Born in Frankfurt to a simple family. From his youth, he was known as a great iluy and wrote Torah chiddushim. At age nine, he began learning with Rabbi Nosson Adler, who followed kabbalistic customs, and later with Rabbi Pinchas Horowitz.

The Rebbe wrote that his being a student of Rabbi Nosson Adler and Rabbi Pinchas Horowitz, who was a student of the Maggid of Mezritch, led to Rabbi Moshe including sayings from Chassidic leaders, including the Alter Rebbe, in his sefer "Chasam Sofer."
