JONATHAN BEN ABRAHAM ISAAC
- JONATHAN BEN ABRAHAM ISAAC
- JONATHAN BEN ABRAHAM ISAAC (Abelman; 1854–1903),
rabbi and talmudist. Born in the Kovno province, Jonathan went at the
age of 15 to study under R. israel lipkin in Vilna, where he later
married the daughter of Abba Levinsohn, his teacher's brother-in-law. In
1877 he accepted the position of rabbi in the small town of Choroszcz,
where he stayed until 1883. That year he was appointed a member of the
bet din in Bialystok and became its av bet din
when samuel mohilever was chief rabbi of the community. Jonathan
held the position until his death. His works include Torat
Yehonatan (1889), dealing with the question of
shemittah, which became particularly relevant as a result of
the newly established agricultural settlements in Ereẓ Israel. He also
wrote Zikhron Yehonatan, published after his death by his son
(1905), consisting of novellae on parts of the Shulḥan Arukh. Some of
his responsa are included in David Kempner's Le-Matteh
Yehudah (1892).
