Yosef Babad
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Yosef Ben Moshe Babad (1801, Przeworsk – 1874, Safed) was a Rabbi, posek and Talmudist, best known for his work, the Minchat Chinuch, a commentary on the Sefer Hachinuch. He studied under Chaim Halberstam, the Sanzer Rov, and enjoyed close relationships with the various Hasidic leaders of Galicia. Rabbi Babad's first wife is unknown; he later married the sister of Rabbi Halberstam, and on her passing he again remarried. He served as rabbi in several cities in Galicia, and in 1857 was appointed as Av Beit Din of Tarnopol, where he served for the rest of his career.
