IsaacbenMoses Arama c. 1420 &ndash 1494 was a Spain Spanish rabbi and author. He was at first principal of a rabbinical academy at Zamora, Spain Zamora probably his birthplace then he received a call as rabbi and preacher from the community at Tarragona , and later from that of Fraga in Aragon . He officiated finally in Calatayud as rabbi and head of the Talmudical academy. Upon the expulsion of the Jews in 1492, Arama settled in Naples , where he died in 1494. Arama is the author of A edat Yi a Offering of Isaac , a lengthy philosophical commentary on the Pentateuch , homiletic in style. From this work he is frequently spoken of as the Ba al A edah author of the A edah . He also wrote a commentary upon the Five Scrolls , and a work called azut ashah A Burdensome Vision , upon the relation of philosophy to theology also Yad Abshalom The Hand of Absalom , a commentary on Book of Proverbs Proverbs , written in memory of his son in law, Absalom, who died shortly after his marriage. As Talmudist and Philosopher Arama was the very prototype of the Spanish Jewish scholar of the second half of the fifteenth century. First of all he was a Talmudist . The study of the Talmud was of the utmost importance to him so that he lamented deeply when his rabbinical pupils could not follow him from Zamora to Tarragona, because the latter community was unable to support them. In the next place, he was a philosopher. The study of philosophy was so universal in Spain at that period that no one could assume a public position who had not devoted himself to it. Arama had paid particular attention to Maimonides but independent philosophical thought is hardly to be found in his work. His remarks concerning the nature of the soul A edah , chap. vi. are noteworthy. After a detailed account of the various theories about the soul which had prevailed, he comes to the conclusion that the first germ ... upon their appearance, to such an extent indeed that Isaac Abravanel , a younger contemporary ... more details

Orphan date February 2009 MosesbenIsaac Judah Lima c. 1615 c. 1670 was a Lithuanian Jews Lithuanian rabbinical scholar, one of the Acharonim . Lima is not the family name, but a nickname for Yehudah Harv Goldworm 1989 p 161 . When a comparatively young man he successively occupied the rabbinates of Brest Litovsk and Slonim . His fame as a scholar soon reached Vilna , whither he was called, in 1650, to fill the office of chief rabbi. Lima was of a retiring and diffident disposition, which probably accounts for the paucity of his writings. He left a manuscript commentary on Shulchan Aruch , Eben Ha Ezer , which his son Raphael published 1670 under the title of el at Me o e , and which, while betraying profound erudition, was so condensed that the editor deemed it necessary to provide it with explanatory notes.

During a voyage from Bari , on the coast of Italy , they were captured by the Moorish Spanish people Spanish admiral Ibn Rumahis , who, according to the legend, became enamored of the beautiful young wife of Moses. In distress she asked her husband in Hebrew whether those who were drowned in the sea could look forward to resurrection, and when he answered, in the words of the psalm , The Lord saith, I will bring again from Bashan , I will bring them again from the depths of the sea, she cast herself into the waters and was drown ed. Moses was taken to C rdoba, Spain Cordova with his little son Hanoch benMoses Hanoch , where he was redeemed by the Jews Jewish community, about 945 or 948. While there he went to the schoolhouse, took his seat in a corner, and listened quietly to the Talmudic discourse of the judge and rabbi, Nathan, not a very learned man. Some of the stranger s remarks attracted attention, and his detailed explanation of the passage quoted by Nathan and his ready answers to all questions addressed to him astonished the whole assembly. Nathan, therefore, on that very day voluntarily resigned his office and confessed himself Moses pupil. The wealthy community of Cordova showed Moses much honor and immediately elected him rabbi.

He rejected the belief in miracle s, instead believing they could be explained, and defended man s free will by philosophical arguments. He died at an advanced age as he was returning to his native land from Soria.

Hanoch was captured by the Moorish pirate Ibn Rumahis and brought to C rdoba, Spain Cordova . R. Hanoch eventually succeeded his father as rabbi and Rosh Yeshivah there, although for a time he faced opposition by R. Joseph ibn Abitur and by the latter s patron, Yaakov ibn Jo, the lay leader of the Jewish community of the Caliphate of Cordoba . His best known student was R. Samuel ibn Naghrela Shmuel ha Nagid . Ibn Daud reports that relations between R. Hanoch and R. Hai Gaon were strained, since the increasing stature of the Spanish yeshivot led to a lessening of their communities financial contributions to the Talmudic Academies in Babylonia . Indeed, R. Hanoch seems to have corresponded only rarely with the Talmudic Academies in Babylonia Babylonian Geonim . However, R. Hai demonstrated his respect for R. Hanoch, by honoring his Cherem excommunication of Ibn Abitur and refusing the latter an audience. R. Hanoch left no written works, although there are some extant responsa between him and Rav Hai Gaon , as well as between him and the then Gaon in the Land of Israel , Rav Shmuel ha Kohen. He died of injuries following a fall, when the bimah in the Cordova synagogue collapsed on Simchat Torah . Ibn Daud dates this incident to 4775 1014 , but also states that it was thirteen years before the death of Rav Hai Gaon in 4798, so that the correct reading should be 4785 1024 .

Mosesben Mordecai Zacuto ca. 1625 1 October 1697 , also known as the Ramaz , was a kabalistic writer and poet. It is generally supposed that his birthplace was Amsterdam , although, like the Amsterdam rabbi Saul Levi Morteira , he probably lived in Venice , the residence of a brother named Nehemiah. He was a pupil of Morteira, on whose death he composed a long elegy edited by Kaufmann in R. E. J. xxxvii. 115 et seq. , and he was also a fellow student of Baruch Spinoza . Travels He was inclined to mysticism from his youth, and at one time fasted forty days that he might forget the Latin language Latin which he had learned, since, in his opinion, it could not be reconciled with cabalistic truths. To continue his Talmudic studies he went from Amsterdam to Pozna Posen or Poland , as is clear from the letter of recommendation which he gave at Venice in 1672 to the delegates who had come to Italy to collect money for the oppressed Polish communities. It was his intention to make a pilgrimage to Palestine , but on the way he was persuaded to remain as rabbi in Venice, where he stayed, with the exception of a short residence in Padua , from 1645 until the summer of 1673. He was then called to Mantua at a fixed salary of 300 ducats, and remained there until his death, twenty four years later. His epitaph is given by Wolf Bibl. Hebr. iv. 1200 and by Landshuth Ammude ha Abodah, p. 215 . Mystical pursuits Zacuto applied himself with great diligence to the study of the Cabala under ayyim Vital s pupil Benjamin ha Levi, who had come to Italy from Safed and this remained the chief occupation of his life. He established a seminary for the study of the Cabala, and his favorite pupils, Benjamin ha Kohen and Abraham Rovigo , often visited him for months at a time at Venice or Mantua, to investigate cabalistic mysteries.
