ASHKENAZI, JUDAH BEN SIMEON
- ASHKENAZI, JUDAH BEN SIMEON
- ASHKENAZI, JUDAH BEN SIMEON (18th century), German
codifier. Ashkenazi was born in Frankfurt on the Main where his father
was a scribe and parnas of the community. Ashkenazi was
serving as dayyan in Tiktin, Poland, before 1742. He wrote
Ba'er Heitev, a brief commentary on Joseph Caro's Shulḥan
Arukh. His commentary on Oraḥ Ḥayyim was published together
with the text (Amsterdam, 1742); and on Yoreh De'ah
(ibid., 1736; with additions, 1777); on Even
ha-Ezer (ibid., 1739); Ḥoshen Mishpat was
not published.
Three other works on the Shulḥan Arukh were published under the name
Ba'er Heitev. These are not so much commentaries as résumés
of the opinions of other codifiers. They are by Isaiah b. Abraham
ha-Levi on Oraḥ Ḥayyim (ibid., 1708); Moses b.
Simeon Frankfurt on Ḥoshen Mishpat (ibid., 1749);
and by zechariah Mendel b. Aryeh Leib of Belz on Yoreh
De'ah (ibid., 1754) and Ḥoshen Mishpat
(ibid., 1764). In later editions of the Shulḥan Arukh the
Ba'er Heitev of Ashkenazi on Oraḥ Ḥayyim and
Even ha-Ezer are published, while those of Yoreh
De'ah and Ḥoshen Mishpat are by Zechariah Mendel of
Belz.
