ABRAHAM BEN N… HA-BAGHDADI
- ABRAHAM BEN N… HA-BAGHDADI
- ABRAHAM BEN N… HA-BAGHDADI (10th century),
communal leader in Babylonia. Information on Abraham is to be found in
the poems of praise dedicated to him by one Abraham ha-Kohen, who seems
to have been his secretary. He held a military command under the caliph
and was a protector of the Jewish community. The reopening of the
yeshivah of sura about 988 is attributed to him. He also
maintained friendly relations with hai gaon . There is reason to
believe that Abraham ha-Baghdadi was a member of the netira
family; he was possibly the son of Netira II and the
grandson of Sahl, who was the son of Netira I. One of his
sons was named Sahl, probably after his great-grandfather.

ABRAHAM BEN SAMUEL HE-ḤASID
ABRAHAM BEN SAMUEL HE-ḤASID (of Speyer;
12th century), rabbi and liturgical poet, the brother of
R. Judah b. Samuel he-Ḥasid . Abraham b. Samuel and
judah b. kalonymus , together with R. Shemariah b. Mordecai, later
constituted the bet din of speyer , and are referred to
as "the wise men of Speyer." eliezer b. nathan of Mainz describes
Abraham as "the sun of our orphaned age." Abraham's retort to a baptized
Jew is recorded in the Sefer Niẓẓaḥon. In contrast to his
father and brother, who were both famous for their mysticism and
pietism, Abraham was known for his exoteric teachings and only slight
traces of esoteric ideas can be found in his writings. Abraham wrote
four elegies in which he described Jewish suffering during the first two
Crusades (1096 and 1147).
