ELIJAH BEN JUDAH OF PARIS
- ELIJAH BEN JUDAH OF PARIS
- ELIJAH BEN JUDAH OF PARIS (first half of the 12th
century), French talmudist, commentator, and halakhist. Elijah is quoted
in the tosafot and in the works of eliezer b. nathan of
Mainz, eliezer b. joel ha-Levi of Bonn, moses of Coucy,
mordecai b. hillel , meir b. baruch of Rothenburg, and
others. He was considered one of the leading scholars of his time,
together with R. Tam and meshullam b. nathan of Melun, who held
him in great esteem. Eliezer b. Nathan of Mainz directed his question on
Ḥezkat ha-Ḥallonot to these three scholars (Raban, 153:3);
and questions were also addressed to Elijah by Isaac b. Samuel ha-Zaken
(Tos. to Ket. 54b). moses b. abraham of Pontoise, in a responsum
to R. Tam (Sefer ha-Yashar, Resp. 51), refers to Elijah as
"our teacher and our light." The Jews of Paris followed his customs,
even in opposition to the views of R. Tam. His ruling (Tos. to Eruv.
97a) that the tefillin knot must be tied every day is
well-known. Zunz attributes to Elijah a number of liturgical poems.
