- LURIA, JEHIEL BEN ISRAEL ASHKENAZI
(16th–17th century), kabbalist; scholar of
safed and its emissary to western europe . It may be assumed that
Luria was a relation of Isaac ashkenazi luria (Ha-Ari). In 1599 he
was in Worms and in 1601 in venice , apparently on his return
journey to Ereẓ Israel.That year he published three works in Venice:
Heikhal ha-Shem containing early Kabbalah fragments on the
ten Sefirot, with an appendix of several sayings in the name
of Isaac Luria and two piyyutim (the Bar Yohai
piyyut and "an elegy on the desolation of the Temple to be said in
the early morning vigil"); Asis Rimmonim, an abridgment of
the Pardes Rimmonim of Moses Cordovero; and
Ḥaredim of eleazar azikri , the first edition from
the manuscript. He returned to Ereẓ Israel from this mission and in 1604
was again sent out by the Safed community, on this occasion together
with Solomon ibn Ẓur, to the countries of North Africa. Several letters
about the mission are extant that were written from Safed to
philanthropists in Algeria, and in these the conditions of the Jews of
Safed at that time are described. A responsum by Luria on kabbalistic
topics is cited by abraham galante (in Kol Bokhim on
Lam. 1:6).
