Samuel ben Kalonymus he Hasid of Speyer lang he was a Tosafist , liturgical poet, and philosopher of the 12th century, surnamed also the Prophet Solomon Luria , Responsa , No. 29 . He seems to have lived in Spain and in France. He is quoted in the tosafot to Yebamot 6lb and So ah 12a , as well as by Samuel b. Me r RaSHBaM in his commentary on Arbe Pesa im Pes. 109a . Samuel was the author of a commentary on the treatise Tamid , mentioned by Abraham b. David in his commentary thereon, and of a liturgical poem, entitled Shir ha Yi ud, divided into seven parts corresponding to the seven days of the week. This poem is a philosophical hymn on the unity of God, for which Ibn Gabirol s Keter Malkut served as the basis. Like the latter, Samuel he asid treats of the divine nature from the negative side, that is to say, from the point of view that God is not like man. The Hebrew, if not very poetical, is pure but foreign words are used for the philosophical terms. The recitation of the poem was forbidden by Solomon Luria but other rabbis, among whom was Samuel Judah Katzenellenbogen , who wrote a commentary on it, decided to the contrary.

A siyum lang he completion means the completion of any unit of Torah study, or book of the Mishnah or Talmud in Judaism . A siyum is usually followed by a celebratory meal, or seudat mitzvah , a meal in honor of a mitzvah , or commandment. Siyum also refers to the celebration. An enduring custom is for the community to complete a unit of Torah or tractate s of Talmud during the 30 days following the death of a beloved one and hold a communal siyum thereafter, in tribute and honor of the memory of the deceased. It has become customary for synagogue s to arrange a siyum on the morning before Passover to allow those fasting for Ta anit Bechorim Fast of the Firstborn to break their fast, taking advantage of the Halakha halakhic principle that prioritizes Torah study. A siyum ha sefer , meaning completion of the book, is also held as a ceremonial completion and dedication of a sefer Torah , a handwritten copy of the Torah, the most important Jew ish ritual object, which is kept in the Ark synagogue Ark of a synagogue. Usually, when an individual or a group conclude the study of any tractate of the Talmud , or even of the Mishnah , a siyum is celebrated. At the end of every volume of the Talmud a special hadran prayer is printed with a set order of prayers and a special kaddish , Kaddish D itchadita , in honor of the completion of that volume, which Judaism considers to be an important achievement and a milestone worth celebrating. In the merit and honor of a deceased individual, it is customary to undertake Mishnah study with the goal of holding a siyum . Rabbi Moshe Feinstein , based on the Nemukei Yosef , the Ran Nissim of Gerona Rabbeinu Nissim , the Rashbam , and the Eliyah Rabbah , extends the concept of a siyum to include even a festive meal celebrating the completion of any mitzvah commandment that has taken a significant duration of time such as a number of weeks or months .

He was born at Cesena about 1475 and died at Bologna in 1550. After acquiring in his native town a thorough knowledge of Hebrew language Hebrew , rabbinic literature , mathematics , and philosophy , he went to Rome to study medicine . There his learning won for him a prominent place among scholars and when Johann Reuchlin Reuchlin was at Rome 1498 1500 and desired to perfect his knowledge of Secular Jewish culture Literature Hebrew literature , Cardinal Domenico Grimani advised him to apply to Obadiah. Equally high was Obadiah s reputation as a casuist . Me r Katzenellenbogen consulted him on legal questions Responsa, p. 97, 48 , and Joseph Colon invoked his authority Responsa, p. 96, No. 192, Sudilkov, 1834 . At the request of Israel ben Jehiel Ashkenazi, rabbi of Rome, Obadiah issued a decision in the case of Donina, daughter of Samuel darfati, the renowned physician of the pope. About 1525 Obadiah left Rome and led for some time a wandering life. From several letters of that epoch addressed to his brother Hananeel at Bologna it would appear that Obadiah was in poor circumstances. Finally he settled at Bologna, where he founded a yeshiva school of advanced Jewish studies which he conducted until his death. Obadiah was an indefatigable writer, chiefly in the field of Biblical exegesis . The characteristic features of his exegetical work are respect for the literal meaning of the text and a reluctance to entertain Kabbalah mystical interpretations .

Biography Joseph was a pupil of Jacob Tam , Joseph Kara , and Samuel ben Me r Rashbam .

Prague, No. 863 as those of Joseph Bekor Shor. Biblical Commentaries Joseph was on very friendly terms with his teacher Jacob Tam , with whom he carried on a learned correspondence Sefer ha Yashar , p. 71a . Besides tosafot on the greater part of the Talmud , he wrote a Biblical commentary marked by considerable acumen. Even more than Rashi , to whose exegetical school he belonged, he confined himself to literal interpretations peshat . Anticipating later Biblical criticism , he assumed the presence of duplicate narratives in the Bible, and he strove to give rational explanations to the miraculous stories. Thus he interprets tree of life Book of Genesis Genesis ii. 9 as tree of healing , explaining that the fruit of the tree possessed the virtue of healing the sick, without, however, bestowing eternal life. In regard to the transformation of Lot s wife into a pillar of salt Gen. xix. 26 he explains that, disbelieving in the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah , she lingered on the road, and was overtaken by the rain of brimstone and fire, which are usually mixed with salt.

In a list of that year associated with Abraham occurs the name of Leo Blund, whom Jacobs identifies with Judah ben Isaac ib. p. 88 comp. Bacher, in J.Q.R. vi.360 . Sir Leon must have left Paris in 1182, when all Jews were expelled from the French king s dominions he did not return till 1198. According to Gross, however, he received his chief training at Dampierre, Aube Dampierre under Samson ben Abraham of Sens Samson of Sens , Simson of Coucy , Solomon of Dreux , and Abraham ben Nathan of Lunel . Shortly after 1198 he returned to Paris and founded an important school of tosafists, in which were trained, among others, Jehiel ben Joseph Sir Leon s successor , Isaac ben Moses of Vienna author of Or Zarua , Samuel ben Solomon Sir Morel of Falaise , and Moses of Coucy . He appears to have composed tosafot to most of the tractates of the Talmud , traces being found of his annotations to twenty tractates.

Wolf Benjamin ben Samson Heidenheim 1757 February 23, 1832 was a German Biblical exegesis exegete and grammarian born at Heidenheim am Hahnenkamm At an early age Heidenheim was sent to F rth , where he studied Talmud under Joseph Steinhardt , author of Zikron Yosef, and, from 1777, under Hirsch Janow .
