- ḤABIB, MOSES BEN SOLOMON IBN (c. 1654–1696), Turkish rabbi
and author. He was born in salonika , a descendant of Levi ben
Ḥabib , and went to Jerusalem in his youth. He studied in the
yeshivah of Jacob Ḥagiz and from c. 1677 to 1679 he traveled as
an emissary of Jerusalem, reaching as far as Budapest. In 1688 Ḥabib was
appointed head of the yeshivah in Jerusalem maintained by the
philanthropist Moses ibn Ya'ish, of Constantinople. In the following
year, on the death of Moses Galante, Ḥabib was appointed to succeed him
as chief rabbi of Jerusalem (1689). His grandson, jacob culi , who
published most of his grandfather's works, also had in his possession a
number of other manuscripts which he used in his own work Me-'Am
Lo'ez (Constantinople, 1733). A manuscript of his sermons is in
the National Library in Jerusalem. The ascription to him of the Eẓ
ha-Da'at (printed in Or Ẓaddikim, Salonika, 1799) has
been questioned by S. Ḥazzan.
He wrote the following works: Get Pashut (Ortakoi, 1719), on
the laws of divorce and ḥaliẓah; Shammot ba-Areẓ
(Constantinople, 1727), consisting of "Yom Teru'ah," on the
tractate Rosh Ha-Shanah, "Tosafot Yom
ha-Kippurim," on the tractate Yoma, and "Kappot
Temarim," on the tractate Sukkah (Constantinople,
1731); and Ezrat Nashim (ibid., 1731), on the laws
of agunah. Ḥ.J.D. Azulai states that most of Ḥabib's
responsa were lost at sea; however some have survived, and have been
published, part in Kol Gadol (Jerusalem, 1907), and part in
the works of contemporary scholars (Devar Sha'ul, 1927).
Moses also wrote a commentary on the Jerusalem Talmud entitled
Penei Moshe of which tractates Berakhot, Pe'ah,
and Demai are extant in manuscript (Sassoon Ms. 592).
