Scion of a noted rabbinic dynasty, R. Tzvi Hirsch Auerbach (1690-1778) was the Dayan of Brody, Galicia. Due to persecution he was forced to flee in 1710, finding sanctuary in Vienna. In 1763 R. Tzvi Hirsch was called to serve the venerated community of Worms where he remained until his death. See Y.
