Rabbi Meir Eisenstaedter (1780–1852) - or Meir Ash - known as the Maharam Ash (Hebrew for "Our Teacher, the Rabbi, Meir of Eisenstadt") was one of the greatest Talmudists of the nineteenth century. He is best known as author of "Imre Esh" (Words of Fire) - the collection of his responsa published by his son in 1864. He studied under "the Chatam Sofer", Rabbi Moses Sofer, in Mattersdorf, and was Rabbi of Ungvar; Rabbi Shlomo Ganzfried, author of the Kitzur Shulchan Aruch served as Dayan during this time. Maharam Ash also served as Rabbi in Baja, Hungary and Gyarmath.

In 1852, Meir died and his son Menachem replaced him as head of his yeshiva.[1]
