ELIJAH BEN KALONYMUS OF LUBLIN
- ELIJAH BEN KALONYMUS OF LUBLIN
- ELIJAH BEN KALONYMUS OF LUBLIN (second half of
17th century), preacher and rabbi. Little is known about
Elijah, whose only extant work, Adderet Eliyahu (Frankfurt on
the Oder, 1696), contains sermons commenting on each weekly Torah
portion. They resemble short fables, each of which can stand
independently, while together they form an intricate whole. In these
derashot, written in a pleasant style, Elijah employs much
kabbalistic terminology, quoting from such works as the Zohar,
Zohar Ḥadash, and Sefer ha-Peli'ah, and makes use
of talmudic-midrashic literature as well as Rashi. At the end of the
book is appended a prayer from Ereẓ Israel, the recitation of which
could ensure forgiveness for sins connected with the destruction of the
Temple and the resultant Diaspora.
