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

Talmudiste ; né à Wilna, Russie, vers 1735 ; mort à Safed vers 1785. La congrégation de Hébron en 1765 l'envoya comme émissaire (_meshullaḥ_) en Perse. À l'éclatement d'une guerre en 1775, Botsra, la ville où il résidait, fut assiégée ; mais lui, sa femme et son fils nouveau-né, Eliezer Jeruḥam, s'échappèrent et s'établirent à Safed. Il célébra sa délivrance en vers hébreux intitulés « Megillat Paras » (Le Rouleau de Perse), publiés par son petit-fils, R. Jacob Saul Alyashar, dans « Ish Emunim » (Jérusalem, 1885).
