R. Eliezer Fleckles (1754-1826), was a descendent of the MaHaRAL of Prague and R. Heschel of Cracow. In his youth he studied for two years under R. Meir Fishelis and for ten years under the Noda B’Yehuda. He first served as Rov of Kojetein and in 1783, he was invited by the Noda B’Yehuda to serve on the Beis Din in Prague, eventually heading the Beis Din together with the Noda B’Yehuda’s son R. Shmuel. He was one of the greatest poskim of his era and his halachic responsa Teshuva M’Ahavah is one of the classic Sifrei Achronim, studied in great depth.
R. Shmuel Landau (1750-1834), was the son and student of R. Yechezkel Landau (Noda B’Yehuda) whom he succeeded as Rav in Prague. He was instrumental in publishing his father’s works and added many of his own glosses. His responsa were published in the work Shivas Tzion.
R. Leib Mellis was a student of R. Yonason Eibeshitz. Renowned as an outstanding Talmid Chochom and a great Posek he served as a Dayan in Prague.
In many European Kehillos, particularly amongst the “Ashkenazim” it was customary that the Bais din awarded outstanding members of the community the title “Chover”.
