Teomim's best-known work is a commentary on the Haggadah, Matteh Aharon ("the rod of Aaron"; Frankfort, 1678) which he wrote in fulfillment of a vow should he recover from a serious illness which had befallen him on Passover 1675. It has been reprinted many times (26 entries in Ya'ari's bibliography of Haggadot). Teomim also wrote Bigdei Aharon (Frankfort, 1710), sermons, and a volume of unpublished responsa, some of which are quoted in contemporary works. These writings found a severe critic in Jair Hayyim Bacharach, son of Samson. His motives were probably not disinterested, as he claimed the rabbinate, which had been held by both his father and grandfather. He accused Teomim of distorting the import of the Talmud and falsifying the true meaning of the aggadah.
שער מצויר. מעבר לשער: הקדמה לבן המחבר. כותב בין השאר: שכבר הי' נדפס שני פעמים. נדפס תחילה בשנת תל"ח, ושנית בשנת תנ"ה, בתוך: ספר חלוקא דרבנן. עי' למעלה. בדף כה-כח תרגום אשכנזי, באותיות מרובעות, לפיוטים "אדיר הוא", "אחד מי יודע" ו"חד גדיא".
הסכמה: ר' נפתלי הכהן, וראנקבורט דמיין, י תמוז ת"ע.
