Rabbeinu Aaron Tumim was born in Prague in 1630 to the illustrious Tumim family. Rav Tumim was recognized as a great Torah scholar and darshan. He was appointed as the Darshan of Prague in 1661. In 1672, he traveled westward and was appointed as the Rav of Worms, which was then in its golden age. In 1685, it became clear that war between the French and Germans was imminent.  Rav Aaron Tumim fled the city, which was soon decimated by the French Army. For the next few years Rav Tumim wandered across Germany with his family, leaving a trail of incredible drashos in his wake. In 1690, he accepted a rabbinical position in Krakow. However, three months later, Rav Aaron died as he was being taken prisoner by a local nobleman in an attempt to extort money from the Kehilla.  Rav Aaron wrote numerous works, however, only his commentary on Chumash and Haggada have been printed.
