- ISSACHAR BAER BEN SOLOMON ZALMAN (Klazki; d. 1807),
Lithuanian talmudist. The brother of elijah b. solomon Zalman the
"Gaon of Vilna," he was also known as Issachar Baer Ashers, in
accordance with the custom then prevailing, since his father-in-law was
Asher Ginsberg. Issachar Baer wrote a commentary to the Pentateuch
entitled Ẓuf Devash (unpublished), which is primarily a
literal commentary but also includes elucidations of talmudic passages
and a commentary on the Shulhan Arukh, Yoreh De'ah. He was
also interested in secular learning and in a letter to the Amsterdam
rabbi, Saul, dated 1775 (see Horowitz, in bibl.), he asked him to send
him the Nicomachean Ethics of Aristotle, as well as some
kabbalistic works.
