Description
Responsa. R. Israel Jacob b. Yom Tov Algazi (1680–1756), halakhic scholar and kabbalist, grandson of R. (Nissim) Solomon Algazi and R. Joseph Hazzan. Probably born in Smyrna, Algazi lived in Safed, and for a few years, prior to 1730, in Smyrna. He was a member of a closed circle of kabbalists headed by Jacob Vilna. Algazi copied and published Hemdat Yamim (Smyrna, 1731–32), with many of his own glosses. By 1737 he was in Jerusalem and, a year later, dedicated "Neveh Shalom Berit Avraham," a yeshivah founded there for him. Algazi became head of Bet El, a bet midrash for pietists, and was consequently known as "the pietist rabbi." His was the first signature on the constitution of the kabbalistic group Ahavat Shalom. Algazi was appointed chief rabbi upon the death of his colleague, R. Isaac ha-Kohen (1755), but he died the following year. One of the most productive scholars of his time, he wrote many halakhic and homiletic works including: Emet le-Ya'akov (Constantinople, 1764) on the laws of Torah scrolls; Ara de-Rabbanan (ibid., 1745), reprinted with Judah Ayyash's commentary; Afra de-Ara (Leghorn, 1783), a methodology for Talmud and codes; Hug ha-Arez (Jerusalem, 1910; with addenda, 1927), on the laws of Purim; Ne'ot Ya'akov (Smyrna, 1767); Kehillat Ya'akov (Salonika, 1786), a methodology; Shalmei Zibbur and Shalmei Hagigah (Salonika, 1790), on the laws of prayer and blessings; sermons Part 1 Shema Ya'akov (Constantinople, 1745); and Part 2; She'erit Ya'akov (ibid., 1751). Some of his works are still in manuscript. H. J. D. Azulai, who knew him, condensed and completed Algazi's work, Emet le-Ya'akov, which he published under the title Le-David Emet (1786).
Paragraph 2
והוא חבור מקצת שאלות ותשובות. ואחריהם ... דרושים לכל חפציהם לשבתות השנה בחגים ובמועדים. ובתוכם ביאור ההגדה. וסמוך לחתימה קונטריס ... מענה לשון והיו תוצאותיו מאל"ף ועד תי"ו בביאו' לשון תורה לענין דרשה. הכינם וגם חקרם ... ר' ישראל יעקב אלגאזי זצוק"ל ... יתכן שיש להביא בחשבון פרט-השנה גם את האות ו של 'הטוב' ותאריך ההדפסה הוא תקכ"ז. אך תאריך זה סותר את התאריך המופיע על מצבתו של המדפיס: ה אב תקכ"ה (עיין: א' פריימן, ענייני שבתי צבי, ברלין תרע"ג, עמ' 145). דף [2]: הקדמת בן המחבר, ר' יום טוב אלגאזי. דף כד-עט: גט מקושר; קונטריס כולל דיני שטר קדושין ... מאת ר' יום טוב אלגאזי, בן המחבר. דף א-כט, א (מן הספירה השנייה): דרושים לשבת חנוכה, לשבת שקלים, לשבת זכור, לשבת פרה, לשבת החודש, לחג הפסח. דף כט, א-נו, ב: ביאור ההגדה. דף נו, ב-סא: דרוש לחג השבועות. לט דף: ספר מענה לשון והוא ביאור לשון תורה לענין דרשה.
