- JUDAH BEN KALONYMUS BEN MOSES OF MAINZ (d. c. 1200), German
scholar, halakhic authority, paytan, and kabbalist. He was
the pupil of Shemariah b. Mordecai in Speyer, and of Judah
he-Ḥasid , who taught him mysticism. During the Third Crusade
(1189–93) Judah braced his community to face the approaching trials and
inspired them to repentance. Among his prominent pupils were his son
Eleazar (who stated that he had received the mystical interpretation of
the prayers and other kabbalistic knowledge from his father),
eliezer b. joel ha-levi , and baruch b. samuel , the author
of Sefer ha-Ḥokhmah. His halakhic decisions are quoted in the
works of the earlier authorities. He wrote seliḥot and
piyyutim.
