BENJAMIN, BARUCH BEN ISRAEL
- BENJAMIN, BARUCH BEN ISRAEL
- BENJAMIN, BARUCH BEN ISRAEL (17th century),
Jerusalem rabbi. After studying under his father, Baruch proceeded to
the yeshivah of Isaac Gaon, where Kabbalah was included in the
curriculum. He was a signatory to the regulation of 1646, which exempted
rabbinic scholars from taxation (A. Ankawa, in Kerem Ḥemed, 2
(1871), 22b). In 1657 he, together with other Jerusalem kabbalists,
endorsed the certificate which declared that Baruch Gad, the Jerusalem
messenger to the East, had visited the Ten Lost Tribes. Some of his
responsa were published in Mishpetei Ẓedek (1945, nos. 66,
95, 98, 100, 131, 133) of his friend, samuel garmison . While
serving as dayyan in Jerusalem he wrote a work on divorces
(Jerusalem Ms. Heb. 8°199). Toward the end of his life he traveled to
Egypt, possibly as an emissary, and he died there.
