- ISRAEL MOSES BEN ARYEH LOEB
- ISRAEL MOSES BEN ARYEH LOEB (18th–19th
century), talmudist and preacher. His father was a rabbi in Lissa, where
Israel received his rabbinical training. At the age of 28, Israel was
appointed rabbi in Prandzew, and later served in Zabludow and in Kornik.
He carried on correspondence with prominent rabbis and talmudic scholars
of his time, including akiva eger , the latter giving his
approbations to Israel's single published work, Rishmei
She'elah (Warsaw, 1811). This work, consisting of his halakhic
responsa, was published with an appendix containing some of his talmudic
novellae on Mo'ed Katan, as well as several homiletical
sermons taken from his two unpublished works, Eshel ha-Sarim
and Eshel ha-Rashim.
