- NAVON, JONAH MOSES BEN BENJAMIN
- NAVON, JONAH MOSES BEN BENJAMIN (d. 1841), rabbi and
Jerusalem emissary. Navon, together with his cousin, Joseph Saadiah
Navon, was sent to Gibraltar and to various Moroccan communities by the
rabbis of Jerusalem in 1802–03 in order to mobilize financial aid for
the Jerusalem community. He went on a second mission in 1804, and on his
return was appointed a member of the bet din of Solomon Moses
Suzin, whom he succeeded at the end of 1836 as Rishon
le-Zion, a position he held until his death. Navon used his great
authority to assist the Ashkenazi community of Jerusalem in acquiring
the "Ḥurvah Synagogue" of Judah he-Ḥasid from the Arabs and in erecting
a synagogue on the site. Navon added novellae and glosses to the
Neḥpah ba-Kesef, vol. 2 (Jerusalem, 1843) of his
grandfather, jonah b. hanun navon , and some of his own responsa
appear in the Ḥukkei Ḥayyim (ibid.,
1843. of Ḥayyim Gagin .
