Hirsch Bär Fassel (1802-1883; also known as Hirsch Baer Fassel or Hirsch B. Fassel) was an influential rabbi and philosopher. He was born in Boskowitz. His book Mozene Zedek, a manual for rabbis on Talmudic decisions on practical matters, urged other rabbis to be lenient in making rulings against individuals in non-criminal matters. Fassel believed that reforms in Judaism were legitimate, so long as they were brought about by rabbis.
