Rabbi at Mayence, and later at Hamburg, in the middle of the seventeenth century. He was the author of "Shikḥat Leḳeṭ," a supplement to the "Yalḳuṭ Ḥadash," with which work it was published at Prague in 1652. This supplement contains the haggadot and cabalistic references to the Pentateuch which were omitted in the "Yalḳuṭ." The "Shikḥat Leḳeṭ" was reprinted at Amsterdam in 1700, together with a preface and additions by Ẓebi Hirsch b. Abraham Wronke, as a supplement to the "Yalḳuṭ Re'ubeni."
