Rabbeinu Wolf (Binyamin Chaim) Aub was born in the city of Aub in the year 1700. Rav Aub’s family had moved from Fuerth a few years before he was born. He moved back to Fuerth and became a Dayan. Jewish life in Fuerth at the time was at a climax, with dozens of outstanding Torah scholars dwelling within the city. Rav Aub was recognized as a leading halachic authority and he corresponded with many of the eminent Torah leaders of the time in matters of halacha. We do not have any compositions from Rav Aub, however, he is widely quoted by students who learned in Fuerth at that time. Rav Aub is quoted numerous times by his close friend and contemporary Rav Yaakov Berlin in his work Baer Yaakov. He was the great uncle of Rav Hirsch Aub (1796-1876), the Chief Rabbi of Munich for almost fifty years and an important figure in the orthodox fight against the Reform Movement. Rav Aub passed away in 1757.
