JUDAH BEN MENAHEM OF ROME
- JUDAH BEN MENAHEM OF ROME
- JUDAH BEN MENAHEM OF ROME (early 12th century),
liturgical poet. Judah, whose son Menahem was the head of the Talmud
academy in Rome, is one of the major Italian paytanim. His
poems must have been fairly popular in the Middle Ages, since they have
come down in a number of manuscripts of the Roman ritual. At present, 15
of Judah's poems are known, of which only six have appeared in print:
the Yoẓerot for shabbat ha-gadol , Shabbat
Naḥamu, Simḥat Torah, and Shavuot; the ofan for the
last; and a poem for Purim. He was perhaps the compiler of Seder
Ḥibbur Berakhot, the oldest work on the Roman rite.
