Aaron Chorin (1766-1844), erstwhile student of R. Ezekiel Landau of Prague, was instrumental in introducing the Reform movement to Hungary. In Orthodox circles, he was dubbed “Acher” (the Other). This eulogy, on the other hand, compares him to Aaron the Priest, “a lover of peace and a pursuer of peace.”
