "Meir Eisenshtadt" or "Meir Eisenshtadter" as well as "Meir Ash" and "Meir Osh should go to the disambiguation page. Itzse 20:10, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
