Rabbi Meir Aurbach was born in 1815, in Kowel, Poland. A sun of the Auerbach family of rabbis, he was appointed to Rabbi at the age of 25, in his home town.
In 1846, Aurbach was appointed to Rabbi in the city Kolo, where he served for nine years.
Later, he moved to Kalisz, where he served as a rabbi, and engaged in commerce. In his sermons, he encouraged members of his congregation to immigrate to Israel, "the beginning of redemption".
In 1858, Aurbach immigrated to Israel, and set his home in Jerusalem.
