- ZECHARIAH MENDEL BEN ARYEH LEIB (d. after 1707), rabbi and
author. He was born in Cracow, where his father was rabbi of the
community. On his father's death in 1671 samuel koidonover was
appointed to succeed him, while Zechariah Mendel was appointed rabbi of
the main synagogue. Some time after 1674 he was appointed rabbi of
Tvrobin and from 1691 to 1700, he was rabbi of Belz. Zechariah was an
active member of the council of four lands ; his signature appears
on takkanot of the council issued during the years 1688–1700.
He was the author of Ba'er Heitev on the Shulḥan Arukh,
Yoreh De'ah (in Sh. Ar., Amsterdam, 1754) and Ḥoshen
Mishpat (in Sh. Ar., ibid., 1762), a digest of the
halakhic comments on the Shulhan Arukh, similar to the commentaries of
the same name by judah b. simeon ashkenazi or Tiktin on Oraḥ
Ḥayyim, Yoreh De'ah, and Even ha-Ezer, by Isaiah b.
Abraham on Oraḥ Ḥayyim, and by
moses b. simeon frankfurter on Ḥoshen Mishpat. Later
editions of the Shulḥan Arukh generally contain Zechariah Mendel's
Ba'er Heitev to Yoreh De'ah and Ḥoshen Mishpat and
that of Ashkenazi to Oraḥ Ḥayyim and Even ha-Ezer.
Zechariah's son JOSEPH was av bet din in
