Rabbi Yedidya Tiah Weil: (1722-1806) was born in Prague to his holy father, the great scholar Rabbi Nathanel Weil, author of "Korban Nathanel". He studied in the yeshivot of the Gaon Rabbi Yonatan Eybeschutz and the "Noda BiYehuda". During this time, he assisted his father in writing his work on the Ros''h.

In 1754, he was appointed as the rabbi of Karlsruhe in Germany, after his father's passing, who served as the rabbi of Bautitz. Initially, Rabbi Weil refused the offer, but later accepted and settled in his father's position in Karlsruhe until his passing in 1806.

Rabbi Weil was known for his tremendous scholarship and is mentioned in the responsa of the great scholars of his generation, including the Chatam Sofer and the "Noda BiYehuda". He was also wealthy and diversified. In his lifetime, he published his commentary on the Haggadah of Passover and wished to leave the work unpublished. Only in the last generation, did his Torah teachings come to light, including novella on the Talmud, the Rambam, and Responsa. Additional novella in all areas of Torah knowledge remain in his handwritten manuscripts.
