orphan date May 2010 AaronBenAsher of Karlin June 6, 1802 June 23, 1872 , known as Rabbi Aaron II of Karlin , was one of the most famous rabbis of the asidim in northwestern Russia . He had an immense number of followers, and many thousands of them used to visit him annually, about the time of the Jewish New Year , as is the custom among that sect. Notwithstanding his severity of manner and the not infrequent rudeness of his behavior, he was highly esteemed by his adherents. He reigned in Karlin Pinsk Karlin , near Pinsk , in the government of Minsk currently in Belarus , in succession to his father and his grandfather, Aaronben Jacob . A few years before his death he had a quarrel with a rich family of Karlin and removed from there to Stolin , a town several miles distant. Considering the amount of business that the yearly influx of strangers brought to the city where he resided, his removal was regarded as a misfortune for Karlin. He died, aged seventy years and seventeen days, in Malinovka , near Dubno , in Volhynia , while on a journey to the wedding of his granddaughter, and was succeeded by his son, Asher of Stolin , whose chief claim to distinction is that he spent most of his time at the mi wah bath .

AaronMosesben Mordecai was one of the few cabalistic writers of East Prussia author of a work, Nishmat Shelomoh Mordecai The Soul of Solomon Mordecai Johannisberg, 1852 , so called in remembrance of his son, who died in early childhood. On the title page the statement is made that the work is a commentary on M. . Luzzatto s o er u Me ubbal indeed the text of this treatise is printed in the volume. Aaron used the name of Luzzatto merely to give greater vogue to his own book, because of the waning influence of the Cabala in Poland at the time. In reality, Aaron s work is a commentary on the E ayyim of ayyim Vital, the arch apostle of the cabalistic school of Luria. AaronMoses states l.c. p. 46a that he was the author also of a commentary on the Midrash Tan uma, entitled Zebed ob A Goodly Gift . This has not been printed.

AaronbenMoses Teomim was a Czech Polish rabbinical scholar born about 1630, probably in Prague, where the Teomim Fr nkel family, from Vienna , had settled died in Chmelnik , Poland, July 8, 1690. In 1670 he was called as rabbi to Worms, where he succeeded Samson Bacharach . Prior to this he had been a preacher at Prague. In a serious illness which overcame him on Passover evening, 1675 he vowed he would write a commentary on the Haggadah if he should be restored to health. On his recovery he published this commentary under the title Ma eh Aharon Aaron s Rod , Frankfort on the Main, 1678. Another work, Bigde Aharon Aaron s Vestments , homilies on the Pentateuch, was published after the author s death at Frankfort on the Main, 1710. His Glosses on Shul an Aruk, oshen Mishpa remained in manuscript. Responsa of his are found in the collections of Jair ayyim Bacharach, awwot Yair, and in those of Eliakim Goetz b. Meir of Hildesheim, Eben ha Shoham. In 1677 Aaron received a call to Lissa in Poland, which he declined but in 1690 he accepted a call to the rabbinical seat of Cracow . He was there but three months when a Polish nobleman, probably in order to blackmail the congregation, ordered his arrest in Chmelnik, whither he had gone to attend the congregational Meeting of the Four Lands Arba Ara ot . On Sabbath, July 8, 1690, he was arrested, placed on horseback, and hurried to prison. He fell off the horse several times and was as often remounted. Before the jail was reached he had died of fright and ill treatment. He was buried at Pintchov . As a character and as a rabbinical scholar, Aaron Teomim did not rise above the level of his contemporaries. In his rabbinical works, Teomim is a typical Pilpulist. His scholastic discourses are in accordance with the vogue of that age. That his theories, as exhibited in his treatment of the Haggadah , were appreciated by his contemporaries, is proved by the fact that his Haggadah was reprinted three times at Amsterdam , in 1695 ... more details

After the latter s death in 1812, Aaron took up his residence as rabbi at Staroselye , and many flocked to him to have the Law explained in accordance with the teachings of his master.

Aaronben Isaac Sason was an Ottoman author and Talmudist born in Constantinople in 1629. He was a grandson of Aaronben Joseph Sason, an eminent Talmudist, and cousin of ayyim Benveniste , the famous scholar. Aaron Cupino , rabbi of Constantinople, was his teacher in Talmudic lore, and was so successful that at the age of twenty his pupil engaged in Talmudic controversies with Moses Benveniste, who thought them worthy of publication. The great Palestinian Pilpulist, Judah Rozanes , referred with respect to an unpublished work, Hen Yeshalla , by R. Aaron. Whether the work Sefat Emet should be credited to R. Aaron or to his grandfather, Aaronben Joseph , is uncertain. The latter is more probably its author. Shabbethai Bass, the only writer who mentions that particular book, in his Sifte Yeshenim, throws no light on this question, merely mentioning that it is by Aaron Sason.

Aaronben Joseph Sason was an Ottoman Talmudic author born toward the middle of the sixteenth century, probably at Salonica , where he received his rabbinical education under the supervision of Mordecai Matalon , an eminent scholar. During the last decades of the sixteenth century Aaronben Joseph engaged in teaching, and some of his pupils ranked among the eminent rabbis of Turkey. With these, as well as with his colleagues, he maintained a lively correspondence on Talmudic questions, the summary of which 232 responsa was published at Venice in 1625 under the title Torat Emet Law of Truth . In the introduction to this work he mentions his commentaries on Yad ha aza ah of Maimonides and on the ur of Jacob benAsher, as well as his treatises on various halakic subjects, which do not appear to have been published, and which are perhaps altogether lost. It seems probable that the work Sefat Emet Lip of Truth , which, according to the testimony of Shabbethai, Bass, contains scholia to the Talmud and to the Tosafot, was written by Aaronben Joseph and not by his grandson, Aaronben Isaac Sason . This prob ability is supported to some extent by the title, Sefat Emet, which corresponds with the title of his collection of responsa, as well as by the above cited statement in his introduction to Torat Emet, that he had written scholia to the Talmud.
