Polish rabbi born in Warsaw in 1815, died in that city on September 11, 1878. He directed a yeshiva for forty-two years and became in 1870 rabbi of Warsaw, succeeding R. Bär ben Isaac Meisels, a position which he occupied approximately four years before renouncing it, poorly accepted by the Hasidim. He completed his « Sifte Kohen » at eighteen, then drafted at twenty-three his « Tif'eret Ya'aḳob » on the Shoulhan Aroukh (Warsaw, 1842), much of the edition of which was destroyed by censorship; he publishes again, under the same title, novellae on Guittin (1858) and Houllin (1867).

GESUNDHEIT, JACOB BEN ISAAC

This entry is not yet translated: it is shown in French.

Rabbin polonais ; né à Varsovie en 1815 ; mort là le 11 septembre 1878. Il dirigea une yeshibah pendant quarante-deux ans, plusieurs de ses nombreux élèves devenant des rabbins bien connus. En 1870, il fut choisi comme rabbin de Varsovie en succession à R. Bär ben Isaac [Meisels](/articles/10591-meisels-dob-berush-b-isaac), et occupa cette charge pendant environ quatre ans, quand il fut contraint de l'abandonner du fait qu'il n'était pas acceptable aux Ḥasidim. Jacob termina son "Sifte Kohen" à l'âge de dix-huit ans. À vingt-trois ans, il écrivit son "Tif'eret Ya'aḳob," sur le Shulḥan 'Aruk, Ḥoshen Mishpaṭ (Varsovie, 1842), mais la plus grande partie de l'édition fut détruite sur ordre du censeur (voir Fürst, "Bibl. Jud." v. 3). Ses autres ouvrages publiés portent également le même nom, "Tif'eret Ya'aḳob," et comprennent des novelles sur le Giṭṭin (_ib._ 1858) et le Ḥullin (_ib._ 1867), qui sont très hautement estimées par les savants talmudiques d'Europe orientale. Il laissa également plusieurs ouvrages en manuscrit.
