Moses Meshullam ben Samson Egra ( Hebrew: משה משולם בן שמשון איגרא; c. 1752 – September 25, 1801) [1] was Galician rabbi.
Egra was born in Buczacz, Galicia, [1] but was living in Brody by the age of nine. At about that age he delivered a casuistic homily in the large synagogue of Brody, and had a discussion with its rabbi, Isaac Hurwitz, whose son-in-law he became. He was a contemporary of Sender Margoliouth , with whom he discussed ritual laws, and the master of Jacob Lissa. Egra was at first rabbi of Tusmenetz, later becoming rabbi of Presburg. He wrote She'elot u-Teshubot RaMA (Czernowitz, 1862), and an unpublished work on Maimonides. [2]
