The latter's son, Ẓebi Hirsch Landau, was a delegate to the Council of Four Lands, and was also one of the signatories to the privilege granted by that body to the printer of Zolkiev in 1699 (Buber, "Ḳiryah Nisgabah," p.
Landau's chief merit as a typographer is due to the fact that he always personally supervised the correction of the works published in his establishment, so that they issued from the press with scarcely a fault.
Landau was the champion of Orthodox Rabbinism, and when, at the end of the eighteenth century, the Austrian emperor planned the establishment of Jewish theological seminaries, Landau was one of the rabbis that objected thereto.

 Rabbi Ezkiel Landau - Later Achronim
Rabbi Ezekiel Landau, also known as the "Noda Biyehudah," after the title of his major work, was born in Opatow, a small town in Poland.
But Rabbi Ezekiel's heart was in Brody, the gathering place of the scholars, and so he persuaded his father-in-law to move his entire house-hold to that city.

  From Peshat to Derash and back again: Talmud for the modern
In the Gemara, Rav Pappa objects that Ezekiel may mean that the priests should always cut their locks, and not just for thirty days.
According to Ezekiel 44:21, "No priest shall drink wine when he enters the inner court." The Gemara reasons that, since this verse links the prohibition to the time of entering the Temple, we may assume the previous verse links its prohibition against hair cutting to the same time.
By way of "Background" to the phrase "Ezekiel came and supported it with a verse," Steinsaltz notes that "some commentators have understood this expression to mean that the Prophet Ezekiel found some proof in the Torah to serve as the basis for an oral tradition.

Yet it was in the 18th century when Rabbi Ezekiel Landau was asked to rule on a case in which a patient died from unsuccessful surgery to correct a bladder condition.
Landau's response was that autopsy constitutes desecration of the dead but it would be permissible to save the life of a person who is immediately present with the same problem.
In the case that Landau was ruling on there was nobody who would immediately benefit from the results of the autopsy.

Ezekiel says that Nebuchadrezzar and his host had no reward for their heavy service against Tyre, and the presumption is that the city capitulated on favourable terms; for Ithobal's reign ends with the close of the siege, and the royal family is subsequently found in Babylon.
The disasters and humiliations which befell Tyre during this and the foregoing period might suggest that its prosperity had been seriously damaged.
From the lands of the Euphrates and Tigris regular trade-routes led to the Mediterranean with trading-stations on the way, several of which are mentioned by Ezekiel (xxvii.

 The National Council of Hindu Temples (UK)
Ezekiel Landau, a Rabbi in Prague in the 18th century, ruled that a cohen (priest) who married a Hindu woman according to Hindu rites--including entering a Hindu temple and bowing down there--then later divorced her and did penance, may still recite the priestly blessings.
In his ruling, Landau relied on the minority opinion among medieval Jewish legal authorities that a priest who has practiced idolatry can still recite the priestly blessings.
However, Landau pointed out that, even according to the majority opinion that a cohen who practiced idolatry cannot recite the priestly blessings, this man should be able to perform these duties, because he did not genuinely believe in the Hindu gods; he just went through the motions to please his wife.

 Sins in the Balance
Upon being asked by his correspondent to recommend a regimen for a serious transgression (the individual in question had married the daughter of a woman with whom he had previously conducted a lengthy adulterous affair), the rabbi replied that he was unaccustomed to dealing with such matters since they have no basis in Talmudic law.
In the end, Rabbi Landau acquiesced to prescribe a mild penance of fasting and charitable giving, but made it clear that such practices must always be seen as means towards contrition, and have no atoning power in themselves.
Rabbi Landau, like other several other distinguished teachers (including Rabbi Shneur Zalman of Liady, Rabbi Moses Sofer, and more), was concerned that ascetic practices would come to be perceived as a quick substitute for the sincere and complete moral transformation that constitutes authentic Jewish repentance.

With this explanation, Rabbi Landau concludes that the Ashkenazi practice is proper.
Rabbi Landau, nevertheless, validates the Sephardi custom, though he is highly critical of European Jews who depart from the Ashkenazi custom and adopt the Sephardi rite; namely, Ashkenazi Jews who were drawn to Hassidism.
Using the wrong formula is not considered a serious error; mistakenly referring to God's everlasting love in the morning or His abundant love in the evening does not invalidate the prayer (Mishna Berura 6:2 and Rabbi Avigdor Neventzal's additional notes).

Landau used historical precedent by mentioning the Jews of Babylonia, who although under exile, took the Chaldean language and became masters of it, while still maintaining a clearly Jewish identity.
To Landau, the prophet Daniel, among others, was the main role model to follow.
Landau did not refer to Wessely by name, but does mention that “there are many Jews who reject the words of the sages and set out intentionally to keep their children from the oral Torah” (JMW 78).
