Description
R. Judah Aaron Moses ben Abraham Hanok Altschuer, Rabbi at Kromau, Moravia, about the beginning of the seventeenth century. He was the author of an ethical work known by the title of "Vayehal Moshe" (And Moses Prayed; Ex. xxxii. 11). This, however, is really the name of only the first part of the work; that of the second being "Torat ha-Asham" (Precepts Concerning the Sin-offering). The "Vayehal Moshe" is a kabbalistic ascetic treatise on devotion; while the "Torat ha-Asham" enumerates the various modes of penance for each transgression of the Jewish laws (Prague, 1613; Frankfort-on-the-Oder, 1691; incorporated also in an edition of the daily prayer-book, printed at Amsterdam in 1881-82). Three other works - notably his "Bahure Hemed" (Desirable Young Men, Ezek. xxiii. 6), a commentary on Kimhi's "Miklol," and an independent work on ritual and dogma - are still unpublished.
