- AMARILLO, AARON BEN SOLOMON
- AMARILLO, AARON BEN SOLOMON (1700–1772), halakhic authority
and kabbalist. Amarillo was born and spent his whole life in Salonika.
He studied under David Serero, one of the great Salonikan halakhic
authorities of his day. On the death of Isaac b. Shangi in 1761, he was
appointed one of the three chief rabbis of Salonika (as his father had
been before him), serving together with R. Benvenisti Gatigno and R.
Eliezer Raphael Naḥmias. His responsa Penei Aharon (1796)
were published by his son Moses. Some of his responsa were published in
the Ashdot ha-Pisgah of Joseph Naḥmuli (Salonika, 1790). He
edited Kohelet Ben David (Salonika, 1749) of David Ḥazzan,
appending to it a eulogy and elegies on the death of his brother Ḥayyim
Moses. During a severe economic crisis in 1756, he proposed a moratorium
on all debts. This was adopted by
the community and led to an improvement in the economic situation.
