SHALOM, ABRAHAM
SHALOM, ABRAHAM (d. 1557?), rabbi, also known as Ha-Rosh (from the initials of R. Shalom). Abraham Shalom was born in Salonika to a family of rabbis, possibly the grandson of abraham b. isaac shalom (d. 1492). He studied with his friend solomon ha-levi alkabez under Joseph Taitaẓak in Salonika, and later became a teacher there. In about 1530 he settled in Safed, where he became the disciple and colleague of jacob berab I; he was one of the four scholars who received semikhah (rabbinical ordination) from Berab. Shalom, the colleague of joseph caro and Moses of trani , served as dayyan and head of a yeshivah. His grandson Abraham b. Eliezer Shalom was one of the most important rabbis of Safed. -BIBLIOGRAPHY: Conforte, Kore, 36a, 49b; Neubauer, Chronicles, 1 (1887), 140; Rosanes, Togarmah, 2 (1938), 175; 3 (1938), 97, 426; Yaari, Sheluḥei, 243–4; Benayahu, in: Sefer Yovel… Y.
