David Solomon Eibenschutz

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

David Solomon Eibenschutz (d. 1812) (Hebrew: דוד שלמה אייבשיץ) was a Russian rabbi and author, pupil of Rabbi Moses Tzvi Heller, and author of Geon Ẓebi. He occupied the position of rabbi in Buzhanow, Soroki (Volhynia), and Iaşi, Romania. From the last-named city he went to the Land of Israel and remained there until his death (in Safed).

He was the author of many kabalistic and Talmudical works, which still exist in manuscript. He also wrote Lebushe Serad, in two parts. The first part contains a commentary on the Shulḥan 'Aruk, Oraḥ Ḥayyim, with comments on David ben Samuel's Ṭure Zahab and Abraham Abele Gumbiner's Magen Abraham; at the end of this part is added the plan of the Temple as described by Ezekiel (Mohilev, 1818, and frequently). The second part is on Shulḥan 'Aruk, Yoreh De'ah (Mohilev, 1812). His Ne'ot Deshe is a compilation of 138 responsa, in two parts, the first of which was published in Lemberg, 1861, while the second is in manuscript. Arbe Naḥal is also in two parts, the first being a treatise on the Pentateuch, the second consisting of sermons (Kopust, Sdilkov, 1835; Krotoschin, 1840; Jitomir, 1850; Lemberg, 1856).
