- ARYEH LEIB BEN SAMUEL ẒEVI HIRSCH
- ARYEH LEIB BEN SAMUEL ẒEVI HIRSCH (1640–1718), Polish rabbi.
Aryeh Leib was the grandson of joel sirkes . He studied under his
stepfather David ha-Levi, author of the Turei Zahav, and
later under Joshua Hoeschel of Cracow. At the age
of 23, he was appointed rabbi of Zwierz (in
the district of Lemberg) and five years later of Kamorna. In 1666 his
stepfather sent him and his stepbrother Isaiah ha-Levi to Constantinople
to Shabbetai Ẓevi, who welcomed them and expressed his concern over the
persecution of the Jews in 1648–51. Later he was rabbi of Stopnica
(1677–78), Zamość (1682), Tiktin (1689), Cracow (1695), and
Brest-Litovsk (1701–18). His responsa, entitled Sha'agat
Aryeh, were published by his grandson Abraham Nathan Neta Meisels,
who added his own responsa under the title of Kol Shaḥal
(Neuwied, 1736; Salonika, 1746). Aryeh Leib also prepared a collection
of his grandfather's responsa for publication. However, the work,
She'elot u-Teshuvot Ge'onei Batrai, which includes three of
his own responsa at the end, appeared (Turka, 1764) only after his
death. In several responsa Aryeh Leib states that his halakhic decision
is to be applied in practice subject to the agreement of his stepfather
David ha-Levi, whose comment on these responsa was: "My stepson has
determined the halakhah exactly."
