The museum of Michelstadt, a medium-sized town in the Odenwald, has a small, newly renovated museum. One section is dedicated to a rabbi, talmudist and kabbalist, known as Sekl Loeb Wormser or Rabbi Jizchok Arje who lived in Michelstadt, Frankfurt and Mannheim from the mid eighteenth century until the early nineteenth.

He took his family name from the fact that his ancestors came from the town of Worms, about 60 km to the west on the Rhine.
