"Baruch was an outstanding member of this scholarly family. He was credited with a wide knowledge of talmudic lore, was a member of the bet din of the community of Worms, and was often chosen to act as judge. He also bore the honorific title Ha-Rav; several halakhic decisions were recorded in his name; and his epitaph, preserved to this day, was written in highly laudatory terms."
