ASHKENAZI, MEIR BEN BENJAMIN WOLF
- ASHKENAZI, MEIR BEN BENJAMIN WOLF
- ASHKENAZI, MEIR BEN BENJAMIN WOLF (second half of the
17th century), German rabbi. Ashkenazi was the first
appointed rabbi of the united communities of Altona, Hamburg, and
Wandsbeck in 1664. He left his post in 1667, stipulating that he be
reinstated within a given period. However, the Hamburg and Wandsbeck
communities appointed another incumbent in his absence.
jacob sasportas , then ḥakham of the Sephardi community
in Hamburg, arbitrated in the ensuing conflict in favor of the two
communities. The union was temporarily dissolved and Ashkenazi remained
rabbi of Altona until 1669.
