- LANIADO, RAPHAEL SOLOMON BEN SAMUEL
- LANIADO, RAPHAEL SOLOMON BEN SAMUEL (d. 1793), rabbi and
halakhic authority. Born in aleppo , Laniado was rabbi there from
1740 until his death. He was noted for his firmness which left no place
for compromise. In the 1760s he was the cause of a stormy controversy
within the Jewish community of Aleppo, when he sought to impose the
authority of the rabbis and the local community customs on the
francos . Led by R. judah b. yom-tov kazin , the other
rabbis of the town opposed him realizing that such a demand would be
harmful. This controversy continued over several years, and it is
uncertain when it came to an end.
Laniado's works include Beit Dino shel Shelomo ("Tribunal of
Solomon," Constantinople, 1775), responsa; Leḥem Shelomo
("The Bread of Solomon," ibid., 1775), various innovations in
halakhah; Ha-Ma'alot li-Shelomo ("Degrees of Solomon,"
ibid., 1775), homiletics; and Kisse Shelomo ("The
Throne of Solomon," Jerusalem, 1901). Some of his responsa were also
published in Ro'ei Yisrael ("Shepherds of Israel," Jerusalem,
1904).
