- AARON SAMUEL BEN NAPHTALI HERZ HA-KOHEN (1740–1814), Polish
rabbi. He served as rabbi to the communities of Stefan, Ostrog, Yampol,
and Belaya Tserkov. He was an ardent follower of dov baer of
Mezhirech and Phinehas Shapira of Korets and was influenced by them in
his views on Ḥasidism. He collected extracts from their statements in
his books, Kodesh Hillulim (Lemberg, 1864). His talmudic
novellae and his responsa were destroyed by fire. Only Kore
me-Rosh, a commentary on the Midrash Rabbah, of which a
portion only (part of Genesis) has been published (Berdichev, 1811), and
Ve-Ẓivvah ha-Kohen, an ethical will to his children preceded
by an anthology of homiletical and esoteric thoughts (Belaya Tserkov,
1823; Jerusalem, 1953), have survived.
