Jehiel of Pisa died February 10, 1492 was a philanthropist and scholar of Pisa . The wealth he had acquired in the banking business he spent liberally for charitable purposes. Himself a scholar, he extended his protection to Jewish learning. Johanan Alemanno , the teacher of Pico di Mirandola , seems to have lived for years in Jehiel s house. Jehiel was on intimate terms with Don Isaac Abravanel , with whom he carried on a correspondence. In 1472 Abravanel induced Lopo de Almeida and the physician Joao Sezira, Alfonso s ambassadors to the pope, to pay Jehiel a visit. They carried costly presents to Jehiel s wife from Abravanel, and valuable manuscripts, among which were copies of Abravanel s own works, to Jehiel. The end of Jehiel s life was embittered by the apostasy of one of his daughters. On that occasion Abravanel wrote him a letter of consolation, in which he reminded him of the saying of the Rabbis M. . 20b that the result of education is not dependent upon the merits of the parents thorns grow in every field among the ears of corn. Gedaliah ibn Ya ya relates that most of Jehiel s fortune was spent in aiding the Spanish expulsion refugees of Spain . Jehiel s death was bewailed by the poets and writers of his time, such as Eliezer Ezra of Volterra, Solomon of Camerino , and the astronomer Abba Mari alfon .

Jehielben Solomon Heilprin ca. 1660 ca. 1746 was a Jews of Lithuania Lithuanian rabbi, kabalist , and chronicler. He was a descendant of Solomon Luria , and traced his genealogy back through Rashi to the tannaim tanna Johanan ha Sandlar . He was rabbi of Glusk , government of Minsk , until 1711, when he was called to the rabbinate of Minsk, where he officiated also as head of the yeshibah until his death. Heilprin was one of the most eminent Talmudists of his time. He was opposed to casuistry , and on this account succeeded in grouping around him a great number of liberal minded pupils. For a long time he had to sustain a hard struggle with Aryeh L b benAsher , who, while still a young man, had founded a yeshibah at Minsk, which at first was very flourishing. Aryeh L b attacked Heilprin s method of teaching, and the antagonism between them spread to their pupils. Later, Aryeh L b, being obliged to assist his father in the district rabbinate, neglected his yeshibah, which was ultimately closed, and Heilprin was no longer molested. Heilprin devoted a part of his time to the study of Kabala , on which subject he wrote a work. He was opposed to giving approbations to new books, deviating, as he himself says, only twice from his general principle in this regard. The two works so favored were the Ir omah of Abraham Judah Elijah and the Magen ha Elef of Aryeh L b of Plock . Seder ha Dorot Heilprin is especially known through his Seder ha Dorot. This work consists of three independent volumes or parts The first of these, entitled Yemot Olam, is a history from the Creation down to his own time. The author always endeavors to give, by means of calculation, the dates of Biblical personages.

Judah benAsher June 30, 1270 July 4, 1349 was a Jews of Germany German Talmudist and later rabbi of Toledo, Spain , brother of Jacob benAsher Ba al ha urim .

He does not appear to have stayed long in Toledo, for in 1286 he married the daughter of his oldest brother, Jehiel, who is not known to have left Germany before 1305. After her death he married the daughter of Solomon, another brother of his. In 1305 his father, AsherbenJehiel , who was then obliged to leave Germany, sent Judah before him into Spain in order to arrange for his settling there. Judah says in his testament that when he first came to Toledo he could not profit much by the Jews of Spain Spanish Talmudists, as he understood neither their writing nor their language and as he had sore eyes he could not even occupy himself with writing.

Rabbeinu Asherben Meshullam was a Jew ish theologian and Talmudic scholar who lived at Lunel in the second half of the twelfth century CE. A renowned Talmudist, he was a son of the well known Rabbeinu Meshullam ben Jacob Rabbeinu Meshullam hagodol , and a pupil of Rabbeinu Joseph ibn Plat and the Abraham ben David Ravad Rabbeinu Avrohom ben Dovid of Posqui res , whose ascctic tendencies he shared. Benjamin of Tudela , in the first part of his Travels, says that Rabbeinu Asher lived in complete seclusion, wholly devoted to the study of the Torah , and that he vegetarianism never tasted meat . At the same time Rabbeinu Asher was not hostile to philosophy . Rabbeinu Judah Ben Saul Ibn Tibbon Yehudah Ibn Tibbon in a letter to Rabbeinu Asher, praised his fondness for science, and in his testament exhorted his son to cultivate Rabbeinu Asher s friendship. Rabbeinu Asher s alleged leaning toward the Kabbalah , mentioned by Heinrich Graetz , is countered that the fact that he was responsible for the translation of Solomon ibn Gabirol s Tikkun Midoth ha Nefesh is no proof for or against his kabbalistic leanings the kabbalists had a strong leaning toward ibn Gabirol s mysticism and, after all, the above mentioned work of Gabirol is moral, rather than strictly philosophical, in its tendencies. Rabbeinu Asher was the author of several Talmudic works, of which the following are cited by title Hilchoth Yom Tov , Rules for the Jewish holidays Holidays Sefer ha Matanoth, The Book of Gifts a work referring perhaps to the tithe s payable to the kohanim . Neither of these writings seems to have been preserved.

orphan date May 2010 Aaron BenAsher of Karlin June 6, 1802 June 23, 1872 , known as Rabbi Aaron II of Karlin , was one of the most famous rabbis of the asidim in northwestern Russia . He had an immense number of followers, and many thousands of them used to visit him annually, about the time of the Jewish New Year , as is the custom among that sect. Notwithstanding his severity of manner and the not infrequent rudeness of his behavior, he was highly esteemed by his adherents. He reigned in Karlin Pinsk Karlin , near Pinsk , in the government of Minsk currently in Belarus , in succession to his father and his grandfather, Aaron ben Jacob . A few years before his death he had a quarrel with a rich family of Karlin and removed from there to Stolin , a town several miles distant. Considering the amount of business that the yearly influx of strangers brought to the city where he resided, his removal was regarded as a misfortune for Karlin. He died, aged seventy years and seventeen days, in Malinovka , near Dubno , in Volhynia , while on a journey to the wedding of his granddaughter, and was succeeded by his son, Asher of Stolin , whose chief claim to distinction is that he spent most of his time at the mi wah bath . Asher died in Drohobycz about one year after the death of his father, and was succeeded by his five year old son, the so called Yenu a Baby of Stolin, against whoserabbinate in the asidic sense Schatzkes or, according to others, Judah Lob Levin called Yehallel of Kiev under the pseudonym ad min abraya One of the students , wrote a well known satire in a Sha ar vi ... benAsher of Karlin Rabbi Aaron II. of Karlin url http www.jewishencyclopedia.com view.jsp?letter A&artid 15 author Paul Wendland Persondata Metadata see Wikipedia Persondata .

Distinguish Bahya ibn Paquda Eras of the Halakha Bahye benAsher ibn Halawa also known as Rabbeinu Behaye , mid thirteenth century 1340 was a rabbi and scholar of Judaism . He was a commentator on the Tanakh Hebrew Bible and is noted for introducing Kabbalah Jewish mysticism into study of the Torah Citation needed date March 2011 . He is considered by Jewish scholars to be one of the most distinguished of the Biblical exegetes of Spain . He was a pupil of Rabbi Shlomo ben Aderet the Rashba . Unlike the latter, Bahya did not devote his attention to Talmudic science, but to Biblical exegesis, taking for his model Rabbi Moses ben Nahman who is known as Nahmanides , the teacher of Rabbi Solomon ben Adret, who was the first to make use of the Kabbalah as a means of interpreting the Torah. He discharged with zeal the duties of a darshan preacher in his native city of Zaragoza, sharing this position with several others, and on this account received a small salary, which was scarcely enough to support him and his family but neither his struggle for daily bread nor the reverses that he suffered to which he referred in the introduction to his commentary on the Torah diminished his interest in Torah study in general, and in Biblical exegesis in particular.

orphan date May 2010 Eras of the Halakha Abraham David benAsher Anshel Wahrman 1770 at Nadvirna Nadworna &ndash 1840 at Buchach Buczacz Hebrew , was a Galicia Central Europe Galicia n Talmud ist. He began studying Talmud as a boy. When he was ten years old, Zvi Hirsch , the author of Neta Sha ashu im, chose him as a son in law. At the age of twenty, he became the rabbi at Jazlowce . In the Jewish Encyclopedia , Louis Ginzberg and A. Pelginsky dramatically recount his encounter with Hasidism The chief event of his life was the struggle awakened in him by the opposition between the Talmud and the Kabbalah Cabala . Unacquainted with the tendencies and modes of life of the Hasidim, Buczacz did not believe in the miracles of their rabbis and his wife and friends had great difficulty in persuading him to take his sick son to a Hasidic rabbi, Levi Yitzchok of Berditchev Levi Isaac of Berdychev . The latter, however, influenced him to take up the study of the Cabala but in trying to reconcile these new views&mdash so utterly antagonistic to those of the extreme Talmudists, which he himself had hitherto held&mdash he nearly became insane. The Hasidic rabbi Levi Isaac of Berdychev helped him through this struggle and won him over, to the great joy of the Hasidim, who feared his wide Talmudic learning. Buczacz adopted the Hasidic mode of living but in his decision of Halakhah halakic questions was guided, not by kabalistic, but by purely Talmudic, principles. In 1813 he succeeded his late father in law as rabbi of Buczacz, and remained in office until his death. Buczacz is the author of the following works Da at Kedoshim, to the Shulchan Aruch , Yoreh De ah , Lemberg, 1870 2d ed., ib. 1879 Dibre Abot, commentary on Pirkei Avoth , ib. 1879 Eshel Avraham, annotations ... see Wikipedia Persondata .
