Detail Description
Document by R. Raphael Aaron Ben Simeon (1848–1928), chief rabbi of Cairo. R. Ben Simeon, who was born in Jerusalem, became chief rabbi of Cairo in 1891. Toward the end of his life he returned to Palestine and settled in Tel Aviv. Ben Simeon wrote a number of works, mainly dealing with questions of halakhah and ritual. They include Nehar Mizrayim (1908), on the ritual followed by the Jews in Egypt, and Sha'ar ha-Mifkad (1908–19), on the various rituals observed by the Jerusalem communities. His collection of responsa, U-mi-zur Devash (1912), includes rulings by his father David; Tuv-Mizrayim (1908) gives genealogies of Egyptian rabbis.
