Rabbi Binyamin Niederhopheim (1810-1885) was an expert mohel who performed more than 7,000 circumcisions! He was a merchant and talmid chacham, an important member of the Frankfurt-am-Mein community during the time of Rashar Hirsch. He continued the “minyan” of Rabbeinu Natan Adler (rabbi of the Chatam Sofer), which he founded to pray according to the Sefardi nusach, which had passed first to his student Rabbi Leib Amrich and then to Rabbi Binyamin, who was the son-in-law of the son-in-law of Rabbi Leib (Rabbi Be’er Danan). It existed until the Shoah and was called the “Niederhopheimische Shul.” He had a large private library with rare manuscripts.
