The booklet ” Shevet Achim” on the laws of Ketubot in the Shulchan Aruch, was written together with his brother Rabbi Shmelke of Nikolsburg, therefore Rabbi Pinchas writes at the beginning of the booklet ” ...I am bound with strong and powerful ties of great love, my soul is bound with the soul of my brother the great Rabbi Shmelke Levi, to discuss halacha together with tremendous love like the love of David and Jonathan, and to learn the Talmud and Poskim, to delve after the roots of the truth of the Torah and its foundations...and I learned with extreme diligence for several years...and then the laws of Ketubot in slight depth, and when we came up with the new approach, I wrote it down in order to remember” . Together with his brother the Rebbe Rabbi Shmelke, he travelled to learn Torah from the great Maggid of Mezeritch - until they became Rabbis of Nikolsburg and Frankfurt respectively, where he headed the yeshiva, the Chatam Sofer was one of his primary students.
