English-language Wikipedia gives his birth year as 1760 and death as 1828 and describes his career "at Vishnitsa, Austrian Galicia, and at Leipnik, Moravia"; the loebtree pedigree records his birth as "1750 or 1760" and death at Leipnik in 1828 [?] (the vault vitals give a specific death of 18 June 1828 at [[Lipník nad Bečvou]], drawn from the Czech National Archive death register cited in the MyHeritage biography, which has not yet been read directly — see Open questions). He was a son of [[Yehoshua Yehezkiel Feivel Frankel-Teomim (b.1735)]] and [[Unknown Segal (b.1732)]] per the vault, and descended from a notable rabbinic line: Wikipedia describes him as a grandson of Aryeh Löb ben Joshua Feiwel Te'omim and of Rabbi Jonah Teomim Frankel, author of *Kikayon Deyona*. The MyHeritage biography preserved in the MyHeritage biography on this profile, drawn from Neil Rosenstein's *The Unbroken Chain* (1990, vol. 1, pp. 253–254), sets out his education and career in detail: he studied as one of the outstanding pupils of David Tebele, head of the rabbinical court of Lissa, and later under R. Judah Harif Lieber; he was elected head of the rabbinical court in 1779, succeeding R. Naftali Hirsch Margolioth, and remained there over twenty years until 1802, when he became head of the court at Leipnik. There he wrote his best-known work, *Baruch Ta'am*, published posthumously by his son (novellae and pilpulim, Lvov, 1841). His other writings listed there include *Baruch SheAmar*, *Marganita DeRav*, *Imrei Baruch*, and responsa collections. These career and bibliographic details rest on that single secondary source and are reproduced as such. Wikipedia and the loebtree pedigree diverge on some family particulars, so these are given as reported rather than settled. Both the MyHeritage biography and the loebtree page record a first marriage to Jochebed (Jochabed) Rebecca, though they differ on her father — the the record text (following Rosenstein) names R. Judah Parnas of Vizhnitsa, while loebtree names Baruch Parnas [?]; the the record text further records a second marriage to a daughter of R. Zvi Joshua HaLevi. Wikipedia adds that a daughter of his married Rabbi Chaim Halberstam, the Sanzer Rebbe, a widely reported connection but one not independently confirmed here. The loebtree pedigree lists numerous children, among them Leibish Teomim-Frankel, Joshua Heschel Frankel Theomim (d. 1843), Joseph Teomim (d. 1836), and several daughters [?]. He died in 1828; the vault and the cited Lipník nad Bečvou death register place his death at [[Lipník nad Bečvou]]. ## Research *(your reasoning — preserved across every rebuild)* ## Evidence ## Open questions - **Needs browser pass:** Lipník nad Bečvou death register, Czech National Archive, Židovské matriky HBMa 1045, image 47, record 86 — [vademecum.nacr.cz permalink](https://vademecum.nacr.cz/vademecum/permalink?xid=6657f571-d0c7-4c21-8d94-6524bd43ec63&scan=830f423fa3fce63ed7002dcba7f0029e).
