Avrohom Abele’ Gombiner (The Magen Avrahom) and R. Dovid Oppenheim. After serving in various rabbinical posts, in 1700, at the age of 30, he was appointed as Rav and Rosh Yeshiva of Worms. He then went on to serve as Rav in Prosnitz, where he raised and taught the child prodigy R. Yonason Eibeschitz who had been orphaned of both his parents. In 1717, R. Meir was appointed as Rav of Eisenstadt and its environs, known as the “Sheva Kehillos” where he established a great Yeshiva which drew Talmidim from all over Europe. Recognized as one of the greatest Achronim, his seforim remain classics to this day. In addition, he had numerous distinguished descendants and many of the great rabbinical leaders of the following generations were his offspring.
