- BERLIN, DAVID BEN (Judah) LOEB (d. 1771), German rabbi and
talmudic authority. The brother of isaiah berlin , he was probably
born in Eisenstadt (Hungary). After serving as rabbi of Dessau and
Marktbreit (Bavaria) and as chief rabbi of Schwarzburg, Berlin was
appointed rabbi of the three united congregations of Altona, Hamburg,
and Wandsbeck. In 1769 when the Danish government, at the instance of
the Hamburg Town Council, sought to separate the Altona Jewish community
from that of Hamburg, Berlin was elected a member of the delegation
whose successful intercession with the Danish king resulted in the
continuation of the status quo. His learned correspondence with his
brother-in-law, Joseph Steinhardt, was published in the latter's work,
Zikhron Yosef (EH 4:11; ḤM
1:2); a number of his responsa have been published in Or
Yisrael of israel b. eliezer lipschuetz (Cleves, 1770) and
in Beit Evel u-Veit Mishteh of Samuel Palaggi (Altona, 1770).
Some of his talmudic novellae and homilies are in manuscript at the
Bodleian Library.
