Rabbi Binyamin Eisenstadt, author of Masa’at Binyamin on the Talmud (1925) was born in Brastowice, near Grodno, in 1846. His father, Rabbi Avraham Zvi, was av”d in Utena and author of Pitchei Teshuvah on the Shulchan Aruch. After his father’s death in 1865, Rabbi Binyamin took over his position as av”d in Utena, where he served for 52 years. The title page of his book refers to him as “Rav HaGaon HaMefursam Mofes Hador V’Hadaro.” Rabbi Chaim Ozer Grodzinski and Rabbi Eliezer Don Yechya, av”d of Ludza, wrote approbations for his work with much admiration for the author. Refer to his biography in his son’s preface to his Masa’at Binyamin.
