ELIEZER BEN ISAAC OF WORMS
- ELIEZER BEN ISAAC OF WORMS
- ELIEZER BEN ISAAC OF WORMS (also called "Eliezer
ha-Gadol"; 11th century), German talmudic scholar.
Eliezer was a pupil of his relative Simeon ha-Gadol, in mainz ,
and later of gershom Me'or ha-Golah, and judah ha-kohen ,
author of Sefer ha-Dinim. He was a friend of Jacob b. Jakar
(Rokeaḥ, Ha-Tefillah 21; Joseph Solomon Delmedigo,
Maẓref le-Ḥokhmah 14:2). After the death of R. Gershom, he
and Jacob b. Yakar headed the yeshivah of Mainz, which numbered among
its pupils Isaac ha-Levi and isaac b. judah , the teacher of
Rashi, who mentions Eliezer several times in his commentaries to the
Bible (e.g., Ps. 76:11) and the Talmud (Pes. 76b) calling him
"ha-Gadol" or "ha-Ga'on." A number of Eliezer's
decisions and instructions have been preserved in works issuing from
Rashi's school, including the Sefer ha-Pardes. Menahem b.
Judah di Lonzano attributes to Eliezer the well-known work, Orḥot
Ḥayyim or Ẓavva'at R. Eli'ezer ha-Gadol, which had
previously been attributed to eliezer b. hyrcanus . The suggestion
that Eliezer was the father of Tobiah b. Eliezer, author of the
Lekah Tov, is without firm foundation. The selihah
"Elohai Basser" recited in the Yom Kippur Katan
service, which bears Eliezer's name in acrostic form, has been
attributed to him.
