- BRESLAU, JOSEPH MOSES BEN DAVID (1691–1752), German
rabbinical scholar apparently born in the city of that name. Breslau
studied under abraham broda , whose daughter he married. He served
as rabbi in Krefeld and, from 1743 until his death, in Bamberg. He was
author of (1) Shoresh Yosef (1730), on the laws and
principles of Migo (in talmudic law the credence given to a
party in a lawsuit on the premise that if he were lying he could have
told a more convincing lie); (2) Ḥok Yosef (1730), on the
laws of Passover, comprising novellae on the Oraḥ Ḥayyim
sections of the Shulḥan Arukh (429–94). In it Breslau criticizes
the Ḥok Ya'akov of Jacob Reischer. The two books were
published together under the title Ḥukkim Tovim (1767).
Reischer wrote a reply entitled Lo Hibbit Ayen be-Ya'akov,
which was published in the 1814 edition of Ḥukkim Tovim; (3)
Ketonet Yosef, sermons, published by his son, Abraham of
Muehlhausen, as an appendix to the Toledot Avraham (1769) of
Broda. His glosses on Oraḥ Ḥayyim and on Yoreh
De'ah as well as responsa remain in manuscript.
