Yitzchak Klober
1480 CE–1538 CE · Acharonim · Worms (Rhineland)
Rabbi Yitzchak Klauber (also written Klober or Kloyber) was an early sixteenth-century Ashkenazi Torah scholar remembered chiefly as the maternal grandfather and teacher of Rabbi Shlomo Luria, the Maharshal. Genealogical and biographical accounts trace his family to Worms in the Rhineland, where it carried the byname "of Worms," before he settled in Posen (Poznań), then part of Poland. The young Shlomo Luria, orphaned early, was sent to study under his guidance there. His time in Posen is traditionally said to have ended around 1535, when a fire destroyed his property and prompted his grandson to leave the city. Reported dates for his life vary, placing his birth around 1480 and his death in the 1530s. No independently documented works survive under his name.

About Worms (Rhineland)
Worms, on the left bank of the Rhine in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany, grew from the Celtic settlement of Borbetomagus into a Roman town and a major medieval city. Its Jewish community, established by the late tenth century with a synagogue first built in 1034, was one of the three ShUM communities of the Rhineland, whose sites UNESCO inscribed as World Heritage in 2021; Rashi studied at its yeshiva in the 1060s, and the city remained a seat of rabbinic learning for centuries. In Christian history Worms gave its name to the Concordat of 1122 and to the Diet of 1521, at which Martin Luther was declared a heretic, and William Tyndale's English New Testament was printed there by 1526.
