Rabbi Meir Posner (1729-1807, Otzar HaRabbanim 12928), was a prominent rabbi and Torah authority in his times. After his marriage, he lived in his father-in-law's home in Pozna and was therefore called Posner. After his wife's death, he moved to Lisa where he studied with his companion Rabbi Daved Tevil of Lisa. In 1763, he served as Rabbi of Mezritch whereupon he became famous all over Poland and the leading rabbis of his generation sent him questions [including Rabbi Akiva Eiger who calls him "The Truly Great Gaon…", the Chemdat Shlomo, Rabbi Avraham Danzig author of Chayei Adam, and others]. Afterward he served as Rabbi of Königsberg and later was Av Beit Din of Danzig, Schottland, Weinberg, and Langfuhr. His book Beit Meir on the Shulchan Aruch Even HaEzer is one of the basic works on these laws. He also wrote many other books.
