MIZRAḤI, DAVID BEN SHALOM
- MIZRAḤI, DAVID BEN SHALOM
- MIZRAḤI, DAVID BEN SHALOM (c. 1696–1771), one of the most
prominent halakhah scholars in yemen . Mizraḥi
propagated Torah studies and headed the synagogue of the
nagid Sar Shalom Irāqi (al-Usta). When the need was felt for
a commentary on the Shulḥan Arukh adapted to the requirements of
Yemenite Jewry and its customs, David Mizraḥi undertook this task in his
work Shetilei Zeitim (1886–91), on Oraḥ Ḥayyim
(1886–91; 1895). He explains the Shulḥan Arukh with brevity and clarity,
quoting the customs of Yemenite Jewry which are not mentioned by R.
Moses Isserles and the commentaries of the Shulḥan Arukh. He
retained all the notes of R. Moses Isserles that are in agreement with
the Shulḥan Arukh and omitted everything that was in contradiction to
it, including customs. Mizraḥi adopted the same style in his work
Rashei Besamim (1895) on the Yoreh De'ah. His
third work is Revid ha-Zahav (1955), responsa and novellas on
the Shulḥan Arukh and R. Moses Isserles (some of which were written by
his son Yiḥya). This work is the first of its kind in the responsa
literature of Yemenite Jewry.
