Samuel ben Nathan Ha-Levi Loeb (Kolin) (1720–1806) was a German rabbi and posek. His most famoous work, Mahazit ha-Shekel is a commentary on the Shulhan Arukh, Orah Hayyim, and Yoreh De'ah. "The section on Ora? ?ayyim (Vienna, 1807–08) is in fact a supercommentary on the Magen Avraham of A.A. *Gombiner. Its main purpose is to give the actual wording of the sources to which Gombiner alludes, or which he abbreviates, and to simplify his rather difficult language. Only portions of the commentary to the Yoreh De'ah, part 1, and on the laws of niddah were published (1858–60). The Ma?a?it ha-Shekel achieved wide popularity among scholars who depended on it in arriving at halakhic decisions" (EJ, 2007). SUBJECTS: Commentaries. OCLC lists 15 copies worldwide (OCLC:19202619).
