Biography

Aaron was born in Brandenburg, Germany around 1705. His father Isaac ben Eliezer was a rabbi in Frankfurt an der Oder, and a paternal grandson of Aaron ben Samuel of Frankfurt (Oder). Aaron's brother Joel ben Isaac was also a rabbi and the father of Kalonymos of Heuberg. In his later life, Aaron moved to Rechnitz, Austria and established himself as a learned scholar. In Sulzbach, he authored a midrashic commentary on the Bible, which was published in 1786 under the title "Bet Aharon" (lit. House of Aaron). This title may have been an homage to his great grandfather's work of the same name. In was in Sulzbach that Aaron died in 1790. He had two children, David Rechnitz (b. 1730) who a rabbi in Austria, and Chana Rechnitz, who was the maternal grandmother of Abraham Naftali Hertz Scheuer. [1][2]
