CASE (Casa), JOSEPH BEN ABRAHAM
- CASE (Casa), JOSEPH BEN ABRAHAM
- CASE (Casa), JOSEPH BEN ABRAHAM (d. before 1612), Polish
rabbi. It is surmised by some that Joseph lived for a time in Italy, the
name Case being very similar to the Italian family name cases . He
is also known by the surname Shapiro. Case apparently served as rabbi of
Lemberg when joshua falk was head of the yeshivah there, and he
seems also to have been rabbi of Posen, where he died shortly before his
son, Solomon Zalman. Although he left no literary works, he was regarded
as an outstanding authority. In the responsa of Meir of Lublin (no. 88),
he is mentioned as one of "the four greatest halakhic teachers in the
whole of Poland, Lithuania, and Russia," and he is referred to as "the
gaon Rabbi Joseph, av bet din of Lemberg and the
whole region of Podolia. Some identify him with a Joseph mentioned in
the responsa Masat Binyamin (1633) of benjamin slonik
(no. 22).
