Polish Talmudist; died at Zolkiev May 25, 1810. He was rabbi in Clementow, and afterward head of the yeshibah at Zolkiev. He wrote "Eben Ozer" (Stone of Salvation), published by his grandson, Aaron b. Loeb of Pintschew (Zolkiev, 1792). It contains novell� to a large portion of the Talmud and of Alfasi, as also to Maimonides' "Yad" and Asher b. Jehiel's commentary. He also wrote novell� on the Shul?an 'Aruk, Ora? ?ayyim, which, under the title of "Eben Ozer," are appended to the Amsterdam edition of the Shul?an 'Aruk. The later Russian editions (Dubnow, 1820; Wilna, 1884, and others) also give these novell�.
