Rabbi Ze’ev Wolf ben Rabbi Yosef Wolf of the Krodenburg community (in north-western Germany) lived in Amsterdam during the years 1843-1850 at Rabbi Zvi Hirsch Lehren’s house, where he taught the members of the family Torah, Yirah and Mussar. After his marriage, he left his position in the Lehren house and opened a yeshiva in Sermbeck, Germany (which was close to the Dutch border). The yeshiva closed after five years, when the German communities stopped sending their sons to yeshivas. His son, Rabbi Pinchas Wolf, served as a Rav abroad and in Petach Tikvah, for almost seventy years.
