Rabbi Yekutiel Jacob Neubauer was born in Leipzig in 1895 and devoted himself, among other things, to the study of Jewish law. He also wrote the book of Maimonides on the words of the Sages - his method and the method of his commentators. Neubauer served as a teacher of the history of the Jewish people and Talmud at the Würzburg Teachers Seminary and at the Rabbinical Seminary in Amsterdam, until he died in the Nazi concentration camp Bergen-Belsen.
