His biography
Rabbi Binyamin Shlomo Zalman Ha'Levi Schpitzer (1826-1896) was born in Óbuda to his father Rabbi Ya'akov David Ha'Levi Schpitz. His father taught him Torah and later sent him to Jorgen, to the yeshiva of Rabbi Moshe Schick Av Beit Din of Hust, where he became known as his leading disciple. He also studied with Rabbi Meir Esh Av Beit Din of Ungvar an dthe son-in-law of the Chatam Sofer. His rabbi, the "Ketav Sofer", married him off to his sister, Mrs. Gittel, the Chatam Sofer's daughter, who was the widow of Rabbi Eliyahu Kornitzer. He then lived in Pressburg.
In 1852, he became the rabbi of the synagogue of the Haredi community of ex-citizens of Hungary, Bohemia and Moravia in Vienna. During this time, there was an intense halachic controversy regarding his halachic ruling that a certain type of coffee was kosher for Passover. In 1858, he was appointed a Dayan and Rosh Av beit Din of the general community, beside the Av Beit Din Rabbi Eliezer Ha'Levi Horowitz.
In 1872, he left the general community after publishing a booklet forcing the reverent to leave the General Community of Vienna due to the decision of the leaders of the community, who had surrendered to the Reform Jews and changed the version of the prayer, omitting the reference to Zion and Jerusalem. The booklet was signed by 389 rabbis.
In 1874 he was asked to serve as Av Beit Din of Matersdorf; however, he refused since his rabbi, the Mahram Schick, told him that his designation was to preserve the authentic Jewish community of Vienna. Therefore, he remained in Vienna and served as the rabbi of the Haredi community of "Adat Yisrael" until he died.
He authored the book "Tikkun Shlomo Simlat Binyamin" – Derashot and Talmudic novellae. His responsa was printed in the "Ketav Sofer" Responsa and the responsa of the Chatam Sofer.
His sons-in-law: Rabbi Yosef Dov Ber Ha'Cohen Rosh Av Beit Din of Vienna, Rabbi Shimon Sofer Av Beit Din of Erlau, Rabbi Ze'ev Wolf Gross who was a rabbi in Vienna and Rabbi Eliezer Hamburg, a Dayan in Frankfurt.
