KAẒIN, JUDAH BEN YOM TOV
KAẒIN, JUDAH BEN YOM TOV (1708–1783), rabbi and halakhic authority of aleppo , whose rabbinical office he filled for many years. Kaẓin was involved in the controversy which broke out among the rabbis of Aleppo over the imposition of the authority of the local rabbis on the "Francos" (Jewish merchants of Western European origin who arrived in Aleppo during the late 17th century). The chief rabbi raphael solomon laniado demanded that the local customs be imposed on them, while the rabbis of Aleppo, led by Kaẓin, were opposed to this. During his last years he wrote Maḥaneh Yehudah (Leghorn, 1803), which includes his arguments concerning this controversy and the approbations of the rabbis of Aleppo and jerusalem . It appears that with the deaths of Laniado and Kaẓin at the end of the 18th century the dispute subsided. Kaẓin also wrote responsa, which form the first part of the work Ro'ei Yisrael (1904), and sermons, Ve-Zot li-Yhudah (still in Ms.). -BIBLIOGRAPHY: M.D. Gaon, Yehudei ha-Mizraḥ be-Ereẓ Yisrael, 2 (1937), 630; D.Z.
