Copy of Rabbi Mordechai Bennet rabbi of Nikolsburg
Rabbi Mordechai Bennet (1750-1829), one of the greatest later sages, a righteous man, adjudicator and kabbalist, the Av Beit Din and renowned rabbi of Nikolsburg and the entire province of Moravia from 1790, where he was rosh yeshiva. He was a student of the Noda B'Yehudah and Rabbi Shmelke of Nikolsburg. The Chatam Sofer (who was ordained by him to the rabbinate in 1794, when he became rabbi of Dreznitz (Strazince) which was under his authority in Moravia) eulogized him "... the day a righteous man is eulogized is bad and bitter, the leader of the generation, the rabbi of the entire Jewish people who led our county for forty years, and sustained the entire Jewish nation with Torah and fear of Heaven, an expert in the entire Talmud and the only son of the Divine Presence."
