Collection of commentaries on various subjects including the Haggadah and Avot.
R. Elijah b. Abraham Solomon Ha'Kohen (d. 1729), one of the outstanding preachers of his time. Born in Smyrna, R. Elijah spent most of his life there as a preacher, dayyan, and rabbi. R. Elijah came from a family of rabbis and writers; his grandfather, R. Michael ha-Kohen, wrote exegetical works on the Torah, and his uncle, R. Isaac ha-Kohen, was also a writer. His father, R. Abraham Solomon ha-Kohen, one of the rabbis of Smyrna, is known for his involvement in the rescue of Jews who had been taken captive. It would seem that he was also a scholar, as R. Elijah often quotes him.
R. Elijah was a prolific writer; about 30 of his works are extant, some in print, others in manuscript; his lost works are known only from references to them in his own writings.
